The Pleasure of Palmistry

The art of palm reading comes with the territory of a professional psychic and it is one of the most intriguing and powerful techniques in the business. The way that the hand is sculpted can give insight into a person’s life that can be extremely enlightening. It’s a delicate and beautiful art; one that should be tried at least once in every person’s life.

I’ve come up with some information about palm reading for those of you that are interested. Just the basics but enough to help you become a bit more informed about the method and, at the very least, could provide you with a great party trick!

To start with, it helps to read the right (or should I say correct) hand! Each hand has something to offer; the left is said to show a person’s potential, the right shows what the person has done with this potential. If you are reading a younger person’s hand, or somebody who would like to know what the future holds for them, the left will be more informative.

Next, it is important to ascertain what kind of hand the person has. Earth, Air, Water and Fire are the varieties and each tells you something about personality traits.

Those with Earth hands are typically practical and logical, they like to be hands-on and outdoors. You can identify an Earth-hand through looking for a wide, square shaped palm with rough or worn skin and fingers of equal length to their palm.

Air-hands are those with long fingers and prominent knuckles. They often feature a square or rectangle palm and are indicators of intelligent, curious people. Air-handed people are often prone to nervousness or stress. However, they are great communicators, which can help them along their paths.

Water-handed souls are extremely emotional, which is not necessarily a bad trait. It leads them to be incredibly artistic and creative, peace lovers. They can be identified by their long, flexible fingers and oval palms. With the water-handed people, stress can be a problem and is not often handled well.

Lastly, the fire hand-type indicates an energetic person with little patience and tolerance. Though they have their difficult qualities, fire-handed individuals make great leaders and are often very successful. They can be identified through their pink skin-tone and short fingers – the palm is usually longer than the fingers.

Now, to turn over the hand to reveal the all-knowing lines. There are four major lines that run along the inside of a person’s hand: the heart, the head, the life and luck lines.

For some people, the heart line will be of the upmost importance as it provides information about everything concerning love. Those with love lines that begin between the index finger and middle finger wear their heart on their sleeve and tend to fall in love very easily. The selfish lovers of this world have heart lines that begin beneath their middle finger (appropriately!) and those with great love lives have a heart line that starts below their index finger. A short heart line suggests a lack of interest in love and those who have their heart broken easily have a heart line that touches their life line. It might be wise to have a sneak peak at this line before you agree to a second date! A tip for this instance is to go for somebody with a long, curvy heart line as they are excellent at communicating their feelings – no game playing in store!

The head line, that runs parallel to your heart line, suggests a person’s wisdom or intellect. A person who has a curvy head line is often creative and spontaneous, while those with straight lines are practical and logical in nature. A head line that wiggles along and refuses to be straight suggests a short attention span. A short one means that the person is much more suited to physical pursuits, while a deep, long, and straight head line indicates a person with focus. Those with head lines that meet their life line have a love of life and adventure that makes them lusty and bold.

The life line, shows character as well as important events within ones life. There is controversy over whether this line indicates age of death but with modern medicine these days the fate a person can be drastically altered, so it is best not to use this as an indicator. If you have a life line that sits close to the thumb it can mean that you have a predisposition to tire easily and often have a lack of energy, however, on the other hand (pardon the pun) a wide and highly curved line indicates a person of high energy. Those with a life line that is straight and clings to the edge of their palm are cautious in relationships tending to take things slow, while those with swooping semi-circular lines are enthusiastic and plunge into relationships.

The luck, or fate line as some like to call it, is more complex to read, however, a skilled reader can use it in conjunction with the life line to predict the future.

Although palm reading can provide you with metaphysical insight, one of the best ways to ensure the life you lead is a happy and healthy one is to take positive and consistent action everyday.
