Palmistry is the art of telling the future from the lines on the palms of your hands.
The lines are unique to each person and are said to show the person’s character
and what will happen in the future.
Palmistry began in India thousands of years ago a form of counseling.
Which hand to see?
This is the first question that is asked by most people. Traditional Palmistry suggests
that the left hand of women and the right hand of men are to be seen. However, the
scientific approach differs greatly in its approach. The scientific approach says
that it is important to see both the hands of a person. It states further, that
the left hand is a doorway to the natural person of the client, whereas the right
hand shows what he has done with his personality and talents. Of course, this is
opposite for the left handed person.
(1).The Life line
The Life line is the line that wraps around your thumb and ends at the wrist. Contrary
to legend, the length of the Life line cannot and should not be used to predict
the life span of the individual. This is not accurate and can do absolutely no good.
The Life line gives us a good idea of the person’s Life energies, and how directed
the person is. As you read a lot of palms, you will learn to distinguish the various
energy levels between these two extremes.
• A shallow Life line means that the life energies are weak, and the person tends
to be tired a lot. He may tend to procrastinate and put off unpleasant necessities.
• A strong Life line means that the person is vital and energetic; his energies
are high and very focused. He is very directed and goal-oriented.
• A Life line that hugs in close to the thumb denotes a ‘homebody’; home and hearth
will mean a great deal to them.
• A line that sweeps out across the hand denotes someone with an ‘itchy foot’- they
will travel a lot because they tend to be restless. Once again, there are many shades
of grey in this area; you will find very few ‘pure’ palms.
Spurs and lines shooting off from the Life line can speak volumes. Spurs that shoot
toward the wrist indicate down periods in the person’s life while upward spurs indicate
happy periods..
(2).The Head line
The Head line is the line that starts at the side of your hand, just above the Life
line, and travels horizontally across the palm. Where the Head line ends is of the
utmost importance. The Head line denotes patterns of thought and tells us if a person
is logical or imaginative in his or her approach to problem solving.
• A Head line that is straight and points to the heel of the hand belongs to a practical,
logical person. They prefer a direct approach to life and tend to see things in
terms of black and white. They can be somewhat of a perfectionist.
• A Head line that curves in toward the wrist denotes a person who is imaginative
and creative in their approach to life and problem solving.
• The curvier the line, the more imaginative the approach. If the line travels far
down into the heel of the hand, you have someone who is a bit of a dreamer, and
perhaps unrealistic in his or her ambitions.
(3).The Heart line
The Heart line is the most important line in the hand, because most people want
to know about their romantic prospects. You could make a good living simply by reading
the Heart Line alone!
Remember, I do not believe that palmistry can pinpoint future events — at least
not without taking into account the effects of karma. You can’t predict the exact
date when someone will meet the 'person of their dreams' by studying their Heart
Line, for example. However, if you can get a feel for how the person thinks and
for some of their emotional strategies, and you know a lot about human behavior
patterns, you can make a few good, shrewd guesses about their future. A little intuition
and Clairvoyant ability helps, too.
The Heart line starts at the edge of the hand above the Head line, and travels across
the hand toward the thumb side. Where the Heart line ends is important.
• If the Heart Line ends under the first finger, it denotes someone who is very
romantic, and who may put partners on a pedestal. They may be the type who ‘fall
in love with Love'!
• A Heart line that ends under the second finger denotes someone who is flamboyant
and dynamic in their affections. Watch out! You may get your head hugged off. People
with this line love to show their affection and receive great satisfaction from
helping others.
• A Heart line that travels up into the second finger is very rare and known as
the Gift of Mercy. These people are capable of great, loving sacrifice in the service
of others. Mother Theresa had this formation, and that should tell you a lot.
• When the Heart line ends between the first and second finger, you have a good,
balanced approach to love. You are able to give and receive affection appropriately,
and do not get so caught up in another that you lose sight of yourself. This also
indicates a healthy enjoyment of physical love.
(4). The Fate line
The Fate line travels vertically up the palm and denotes the person’s ambitions.
Basically, a long, straight Fate line indicates someone with good drive and focus.
A splintered, forked, or interrupted line denotes uncertainty in the life path.
The person could be at odds with himself.
(5). The Sun line
The Sun Line is a good line to have, as it denotes success in your endeavors. It
can indicate fame, popularity, and attachment to an expensive life-style. There
are some very complicated ways to tell exactly what endeavors are most propitious,
but that is for advanced readers.
(6). The Mercury line
The Mercury line indicates amazing communication skills. People with this line are
natural salespeople, very chatty and charming, and communicate well with others.
(7). The Girdle of Venus
It indicates extreme emotional sensitivity and empathy.
(8). The Ring of Solomon
The Ring of Solomon denotes Psychic ability and wisdom.
(9). The Ring of Saturn
The Ring of Saturn shows an Old Soul, someone who is wise beyond his or her years.
It can indicate a natural teacher or spiritual leader.
(10). The Medical Stigmata
It indicates a natural healer.
(11). Children's lines
Children's lines do not necessarily show the number of children you will have, but
the number of children you’re capable of parenting. Often people express this parenting
need though pets, other people’s children, or by working with kids in their spare
time.
(12). Marriage lines
Marriage lines Like Children's lines, these do not necessarily show how many marriages
you'll have but the number of soul mates you'll encounter during your life.
(13). The Bow of Intuition
The Bow of Intuition is self-explanatory. This is a sign of a naturally strong sense
of intuition.
(14). The Via Lascivia
The Via Lascivia gives the owner an above-average interest in sex. He or she may
be quite 'kinky.'
(15). The Mars line
The Mars line Increased success, assertiveness and competitive skills. Some schools
of palmistry associate this sign with the presence of a protective spirit.
(16). Sympathy lines
Sympathy lines give a person a sympathetic, understanding outlook.
(17). The Family Ring
It shows that the person has a great love for home and hearth, and that family will
always be important.
(18). Bracelets or Rachettes
Bracelets or Rachettes act as extra Life lines and add strength, alertness and virility
to the person as they advance in years.
