Palmistry Guide

A palmistry guide is a good tool to use when making an analysis of another person’s hand. This is especially helpful to those who are new or not quite that well versed with palmistry or chiromancy. Beginners will usually use a reference for the steps to make an analysis of the different nuances of this art.

You will need a palm reading diagram in order to identify which parts of the hand is being referred to in this concise guide below. Take note that not all the details will be covered in this concise palmistry guide. Certain items like the interpretation of finger distances, fingernails, fingerprints, condition of the knuckles and thumbs, and further meanings won’t be covered in this concise palmistry guide.

Viewing the Hands

The very first thing that anyone does in palmistry is to view their subject’s hands. Anyone can easily note that some characteristics of our hands will usually stand out compared to others. The palmist will look at both the front and back of the hand and will make the necessary interpretations. The most noticeable characteristics will serve as your guide as you follow this palmistry guide.

Hand Color

The colors of the hands will also need an interpretation. If a subject’s hand is pink then it shows vitality, optimism, and health. On the other hand, a reddish hand is a display of temper or anger. A yellowish looking hand means bitterness and malice and may even be indicative of jaundice.

Brown may mean depression or a state of being unforgiving. Black reveals being proud, vengeful, moody, and a bit of haughtiness. White on the other hand means lifelessness, being apathetic or unmoving. Blue means being self-destructive, isolated, and cold. The next part of this palmistry guide deals with the lines and mounts of the palm.

Hand Divisions

Next, you will then move on to the most commonly displayed means in palmistry, which is reading the lines and other divisions of the hands. The dominant hand puts into detail a person’s current life circumstances, which also includes all the choices made up to the time you read their palm.

The non-dominant hand on the other hand will provide a bit of a background to the said details from the dominant hand. Compare the size of your hands and figure out which one is larger. The slightly larger hand is the dominant or active hand and the smaller one is the non-dominant or recessive hand. The palms provide the details from the perspective of the owner while the back of the hands shows the views of others.

Lines and Mounts

You will then move into the hand lines and the mounts on the palm. You may begin by examining both the major lines and the minor lines of the palms. You should be able to tell if the lines are in their optimum appearance or not. You may go over each line and give your interpretation with the help of a palm reading chart.

A line of the palm is in its optimum appearance if they appear light red, deep, clean, and without any noticeable breaks or other markings. If there is any digression from this appearance then you can tell that there has been some sort of difficulty in that part of the owner’s life that the line represents.

You will need to go over the mounts of the palms as well. You may refer to a chart to figure out where they are and what each mount represents. The mounts may be depressed, elevated, or even flattened. When a mount is elevated it denotes a direct approach to that facet of life represented by the mount. Depressed mounts on the other hand points to a rather indirect approach. If the mount is flat, it shows that that aspect has no influence on the subject.

Examining the Fingers

You will then examine the length and straightness of the fingers. You will also examine the spaces in between the fingers will also be observed. The length of the fingers signifies the individual’s patience and capability regarding certain aspects of life that each finger represents.

The straightness of the fingers denotes straightforwardness in actions and views. The spaces in between the fingers denote will, ego, logic, and common sense, and a person’s inclination to norms. You will need to go over how to interpret the lengths and meaning of each of the fingers of the hand.

Another important part of palm reading is interpreting the distance of the fingers. Interpreting the meaning behind the knuckles and the position of the thumb will also reveal more about your subject. You will have to learn these specific interpretations in further detail since such can’t be all covered in a concise palmistry guide.

Fingernails and Fingerprints

The last phase is to interpret the fingernails and the fingerprints and the fingernails. The color and size of the subject’s nails indicate the oxygen levels in the blood stream and its circulation. When the moons in the nails disappear, it denotes that circulation has weakened. Any deviation from a pinkish color of the nails indicates certain degrees of toxicity. Of course, there are more details about interpreting the fingernails can’t be covered in this concise palmistry guide.

You will also be required to analyze your subject’s fingerprint. The four fundamental dermatoglyphic patterns are the arch, the whorl, the loop, and the triradius. Each of these patterns is rich in detail and each specific marking will add further data to your interpretation. You should look into other references especially regarding the interpretation the different details not covered in this concise palmistry guide.
