TAKE A CAREFUL LOOK AT THE PALM OF YOUR RIGHT HAND. It’s mind-boggling to think those tiny lines and furrows represent your entire body in microcosm. We sometimes say we know something like the back of our hand, but this saying is wrong. Hand prints are as varied as the human population, and the palm print speaks a mystifying language that only dedicated palmists have deciphered.

Modern palmistry dates back to ancient times. The oldest cave paintings on record show handprints in ashes or ochre placed on walls, which depict the unique and individual signature of the occupants. Studying these palm prints offers a fascinating glimpse into the psyche of the earliest humans.

Since the wealth of information held in the hand print is so vast, the study of the hand is narrowed into many different specialties. Chierognomy is the study of hand shape. Chierology is the study of the lines themselves. Ring finger law is Spragistics, nail study is Onychology, and fingerprint analysis is called Dermatoglyphics. There are many more, but these are the five most accepted as the basis for a short hand analysis.

Take another look at your own palm. The first line to form on the hand, occurs in the first few weeks of life in the womb, and is known as the line of life. It governs our physical constitution throughout our life. Every other sign and shape must be compared to this, the most important line of all.

The top crossing line in the hand, known to medicine as the upper transverse crease, is the line of heart. A palmist can read the owner’s emotional infrastructure, and the general cardio-vascular system.

The lower of the two crossing lines is the head line, giving the intellectual function thought processes, and the head physically.

The line that runs up from the hand base to the area of the middle or Saturn finger, is known as the fate or destiny line.

Turn your hand and now view the small diagonal lines under the little or mercury finger. Those are relationship lines, and the small line under the ring finger, is traditionally called the line of Apollo.

It is important to remember these few basics, as they will be referred to in future columns. In the coming issues, I am excited to share hand-prints from my own collection, going back fifty years. I have some from my school days, and even some of famous people. I also want to view some sent in by you, the readers, to show how help and healing can be achieved through reading your hand.

The palms of the hands contain minor chakras, and for those with clairvoyant vision the streams of colour that emanate from the hands are unforgettable. The entire rainbow glows in hues more deep and vibrant than any earthly colour.

The bottom line in any reading should be healing. Palmistry is the greatest of divinatory sciences, because it does not read the stars or cards or crystals or outside spirits…only the human soul.

Remember the biblical passage in micah.3-6:
“therefore it shall be night unto you without a divination”
and to give divinatory help, is to give light into the darkness.

In my lengthy career as a palmist, I have had the pleasure to read some famous hands. This is the handprint of a young British celebrity in a well known girl’s singing group. She came to me because she desperately wants children. Her main concern is whether to leave the group for a solo career, fitted around her planned family.

Let’s look at that palm print to see if we can solve her dilemma. This palmascope shows difficulties bonding with the father in childhood, a problem that has continued into her adult life. This is typical in a hand with a very low set mercury finger. (2) Psychologists tell us that every relationship we ever have is subconsciously based on the first one with our parents. In this case, the paternal relationship, was loose or dysfunctional. This has led our lady into unsatisfactory relationship situations.

She is good at keeping secrets. She is a classic C-personality in that she bottles her feelings, afraid of hurting others. She occasionally blows up to release the inner turmoil. This is seen because the little finger is shorter than average.

She is sensitive, caring, artistic, and spiritual, and puts others before herself, too much. Most of her emotional hurts have been because she wants the best for others. She exhibits a wide range of romantic feelings, which makes her delightful company. Her heart will always rule her head, now an unfashionable trend with many young women. Her deep need for love and appreciation roots back to her father who was unable to express his love. This manifests in our lady’s compensatory need to care for others.

The lifeline, at the age of fourteen, is sluggish.(3) The many lines show sensitivity and anxiety. The whole hand is one of constant self analysis, and the low setting of the mercury finger tells us of difficulty in speaking out. She suffered from self consciousness and shyness. In school, she had a streak of inhibition where she felt awkward and anxious.

A beautiful feminine hand goes with a beautiful feminine girl. At 18 years of age, she had thoughts of a serious romance.(4) She desired to share her creativity in fashion and beauty which ultimately will manifest in acting ability. But at present, her singing talent, sense of humour, and feminine beauty have paid dividends.

She has strong self confidence in all areas except emotionally and sexually. (1) and (2) There, she is not at peace with herself and it is here that her main “bottling up” shows.
I advised her to not marry until she is 24–25 years of age. There is a time in our lives for sowing and one for reaping. Her emotional harvest is ripe at this age. Not before.
I advised her not to break up her successful girl’s group. Now is not the time for her to go it alone, but counselled her to discuss her longing for a child, and need for time. Eventually she will progress to acting, but not yet. She would do well in any aspect of show business and at the age of 33, around October, her lifeline says, this is the time to celebrate a great achievement. Her hand speaks of business ability, the urge to write and be artistic, and her great ability to love will find expression in these areas.

Her romantic profile is one of great beauty; she would and does make great sacrifice for those she cares for. At some time she will have love for, a Leo, a Gemini, and a Sagittarian with a commitment phobia. I can tell this by studying the first or Jupiter finger. The fingers have twelve sections or phalanges in which the small lines come and go. Starting from the tip of the Jupiter finger, I work down the phalanges. For each of the twelve sections I substitute a month or a star sign. This is one of palmistry’s big secrets for divination, the marks on the individual phalange tell the particulars

Our lady can be fretful and a worrier. I advised her to be aware, but don’t worry that she will have minor problems getting pregnant and carrying a baby. The bowed top bracelet line has been known since Roman times as a sign of difficulty in getting pregnant and carrying the child. (Marked children) Just make sure it is after the karmic year of age 24-25. Two children show quite plainly. The children are the standing lines from the relationship lines under the mercury finger.

Each branch coming down from the heart line tells of a disappointment, and she has had her share of hurts. Time for her to push them into the past but learn from them. I told her to let go of the insecurity in love, home or future…all is well.
