How to sign “Futures” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Futures” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Open your dominant hand into a flat 5, fingers spread with the thumb out.
- Hold the open hand just off your cheek, near the temple, without touching it.
- Sweep the hand forward in one smooth outward arc toward the future ahead.
- Keep the palm facing inward toward your face as the hand travels forward.
- Stay neutral in the face; a repeated double arc stretches the meaning to someday.
