Palmistry Tips

Chiromancy or cheiromancy, (Greek cheir,“hand”; manteia, “divination”), is the art of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as palmistry,palm-reading, or hand analysis. The practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations.

Modern palmistry can trace its roots back to gypsy fortune tellers and Indian mystics, but often modern palmists combine traditional predictive techniques with psychology, holistic healing, and alternative methods of divination.

Techniques

• Chiromancy consists of the practice of evaluating a person's character or future life by "reading" the palm of that person's hand. Various "lines" ("heart line", "lifeline", etc.) and "mounts" (bumps) purportedly suggest interpretations by their relative sizes, qualities, and intersections. In some traditions, readers also examine characteristics of the fingers, fingernails, fingerprints and palm skin patterns (dermatoglyphics), skin texture and color, shape of the palm, and flexibility of the hand.
• A reader usually begins by reading the person's 'dominant hand' (the hand he or she writes with or uses the most). In some traditions of palmistry, the other hand is believed to carry past-life or karmic information, as well as hereditary traits.
• The basic framework for "Classical" palmistry (the most widely taught and practiced tradition)is rooted in Greek mythology. Each area of the palm and fingers is related to a god or goddess, and the features of that area indicate the nature of the corresponding aspect of the subject. For example, the ring finger is associated with the Greek god Apollo; characteristics of the ring finger are tied to the subject's dealings with art, music, aesthetics, fame, and harmony.

The Lines

Palmists look at three main lines: the heart line, the head line, and the life line.

• The heart line is the first of the major lines examined by a reader. It is found towards the top of the palm,under the fingers. In some traditions, the line is read as starting from the edge of the palm under the little finger and flowing across the palm towards the thumb;in others, it is seen as starting under the fingers and flowing toward the outside edge of the palm. This line is said to represent matters of the heart, both physical and metaphorical. Those who practice palmistry believe it can indicate emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and stoicism, in addition to various aspects of cardiac health.
• The next line identified by palmists is the head line. This line starts at the edge of the palm under the pointer finger and flows across the palm towards the outside edge. Often, the head line is joined with the life line at inception.This line is said to represent the person's mind and the way it works, including learning style, communication style, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge.It is also believed to indicate a preference for creative or analytical approaches to information (i.e., right brain or left brain).
• Finally, readers look at perhaps the most controversial line on the hand, the life line. This line extends from the edge of the palm above the thumb and travels in an arc towards the wrist. This line is believed to represent the person's vitality and vigor, physical health and general well being. The life line is also believed to reflect major life changes, including cataclysmic events, physical injuries, and re locations. Contrary to popular belief,modern palmists generally do not believe that the length of a person's life line is tied to the length of a person's life. Although there are methods used for calculating length of life handed down through many traditions, these are generally regarded as superstitious and not predictably accurate.

Other major lines or variations are:

• Asimian crease, or fusing of the heart and head lines, is believed by practitioners of palmistry to indicate that the person has no distinction between what is desired and what is thought, resulting in an intense nature with a tendency to rush into things.
• The fate line runs from the bottom of the palm near the wrist, up through the center of the palm towards the middle finger. This line is believed to be tied to the person's life path, including school and career choices, successes and obstacles.Sometimes this line is thought to reflect circumstances beyond the individual's control, or the person's choices and their consequences.

Other minor lines:

• Sun Line - parallel to the Fate Line, under the ring finger; believed to indicate fame or scandal
• Girdle of Venus - starts between the little and ring fingers, runs in a rough arc under the ring and middle fingers to end between the middle and pointer fingers; thought to relate to emotional intelligence and the ability to manipulate
• Union Lines - short horizontal lines found on the percussive edge of the palm between the Heart Line and the bottom of the little finger; believed to indicate close relationships, sometimes - but not always - romantic.
• Mercury Line - runs from the bottom of the palm near the wrist, up through the palm towards the little finger; purported to be an indicator of persistent health issues, business acumen, or skill in communication.
• Travel Lines -these are horizontal lines found on the percussive edge of the palm between the wrist and the heart line; each line is said to represent a trip taken by the subject- the longer the line, the more important the trip is to the subject.
• Other Markings - these include stars,crosses, triangles, squares, tridents, and rings under each of the fingers; their supposed impact and meaning varies by location on the palm and freedom from other interfering lines.
