PALMISTRY

Judging by the number of hands painted in prehistoric caves it would seem that palmistry held a interest for humans since the stone age. Archaeological discoveries have discovered hands made of stone, wood and ivory by ancient civilizations. The emperor of china used his thumbprint when sealing documents in 3000 bc. Information on the laws and practise of hand reading have been found in vedic scripts, the bible and early semitic writings. Aristotle (384-322 bc) discovered a treatise on palmistry on an alter to the god hermes. The greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen (ad 130-200) were both knowledgeable about the use of palmistry as a clinical aid. Julius Caesar (102-44bc) judged his men by palmistry. Notable people such as Paracelsus (1493-1541) and Fludd (1574-1637) brought respectability to palmistry through their writings. Later Dr Carl Carus, physician to the king of saxony in the 19th century matched palms to personality. Advances in genetics, psychology and forensics have propelled palmistry into the modern age. In 1901 Scotland yard adopted the technique of fingerprinting in criminal investigation and identification.

Medical researchers studying skin patterns (dermatoglyphics), have discovered a correspondence between genetic abnormalities and unusual markings in the hand. Research has confirmed a link between specific fingerprint patterns and heart disease. These days palmistry is well accepted throughout the world. Professional palmists can be found reading palms in every country in the world. Pick up almost any copy of a women's magazine and there is some information on palmistry. There are thousands of books written on the subject and there are palmistry clubs the world across.

Colour of the Skin in Palmistry
The health of a person is often indicated by the colour of their hands. Dead white hands often indicate a lack of circulation. Pink hands are usually a sign of good health in palmistry. Red hands may indicate high blood pressure. Bluish hands indicate a sluggish condition of the circulation of the blood supply. The normal colour of the palm should be rosy and pinkish.

One of the common questions people ask me about palmistry is what is the difference between reading the right hand to the left hand. Palmists will mostly examine your most active had which is usually the one you write with. Its this hand that shows your current and future trends. The passive hand in palmistry tends to show your childhood.

Another interesting question i often hear in palmistry is why do some people have many lines but others only a few. Well, first you will notice that mostly men will tend to have fewer lines then a woman. The majority of hands will have the four major lines, the fate, life, heart and head line. Often young people come to see me seeking answers from palmistry about the right career choice. It most be noted that if a person is truly dedicated to succeed in a career choice they will even if their palms may disagree. Palmistry does not take away free will. It is usually found that people who like to work outdoors have spatula fingertips. People with these spatula fingertips like to be constantly on the move. Over the years of studying palmistry I have also come to notice that these same people often are good inventors as well. It should also be noted that if they have an earth shaped hand they will like the countryside and often make good farmers or at least gardeners. These people like stability and become stressed in times of change. A full set of square fingertips in palmistry shows us the orderly methodical type of person. Found often in accountants. Everything must be in its proper place with the highest degree of accuracy. The fingers tend to sit close together and the tips are smooth. Do you have a loop of seriousness on your palm. This loop sits between your ring finger and the middle finger. On women it usually indicates they are nurses or teachers. On men it can show business skills and success in life. A long middle finger will support this further. These people believe in getting ahead and im often pleased to find this loop on peoples hands in my study of palmistry. But what about the index finger in palmistry. Well if a person has a strong index finger that thrusts out on its own it shows a person who likes to lead and make decisions. These people go well as managers. They are good at controlling large amounts of staff. But if the person has a short index finger it will show the palmist that the person likes to work alone and often become self employed as a writer or an artist. Palmistry shows us much about the work directions people will take in life. People with arch fingerprints usually have jobs that re detailed special skills. But whorl fingerprints show us some artistic skills in palmistry. Small handed people do things on a big level, people with big hands do things involving fine detail. But remember it is relevant to your overall body size. People with air hands are good communicators, are popular and often work in the area of media.

But in the study of palmistry what happens when we see people with a missing fate line. These people have a somewhat unique nature about them. Often they will change jobs several times in their life. Their life is never settled and they shift around a lot. But how can palmistry help the employer find the right employee. Well, the simplest way is to look the the fingers. If they lie close together it shows a hard working stable employee. But if there are wide gaps between the fingers it may show a employee that will cause problems.

Finger Nails in Palmistry
Square : Easy going nature and an even temperament.
Broad : A strong character with an explosive temper.
Fan Shape : Nails adopt this shape when the person has been suffering from long term stress.
Almond : Gentle, kind people who are often daydreamers.
Narrow : These people are cold and selfish.
Vertical Ridges : May indicate rheumatic problems.
Horizon Ridges : Dietary deficiencies.
Dished : Chemical imbalance.
Wrap Around : May indicate respiratory problems.
Over Large Moons : May indicate an overactive thyroid problem.
Red Bails : Indicate people who are impatient.
Pale Nails : May indicate an iron deficiency.

Hair on the Hands in Palmistry
On most hands you will find little or no hair. Hair is most common on the back of men's hands. Usually the more hair, the more the physical strength. Colour of the hair is important. A profusely hairy hand is often found on men with a high sex drive. They also tend to over eat, and often in times of crisis will revert to their animal instincts. When the hair on the back of the hand is sparse, fine and thin, it indicates people with lack of vigor. They often tend to suffer from nervous problems. Although on the good side, people with less hair are more diplomatic.

