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:

  1. The Line of Life: which circles the base of the thumb.
  2. The Head Line: runs centrally across the palm.
  3. The Heart Line: runs across the palm about halfway between the Head Line and the base of the fingers.
  4. The Line of Destiny: runs centrally upward from the wrist towards the base of the middle finger.
  5. The Line of Success: runs up from the wrist to somewhere below the third finger, running somewhat parallel to the The Line of Destiny.
  6. The Health Line: runs diagonally across the palm from the wrist to the little finger.
  7. The Marriage Lines: One or more lines on the outer edge of upper part of the palm and below the little finger.
