Palm Reading Clues “Now
there are besides these characters in our faces certain mystical
figures in our hands,” wrote Sir Thomas Browne in his Religio Medici.Periodically, I look closely at my hands to take a measure of my growth. I notice smaller lines occurring in greater abundance on both palms. But there are many more lines on my left hand than on my right. This is curious because the left, passive hand is the inherent nature, the private self. The left hand shows temperment and inborn characteristics. The right, dominant hand, is the report card of worldly growth, the indicator of how one has played out those tendencies of character shown by the lines in the left hand. Could it be that from a complexity of thought and emotion in my nature I am achieving simplicity of speech and action? That certainly has been a personal goal of mine in recent years. Comparison of palmar lines in the passive and dominant hands is a useful tool. Look particularly at the Head line, midway between the Life and Love lines. Are there little lines springing up off the Head line and possibly joining the Heart line? This could illustrate intellectual growth that eventually enlarges the ability to love or a relationship that begins with the mind and proceeds to the heart. “Look at the multitude of small lines crossing your palms, or rising or falling from the main lines,” writes Henry Frith in his book Practical Palmistry from 1917. “What caused them? You don’t know! You have done no hard work which you think might have ‘brought them out!’” It’s true, however, that lines can disappear, or modify their course, after first appearing. Another important line to consider in such a self-examination is the line of Saturn, also called the “Career” line and formerly the line of Fate, or Destiny. This line can run straight up the palm from its base, from the Life line directly to the middle finger of Saturn. Or, the line of Saturn can commence at any point in the palm. Saturn is growth, transition and responsibility. It’s presence on the hand with a strong finger, a well-developed mount below the finger and a well-etched line indicates great growth, progress, in both personal and professional areas. If the line of Saturn splits off into two lines and one line heads toward the ring finger of Apollo, an aptitude in art or making money may be shown in addition to personal growth. If the line splits off toward the index finger of Jupiter an aptitude for executive administration and leadership is indicated. Is there a line that crosses the side of the palm up to the little finger of Mercury? That is the line of a great communicator, one who will do well in conveying thoughts and ideas to others. Does this line of Mercury start or stop at the Head line, or the Heart line? These signs reflect the impact of the intellect and the emotions on the ability or willingness to communicate. The lines of Apollo, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury relate to each other. Their greater or lesser presence on either hand is illustrative. Read in combination on both hands, these lines provide a clear picture of vocational aptitude and personal preference. “Learn to know thyself and by this knowledge guide thy paths aright,” writes Frith. “The Hand will guide the student on his way through the wilderness of this world, and teach him wisdom as he goes.”