Markings On The Line Of Success in Palmistry
Islands on the Line of Success indicate serious problems such as a major loss of money. Dots on the Line of Success indicate loss of name. Cutting bars on the Line of Success cause setbacks in your career.

Heart Line
It can be said the Heart Line is not just a way telling what will happen but also a way of finding out why things happen. But do not use the heart line to time certain events as is not reliable. Imagine two heart lines extending from the edge of the hand below the little finger to between the first and second fingers. The first line is a deep curve while the second heart line is more straight. The curved line is active in romantic matters while the straight line is passive. The curved heart line is aggressive in love, the straight is receptive. The curved heart line is demonstrative while the straight line thinks about it. Interestingly the curved line is much more common on male hands while the straight line is more common on female hands. A heart line that becomes a steep curve below the index and middle finger indicates someone who has a strong sexual desire. If the heart line ends up under the index finger it indicates someone who is choosy about their partner........

Head Line
Although the head line shows how a person thinks it does not show how intelligent you are. An average head line ends somewhere under the ring finger. A short head line indicates a person whose thinking is simple and straight to the point. A long head line indicates a person who thinks things through very carefully. A straight head line indicates clear concentrated thinking. A curved head line belongs to a person who likes to play with new ideas. Sloping head lines belong to creative people. Horizontal head lines belong to people who look at the practical side of the matter. Chained head lines belong to highly strung people. A fork in the headline shows the ability to see more than one point of view. A floating head line is indicative of someone with a carefree attitude. A head line that starts under the index finger indicates a brilliant mind.

Life Line
The life line does not indicate how old you will live. What the line reveals is the quality of your life. It is an index of how much vitality, strength and energy you have. A life line running close to the thumb indicates a person of low vitality, sometimes found in the hands of people who suffer chronic fatigue syndrome. A life line that runs a wide curve shows a person with lots of vitality, get up and go. If the head line is stronger than the life line it shows a person who is more mentally than physically active. A chained life line indicates a delicate health. Little lines rising indicate an active personality. Outward swinging lines indicate a love of travel. Most of the small lines on the life line refer to particular events at certain times of your life. A branch leading to the Jupiter mount is a sign of academic achievement. A branch that leads to the Saturn mount indicates a successful property transaction. A branch towards the Appollo mount indicates monetary gain. A branch towards the Mercury mount indicates business success.



Fate Line
Strong fate lines belong to people who settle into a pattern of life early. Weak fate lines tend to belong to people who are unsettled and tend to change jobs a lot. Fate lines starting at the very bottom of the palm indicate people who settle into their life path early. When the fate line ends at the head line it indicates a person who seems to lose their way somewhere between 30 to 40 years old. You will find that most fate lines end at the heart line. However if the fate line runs all the way almost to the middle finger these people tend to be active right up into old age. A fate line that is tied to the heart line indicates a restricted childhood. Two fate lines are found on people who pursue two careers at the same time. The absence of a fate line indicates a person who lacks stability. It is also found on the hands of alcoholics and drug addicts.

Fire Hand
The fire hand has a long palm and short fingers. People with this shaped hand tend to be active, outgoing and often extroverts. They are excitable and emotional. They like to be in charge and control other people. There is always a large number of strong lines on the hands and usually whorl fingerprints. Fire handed people tend to have a lot of injuries and accidents.

Earth Hand
People with an earth hand have square palms with short fingers. There are usually few lines and often arches on the fingertips. People with this hand dont like change. They tend to be slow in nature and have a strong affinity to nature and the bush. They are emotionally stable and make the best workers. Interesting is the fact that you often find successful artists and photographers with earth hands. Most people with trade jobs such as a carpenter have earth hands. People with an Earth hand usually like outdoor jobs, and prefer job security.

Air Hand
In palmistry The air hand has a square palm with long fingers. The lines tend to be thin and the prints are usually loops. They are good at talking and writing. They are cheerful and happy people who often end up working in the communication industry. They need constant intellectual stimulation and have a low boredom threshold. They often like flying and travel. They may have written a book or often think about it.

Water Hand
Water hand people have a palm that is rectangular with long fingers. The hand tends to have a large amount of fine lines. The prints are also usually loops. Many people with this hand make good poets and musicians. They also go well in the fashion and beauty industry. They love to go sailing or boating. For people with this hand emotions are more important than reason.

Middle Finger
If the middle finger is long it indicates a person who treats life very seriously. They believe strongly in getting ahead. People with short middle fingers are careless and generally prefer not to work Most people tend to have a middle sized middle finger, meaning they are somewhere in between.

Ring Finger
If the ring finger is long the person will have a creative nature. They will go well in the field of art or fashion design. Sometimes this long ring finger is associated with people who have a gambling problem. Short ring fingers are extremely rare.

