Basic Palmistry Part I

Palmistry is an ancient fine art and one that have many systems of interpretation. It is also an intuitive fine art that is easily learned just by learning a few rudiments about the symbolism that is represented by the lines that run across the palm, the mounts (or fleshy parts) of the palm and the construction of fingers.

In some systems, the right manus stands for who you are today and the left hand, everything that you were born with when you came into this world. For "palmistry on the run" though it is best to read the manus that the individual composes with, as that would be considered to be dominant hand.

In palmistry, the manus as a whole is divided into three different sections. The Fingers stand for the head and the higher self. The center of the palm stands for day-to-day life and the conscious mind. The less one-half of the manus stands for primal instincts, wellness and basic thrusts of the subconscious. Palmistry is all about proportion, symmetricalness and deformations of what would be considered to be a perfectly formed hand.

You can state a batch about a individual by looking at their pollex and fingers. The pollex have three phalanges. Its tip stands for will power. A baseball club shaped pollex bespeaks criminal tendency. Pointed or long tips bespeak creativeness and intelligence. The center phalange stands for logic. The longer the phalange, the more than efficient and strategical the person. The fleshy portion at the alkali of the pollex is called the Saddle Horse of Venus, which stands for empathy, emotion, grace and compassion. The fatter and fleshier this portion of the manus is, the more than sensitive and compassionate the individual.

The index finger correlatives to the planet Jupiter and bespeaks good fortune and career. The center finger is related to Saturn and limitations and restrictions in life. The ring finger is called the Apollo. It associates to self-expression and intelligence. The pinkie finger belongs to the planet Mercury, which is about your ability to pass on with others and prolong relationships. The longer and straighter the finger, the more than good fortune a individual can anticipate to have got in these areas. All these fingers have got their ain mounts, which are located on the palm right below each one. The more than than developed or marked these fleshy hills are beneath the finger, the more developed that trait is in a person.

The Saddle Horse of Jupiter below the index fingers stands for ambition, leadership, religion, award and love of nature.

The Saddle Horse of Saturn below the center finger stands for sanity, sobriety, wisdom, invagination and karmic events such as as good or bad luck.

The Saddle Horse of Phoebus below the ring stands for confidence, creativity, impulsiveness and extroversion.

The Saddle Horse of Mercury below your small finger have to make with ability to sell yourself, communication, quickness, connexion as well as authorship and mathematical abilities. Sometimes the Saddle Horse of Mercury will be feathered with short perpendicular lines that are called Lines of Affection. These sometimes bespeak the figure of deep emotional connexions or important human relationships in a person's life.

Right below the Saddle Horse of Mercury (below the small finger there are two more than mounts. About one-half manner down is the Saddle Horse of Upper Berth Mars, which reflects your temperament: if this hill is fleshy then the individual be givens to be more than brave or war-like. Below that, near the alkali of the manus is the Saddle Horse of Luna (also known as the Saddle Horse of the Moon). This hill reflects such as qualities as generosity, heat and imagination. If it is over marked it can bespeak a inclination to madness.

Below the Saddle Horse of Jupiter (follow the index finger downwards) lies the Lower Berth Mars, which covers with aggression, ill will and capacity for evil. The centre of the palm is called the Airplane of Mars. If the airplane have a dip in it you are calm, cool and collected. If it is raised or level you are more than likely to display a bad temper.

The Heart Line cuts laterally across the upper palm between the mounts of Jupiter and Mercury. Loops, bubbles, cuts and interruptions in this line bespeak human relationships and episodes occurring in a person's love life.

The Head Line is normally positioned and can cut across the palm or curved shape downward. It is an index of intelligence and mental health. An optimal Head line runs straight, is deep and have a long extension almost to the other side of the palm. This more than the newspaper headline curved shapes downward towards the list, the less control the individual may have got over his or her emotions.

The Life Line usually circles the pollex and gets under the mount of Jupiter and widens to the wrist. It encircles the Saddle Horse of Lower Berth Red Planet and Venus and in most lawsuits stops at the alkali of the hand. This line bespeaks major life events as well as the wellness of the subject. The longer this line is, the longer the individual volition live.

The 4th chief prevarication on the palm is called the Line of Destiny (also known as the Line of Faith. This line runs vertically from the center of the alkali of the palm and up towards the center finger. It is an index of stuff and fiscal strength. The deeper, stronger and less broken the line, the more than likely the individual is likely to be successful. It also bespeaks a serious, concern like nature.

The line of Phoebus is a perpendicular line that is establish on the upper portion of the Saddle Horse of the Moon. It have been called the line of the Sun, and the line of Brilliancy, and to it have been ascribed the gift of great artistic talents, wealthiness and fame. Not every manus possesses this line.

The line of Mercury have been variously called the line of Health or the line of Liver. It is establish either on Saddle Horse of Mercury or the Apparent of Mars. If there is no line you are probably blessed with first-class health. Strong markings in this country bespeak problems with health.

There are many Child Lines that don't look in every manus but one of the best known is the Girdle of Venus that starts between the Mounts of Jupiter and Saturn and ends around the small finger. This line looks like a cringle circling three of your four fingers and its presence is supposed to bespeak beauty and fortune in romance. The manus is filled with all sorts of markings, lines, feathers, stars, and traverses --each with peculiar meanings.

As a rule of pollex (no punning intended) any time you happen a marking on a mound, it usually bespeaks that something particular is going on in that section of your life. Next month’s New Age Notebook will travel into more than item about the significances of these symbols in the hand.
