Palmistry

Palmistry is the study of the human hand. It is the study of lines, ridges, mounts, fingers and more. It can help us find information about the past and future. It can also help us retrieve information about health.

Palmistry is a divination that has been around for thousands of years. It's said that the Solar system can be seen through the hand. So many religions see it so many different way. For instance, the Hindu religion believes the Thumb is the only signifacants in the hand. Palmistry is also mentioned in the Christian religions. In Job 37:7(He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. Proverbs 3:16(length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Exodus 7:5, Ezra 7:9 and Isaiah 8:11 also quote Palmistry. Muslim and Islamis faiths hand different ways of viewing the hands also. Hand movemments are used in religions when faces towards the shy, or in prayer. So many different things can be interpreted by the hands.

The Lines, when deep and long, can signify strength in that particular area. For instance, a good long, deep life line can signify vitality and a richness in life. A short line can signify a weakness in that particular area.

Ridges found on certain mounts can mean many different things. For instance, if you find a line on the Mount of Jupiter(index finger), that can signify an interest in astrology and metaphysical. There are certains lines in different mounts can mean so many different things. The Line of Uranus is vary rare, if one posses this line, you are more than likely extremely psychic.

The way your fingers are shaped, flexibilty, color, skin texture and more can help us understand so much about ourselves. Moons on the fingernails signify good health. White dots on the nails can show a calcium difficiency. Palmistry is a real good way to find out our health and things we may need to watch for. The thumb is also called the Ego or Will. If it's high set in the hand or flexible, it can show a certain amount of low self-esteem. While a low set thumb or one that is seen alot and not hidden with hand gestures can show someone with a strong Will and high self-esteem.

Some Palmist don't like to tell much about the health, but if it can be verified by both hands, it's important for the person to know. I suggest everyone have their hands looked at atleast once by a palmist. If the reader is well experienced, they will be able to tell what information you can handle, some that can't and the information that must be told. Your lines can change every six weeks or so, but I don't recommend having your palm read more than twice a year.
