S

• Imagine the letter s that resembles the dollar sign; we know that money is on the writer's mind.

For the letter T, please see Chapter 4.

U

• The very nature of the letter u is a garland, which implies the easygoing, friendly human being. When this natural form is changed-for example, into an angular shape, we see a writer with a strong resistance to friendliness. The angle shows hardness in general, and here the hardness is emphasized.

• Consider the wavy-lined letter (‘u’). This writer has the diplomatic touch and tries to be slippery and not commit himself to a particular course of action. Wavy-lined writing also shows versatility.

V

• Picture a word, such as ‘leave.’ The word starts in a connected fashion, and suddenly the right side of the letter ‘v’ rises up and seems to be saying, "I've had enough, let me out of here!" The end of the word is left stranded, alone--a sign of revolt, of one who wants to break away from the conditions as they are.

• Imagine a hook at the top of the upstroke. The ‘v’ by its very nature, being angular, represents hardness, but that does not seem to be enough for this writer, for he also adds a hook. He is probably mean, the kind of person who seeks revenge for slights. Here he had already finished writing the letter but, having some unfinished business to tend to, he hooked back onto the end stroke.

W

• The letter ‘W’ has a ‘right’ to be angular (as does the v), but its simplified form shows intelligence and its angularity a piercing mind.

X

• The x naturally looks like a tough letter, as though two men were dueling with swords. When, the end stroke extends an already ‘belligerent’ letter into the lower zone (to pick up some strength) we see a person with a fierce temper.

• Consider two separate strokes crossing each other. The x shows a fighting nature when it is written in two strokes that are diagonals. The fact that the strokes cross in the middle shows exactness. Note: An ‘x’ made in the cursive fashion does not show a fighting nature--that is only indicated when the strokes are made as diagonals.

Y

• Picture the letter (‘y’) made in a soft manner (resembling the Palmer Method, which is by nature, a round kind of writing). Any letter with a gentle loop in the lower zone shows friendliness and kindness in relation to the writer’s physical drive.

Z

• Consider the end stroke (of the ‘z’), which descends when it should be horizontal. This shows that the writer finds himself in a state of depression.
