So often, the ability to communicate depends upon quickness of response.

Timing in the hand is generally most associated with the Life Line...

The palmist Cheiro broke down the art and science of hand reading into two categories. Cheirognomy, he wrote, is the art of reading character through the shapes of the hands and fingers. Cheiromancy is the art of reading the lines in the palm of the hand.

The intuitive or "psychic" hand is usually long and narrow with thin fingers greater in length than the palm itself. There are other indications on the hand which indicate the importance of intuition in an individual's life, notably the Mount of Luna at the base of the palm directly under the little finger.

The lines in the palms of the hands may
be compared to rivers. Like water, the
 palmar lines carry energy, and are
constantly evolving and changing.These
 lines reflect both the energy and its
nature in the life of the individual.

In India the art of palmistry is important and it is closely allied to astrology. The inherent order of the universe is important in Hinduism and every human being is seen as linked through the creative power of life––the Parabrahma––with all other manifestations of the cosmos, including the planets.
