palmistry basics
Palm Reading is a divination tool used to tell the future by studying one's hand. One can tell a lot about a person from the shape and lines in a hand. A person's personality is revealed in great detail! Most character is genetic, and these inherited traits are reflected in finger prints and the many patterns that are found in the palm.
The Life Line is one of the four major lines found in the hand. It indicates the path of your life, the course that your life will take, emotions, illness, time or age frames, and personality. If your life line is joined with the HEAD LINE, examine the length of the two lines that meet to determine the amount of time that you have been emotionally dependent upon your parents. If the lines joined are relatively short, then independence was taken on at an early age, and if the lines join for a long section, you may be still very much attached emotionally. If the two lines never are in contact at the beginning, this indicates a very independent person.
The life line begins on the side of the palm that is under the index finger. It usually has the same starting point as the head line. It makes a somewhat circular curve around the thumb. The life line is the only line one on the hand which can be divided into an approximate time-frame of years and age. Age can be determined by dividing the lifeline equally into three sections beginning at the top of the line. (where it starts with the head line). The first section (including the section which connects or doesn't connect with the Head line) represents the first 25 years of the lifetime. The second section represents approximately ages 26-50, and the third section represents ages 50 and up.
A deep, clear life line running smoothly through the full length shows a rich, healthy life. Many chains, or a weak line shows probable poor health. If the line is fractured at the end in many chains in the third section, you should be warned of bad health in late years. (A parallel to the Life line, on the side of the Mount of Venus, shows useful luck and natural vitality working for the subject. This is always a good sign. ) On most palms you will notice that there are many tiny lines which run from the line of the Head to the Life line. Each of these indicates a goal of some kind that will be attained. If you work out the above time-scale carefully, you should be able to tell, with reasonable accuracy, when a major event will happen.
A long pinkie finger shows a sharp, quick, clever, shrewd mind. A person with this, is found to be friendly, good with people skills, and outgoing. The little finger represents sex and communication. All sorts of sexual and romantic qualities are shown here, as well as the ability to speak, write or express oneself. Thumbs show willpower. Powerful, domineering people have big thumbs. Soft spoken people generally have little thumbs. The actual shape of the fingertips is important. Squared off tips show a precise, tidy mind. People with round-tipped fingers are relaxed. The proportions between the finger lengths and the lengths of the palm are indicative of the amount of impulse that is demonstrated. Longer fingers (as compared to the length of the palm) show carefulness. Short fingers belong to someone who is impulsive.