Little Finger
People with long little fingers have a high I.Q. They make good writers and speakers and have a strong sex drive. A short little finger reveals emotional immaturity. If the little finger is low set it indicates the person as a child had a problem with one of their parents. In some cases it indicates they were a victim of child abuse. If the little finger sticks out from the hand it may indicate the person is involved in a relationship they do not want to be in.

Simian Line
The simian line runs across the hand replacing the heart and head line. It is a sign of inner tension. It may be destructive or creative or even both. Its interesting to note that people who tend to be religious fanatics tend to have a simian line. Medicine has also found that simian lines may also be associated with certain types of heart defects. People with a simian line never really find peace. They spend their entire lives searching for an answer they never really find. To the person with the simian line there is only right or wrong and nothing in between. People with this line work twice as hard, study twice as hard and fight twice as hard.

Finger Tip Shapes
Square : People who have these fingertips tend to be careful and methodical thinkers. These people take a rational view of life.
However on the down side they tend to lack creativity.
Pointed : These people have a sensitive and fragile personality.
These finger tips are associated with artists, writers, poets and daydreamers.

Measuring age timeline in palmistry.

Apollo Line
The Apollo line is sometimes known as the line of sun. The line is not present in every hand but when it is it is a sign of happiness and achievement. The apollo line is also associated with a creative talent. The apollo line may commence from different points in the palm. Success tends to come to those whose apollo line starts high in the palm. If the apollo line is patchy it indicates that success will be patchy. In hands where there is no apollo line it tends to show that the person feels that happiness is out of reach. When there is multiple apollo lines it may indicate a person has many talents but is master of none. If the apollo line springs from the fate line it shows the point in life that the persons talents where recognized. Winning a substantial amount of money is indicated by a star on an apollo line. An island on the apollo line indicates a period where there is a loss of self esteem.

Medical Stigmata In Palmistry
There is a pattern often found on the hands of medical people which is called the medical stigmata. It is a small patch of vertical lines beneath the little finger. People with this marking are drawn to medical or social work. It is very common on the hands of nurses yet less common on the hands of doctors. This is interesting because it shows that some doctors choose their career path for money and prestige where as it tends to show that nurses are more emotionally involved in this choose of career. A hand with the medical stigmata and many fine lines will turn towards social work. People who work in the natural therapies area also have this mark. An unusual marking called the St Andrew cross is found on the hands of people who have saved the life of another.

Heart Problems
When we look at people hands they can show the experienced palmist a lot, including problems to do with the heart. Short nails are often found among people with a history of heart problems. Arch fingerprints are also associated with people who have heart problems and high blood pressure. The simian line is also associated with people who may have heart problems. If the heart line also has pronounced chaining it may indicate heart problems. A complete breaking up and fragmenting at the end of the heart line often occurs in people before a heart attack. When you see people with clubbed fingertips this is another sign.

Teachers Square In Palmistry
This little square which sits just under the index finger is a common sign found among people who work in the teaching profession. It doesn't always mean that the person is a school teacher. It is in fact found also in people who teach anything, whether it be paid or voluntary.

Mercury Line In Palmistry
If the mercury line begins on the mount of Luna or branches from the life line it is a sign of a good business head. People with this marking usually have their own business and are successful. People whose mercury line starts on the Venus mount and crosses through the life line usually work in the caring business. In the past some people believed having a mercury line indicated poor health, but this has since proven to be wrong. It is more an indicator of personal health. For example tiredness may make the line stronger while relaxation may make the line disappear altogether.

Minor Lines In Palmistry
Mars Line
The mars line runs inside the life line. The mars line indicates extra vitality and a sort of second protection.
Via Lascivia
The via lascivia is a horizontal line across the mount of luna. In the past it was thought to represent promiscuous behaviour. These days it is linked to people who have a sensitivity to allergies.

The Thumb In Palmistry
Will show a persons drive and how they apply that. The more ordinary the thumb the more ordinary the person. There are two sections, the top which shows willpower and the bottom which shows just how much you will push to get what you want. Large thumbs show a strong personality. Small thumbs show the person is more gentle. Long, broad thumbs belong to people who push hard and succeed. Long, narrow thumbs belong to people who want to succeed but don't have the driving force. Small, broad thumbs belong to people who lack determination. Thumbs that have an exceptionally wide top belong to aggressive people. If the other applies and the top is very narrow it indicates a sign of weakness. A thick top joint shows a person who is blunt. The tapered tip shows a subtle way of doing things. A thumb that holds itself close to the side of the hand shows a stingy person. A thumb that sticks out indicates a carefree personality.

Palm Mounts In Palmistry
To see if a mount is overlarge, well developed or lean you need to compare it to the other mounts in the hand.
Mount of Jupiter : Located at the base of the index finger it represents your self worth. If you are confident the mount will be well rounded. If it covers a wide area it shows you are generous. If it is high it suggests bossiness.
Mount og Saturn : Is found under the middle finger. A large mount indicates a gloomy attitude. Mars Positive : Is tucked into the crease of the thumb. Well developed it represents courage and a fighting spirit. If it is flat it indicates a cruel streak.
