Palmistry
The study of the palms of the hand in relation to personality and significant future
events in life. Palmistry is
divided into a number of groups: Chironomy, the reading of the
character; Chiromancy, reading of the future; and Chirology, which is the reading of
the character and future based events.
Palmistry is not limited to reading just the lines on the
palms of ones hand. The shape, size, outline, color, form,
projections, depressions, lines, crosses and marks of both hands
are taken into consideration. This also includes, fingers, thumbs
and palms.
The main lines of the hand are:
- The Line of Life: which circles the base of
the thumb.
- The Head Line: runs centrally across the
palm.
- The Heart Line: runs across the palm about
halfway between the Head Line and the base of the fingers.
- The Line of Destiny: runs centrally upward
from the wrist towards the base of the middle finger.
- The Line of Success: runs up from the wrist
to somewhere below the third finger, running somewhat
parallel to the The Line of Destiny.
- The Health Line: runs diagonally across the
palm from the wrist to the little finger.
- The Marriage Lines: One or more lines on
the outer edge of upper part of the palm and below the
little finger.
