Palmistry


You can tell a lot about a person by their hands. Size, shape and texture will speak volumes about a person. The best thing about palmistry is everyone wants you to take a peek into their soul…they beg you to! It's an easy way to get to know a person without having to ask anything.

I got this information from a website but I don't remember where. I hope it helps you in your palmistry journey. Remember, harm none!


, The Fingers
 This area represents the mental element. If the fingers predominate, the subjects sphere has a mainly mental atmosphere.

The Upper Palm
This area represents the abstract element. If the middle portion of the hand is more pronounced, this would indicate the subject excels in ambition, shrewdness, and/or aggression tempered by prudence.

The Lower Palm
This area represents the material element. The development of the lower portion of the hand has a tendency to indicate a cultivation of not so nice motives, directed towards self-gratification and selfishness.

A hand with all three areas proportionate represents a bright and intelligent nature.
