I’ve begun work on a new palmistry project. For years I have had my own hands read by professional palm readers.  A few years ago the county of Los Angeles rescinded an ordinance banning the practice of divinatory arts. Now, storefront tarot and palm readers have proliferated.

Recently, I paid $10 to have the palm of my right hand read. A reading of both left and right hand palms would have been $5 additional. After my reading was complete I asked the palmist if I might read her hands. Surprised at first, she consented.

It’s interesting to note the techniques that most professional palmists use. It is considerably different than mine. Almost all professional palm readers are female. This reader began by granting me one wish. After reflection, I replied that I wished greater happiness for her in the coming year.  Gravely, she thanked me.

Examining my open palm the reader began by looking down at it and making simple statements. She stated I would have a long life, that people counted on me, and I had lost someone important to me in the past. A potential move was seen in the coming year.

When I began the palmist’s reading, I examined both hands. She had mixed conic/psychic hand shapes with the fingers working to a point.  Even though the palmist had intuitive hands her fingers were comparatively shorter in length than the palms––a definite leaning towards the practical. Not surprising because this palmist was a professional.

If the thumb is set close to the hand, a private nature is illustrated. If the thumb sets low and far out from the hand an open and talkative temperament is show. The palm reader’s thumb was set very close to the hand, indicating an extremely private personality.

These were the cheirognomic indications from her hands––aspects of the individual shown by the shape and structure of the hands. The lines and mounts on the palms are the chiromantic indicators which are more precise, if mutable, illustrations of events and responses. The left, or passive, hand reflects the inborn temperament, inherent aspects of character. The right, or active, hand is a report card of life played out against the passive hand.

In contrast to most professional palmist’s techniques, my analysis of a subject’s hand includes commentary on specific aspects of the hands, shapes or lines that elicit my remarks. And I point out exactly the indications I am speaking about.

The most noticeable indicator on the palm reader’s hand was the headline, which proceeded out beneath the lifeline below it and the heart line above.  The headline is a sure indicator of the mental state and intellectual growth of an individual.  The palm reader’s headline, on both hands, stopped at the line of Saturn which ran vertically up the palms to the middle finger of Saturn.  This was the first time I’ve encountered such an abrupt stop for the headline.

Since the headline stopped at the line of Saturn, I took this to be a primary indication, a core sign for this individual, and looked for marks on the other lines that would illuminate this.  There was a major break in the lifeline about a quarter way in and the lifeline recommenced a short way up the palm after the break. The palmist’s heart line was a jangle of chains and weaving lines.

Here was indication of a major and life-threatening trauma early in life, which very possibly had a severe effect on her intellectual growth and her romantic and affective relations of the heart.  A leap into the intuitive could result from such a trauma, a retreat from a common outlook on life and the formation of a very inward personality.

After the reading was completed the palm reader confirmed the veracity of what I saw in the lines of her hands. She stated that at the age of 18 she had faced a major challenge that continued until she was 22.  She also replied that she had come to rely on her own intuition to make her life decisions.

I plan on continuing to read the hands of palmists, if permitted.  I expect that some very surprising aspects of palmistry might come to light as a result of this endeavor.
