Palmistry....... An Insight Of this Art
~ღ« เй$เYáн »ღ~:
Palmistry begins with the obvious and proceeds, by innumerable intricate steps of judgment and interpretation, to extreme details of the palm. Conclusions can be made from a palmistry reading that can provide you with answers to questions you have regarding your life.
A palmistry reader can interpret aspects of a persons life by reading the lines of palmistry.A serious palmistry practitioner will begin by examining both hands: with a right-handed subject the left hand is considered the ‘birth hand’, which shows inherited predispositions of character, while the right hand is thought to reflect individuality, flexibility and potential. For the left-handed subject the opposite would be true.
Palmistry, also known as chiromancy, is the practice of telling fortunes from the lines, marks, and patterns on the hands, particularly the palms.
Palmistry was practiced in many ancient cultures, such as India, China and Egypt. The first book on the subject appeared in the 15th century. The term chiromancy comes from the Greek word for hand (cheir).
Some palmistry mimics metoposcopy or physiognomy. It claims that you can tell what a person is like by the shape of their hands. Creative people have fan-shaped hands and sensitive souls have narrow, pointy fingers and fleshy palms, etc. There is about as much scientific support for such notions as there is for phrenology. All such forms of divination seem to be based on sympathetic magic and cold reading.
Although you can often tell a lot about a person by examining his or her hands, there is no scientific support for the claim that you tell such things as whether you will inherit money or find your true love from the lines or marks on your hands. I suspect that many of those who think they have found support for palmistry are guilty of confirmation bias and have found it in the form of anecdote.
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 thumb print when sealing documents in 3000 BC.
Information on the laws and practice 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.

Color of the Skin in Palmistry
The health of a person is often indicated by the color 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. Blue-ish hands indicate a sluggish condition of the circulation of the blood supply. The normal color 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. It’s 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 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, and 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 spatulate fingertips. People with these spatulate 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 inventers 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 are often pleased to find this loop on people’s 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 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 an employee that will cause problems.

Palmistry And Health
Earth Hand
A short, pear-shaped hand, with square palm with thick base, sausage fingers, flat triangular nails. Often seen reaching into cookie jars.
Persons with the Earth hand require adequate chi in their digestive center. Since their digestive organs, especially stomach, spleen, and pancreas, as well as their blood sugar balance, are at issue, they may crave sweets and feel woozy from hunger. They'll reach for sweets or rich foods for comfort, grounding, or energy. Earth and Metal types are those most prone to food addictions. When depressed, they gorge on ice cream or cheese, which can lead to overweight and phlegm, resulting in difficult breathing and tumors. Without a healthy diet and exercise routine, low energy and poor digestion lead the Earth person to heart trouble, diabetes, or hypoglycemia.
Earth types need to feel comfort in their emotional center. This includes home, relationships, and work. They like everything to be smooth and friendly. At their best, they are peacemakers. Untiring, they struggle to bring forth an idea or make a group cohere. At worst, they eat to satisfy the unsatisfiable. Emotional issues for the Earth person involve incorporation. If they love you, they can "eat you up." They crave stability and warmth. They love having congenial family around, especially at feasts. Their karmic issue is rumination.
If you are an Earth type, you should exercise, bend in the middle with sit-ups. One Tibetan doctor told an Earth type man to do one thousand prostrations before an image of the Buddha. He slowly went down onto his knees and bowed gently while exhaling until his head reached his meditation pillow. He did this twenty times twice daily, in front of a beautiful painting he'd bought in Asia. By the time he had finished the required number of prostrations, he had lost his stomachaches and extra weight. Exercise will help balance your blood sugar and lift your spirits. It will help bring you into your center of balance and well-being.
Water Hand
A short, fleshy hand. If you pinch loose skin on top of the hand or at the knuckles, it stays puckered. Nails are short, thin, or turn under with weakness; cuticle area is dark.
Persons with a Water-type hand often have edema (water retention) in the hands and elsewhere in the body because of weakness and fatigue. Often there is dark skin cir- cling the tops of their fingernails. Their energy and vulnerability are located in the kidney and adrenal area of the lower back. Fatigue for them can be crushing. It can feel like a heavy weight pulling them downward at the waistline. They may feel demoralized or hopeless when exhausted. They may descend to self-pity or find it hard to move at all.
When chi is in excess in the Water element, Water persons may feel overly courageous and daring, or, alternatively, claustrophobic and paranoid. Their karmic issue then becomes the need to develop steady, smooth energy. That gives them a sense of stability that helps them to overcome fear. Often, Water types tend to work hard enough to blow a fuse, then remain exhausted for a long time. Adrenal exhaustion can lead to mental fuzziness, poor memory, sexual problems, low immune strength, and global overweight.
When problems in the Water element are long-term, we should address both the yin (urinary function) and yang (energy function) of the kidney and adrenal glands.

Fire Hand
A long hand, with longer flexible fingers, small finger bent inward or hooked, convex, oval-shaped nails. Excess yang is red and warm. Excess yin is pale and cold. Passionate, sentimental Fire persons often wear red nail polish or talk with their hands.
Those people who have a Fire hand tend to have their chi centered higher in their body than normal. Their heart and chest symptoms (and emotions!) are important. For that reason they can often be hyperactive, anxious, insomniac, or emotionally unstable. Feeling "out of sync" can become their karmic issue. They tend to be very sensitive to their surroundings and relationships; sentimental, they come from the heart. Life can be very painful for them when chi becomes stuck in the chest, resulting in chest pains from emotional issues, stimulants, exhaustion, drugs, or medications.
If you are a Fire person, respect your need for rest and recovery from stress. Try to avoid the emotional sabotage caused by others who may ask a great deal from you. Avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine and overwork. Too much of either of these can make you feel out of touch with yourself or with everybody else.
Air Hand
The Air hand has long fingers and tends to have an abundance of clear lines in the palm. Air types spend their time in the intellecual realms. They are curious and full of ideas. They thrive on nervous energy and may be prone to worry and stress. Air types are communicators and are often good at working with the public. However they may tend to intellectualize their feelings and can have difficulty with close, personal relationships.

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 straighter. 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 Apollo 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.
