Your Life Is In Your Hands

A brief introduction to the classic art of reading hands



2

The RomanyTrade

Palmistry is the art of reading

character through the shape of the

hands, the formation of the mounts

of the hands, fingers, and, most

importantly, the lines and spurs in the palm. Palmistry has enjoyed a fascinating

history. It is believed to have been practiced in ancient India and China. Great

heroes and Spiritual leaders (such as the Buddha!) have been recognized though

Palmistry.

The lines of the hand act as a sort of circuit board of the brain.

Neurosurgeons tell us that these lines are caused by nerve endings in the palm.

These nerves stem from the middle brain, where the two hemispheres join.

Therefore, every thought you have, conscious and unconscious, is reflected insome way on your hand! As your life and attitudes change, the lines of your hand

will reflect the new patterns of your life. This can be observed by studying your

own hand closely. You may observe, over time, that your life line (the line that

wraps around your thumb and across your palm) creep across your palm as you

experience dramatic changes in your life-style. The other lines of the hand

change as well. It is important to remember that the lines change as your attitudes

change, not vice-versa. The tail does not wag the dog!

Generally, if you are reading this book, you have received a quick reading

from me and (hopefully) know how compelling a palm reading can be. This book

does not pretend to be an exhaustive treatise; if you want a more in-depth study of



3

the craft you’ll have to read my trilogy Runic Palmistry, Karmic Palmistry and

Erotic Palmistry, published by Llewellyn Publications and available through me

or any bookstore. However, this booklet will familiarize you with the basic

meanings of the geometry of the hand and get you started on the path. .

Palmistry is as much art as science; and art can not be taught. If you

resolve at the outset to be a good and ethical reader the rest will naturally follow.

May God bless you! Enjoy.

Lesson One:Getting Started

It is important that you have a set

system from which to read; otherwise

you’ll get confused by the complexity of

the first palm you come across and become

discouraged. My system is simple and

easy to remember. I start with the shape of the hand, analyze the length of the

fingers, note any obvious mounts or valleys, comment on the heart line, the

headline, the lifeline, and the thumb. Then I move on to a more detailed analysis

of spurs, islands, geometric shapes, and other complexities that are beyond the

scope of this book. Actually, working from the shape of the hand and the lines

alone, you can give an excellent reading.

To obtain practice material, ask your friends to make photocopies or inkprints

of their hands for you to study. Some of your acquaintances will think you’re off

your rocker, but you’ll find just as many who are interested in what their hands



4

tell you.

Collect several hand prints before you get started, and notice the amazing

variety of different hand types. Some palmistry systems list as many as thirty

different categories based on hand shapes alone. Then, start learning the shapes

of the hand as discussed in Lesson Two. This alone will tell you a lot about the

personality of the individual. Move on to finger length and mounts, then lastly,

the lines. Do not try to learn everything at once; to become even an average palm

reader takes months or even years. I’ve been reading hands for over thirty years

and I’m still learning.

Finally, I must stress the importance of developing your intuition. Your sensitivity and intuition contribute to the overall depth of the reading. You don’t

have to be psychic to read palms, but the intuitive ability gives you the insights

and examples that bring life to your readings. You must give each reading the

personal attention that will make the experience memorable, dramatic and

eclectic. The best readers have learned that there is more than a little ‘show

business’ involved in the craft as well as intuition.

There are some excellent books at the library that will teach you to develop

your intuition, or you may want to obtain a copy of my primer You Are Psychic.

Don’t be afraid to put in some study time. Even if you don’t stick to Palmistry,

you’ll be better for the experience. A refined sense of intuition can help, not only

in doing readings, but also in relationships and career.

Lesson Two :The ShapesHands fall into four categories, although some palmistry books list more.

They are:

The Action Hand

The Action Hand has a round, curved palm and widespread, short fingers.

This gives the owner a quick, active mind, and a penchant for telling the exact

truth. Because of this, they can be very blunt at times. Action hand people hate to

wait for something to happen, and can be impatient with people who take all day

to make up their minds. They prefer mobility, decisive action and freedom of

expression. Action hands are very protective of their loved ones.



6

The Sensitive HandThe Sensitive Hand is long and thin, and

usually pale in color. It can sometimes be a

little cold and clammy. It belongs to people

who feel things very deeply , and who can

hold onto hurt long after the events that

caused the hurt have been forgotten by

everyone else. They are also very intuitive

by nature and can arrive at quick answers

without very much reflection. Extreme

types may have a lot of wrinkles, since they

feel things so deeply. Deeply psychic and

empathic, they are nature’s counselors and therapists.

The AnalyticalHand

The Analytical hand is rectangular with

long, smooth fingers. They tend to be a

little distant and aloof, and need space

around them. Since they can be very set in

their ways, they tend to become a little

impatient when other people are stubborn.

They like to have all the facts before

making up their minds, and so may take

all day to do so.



7

The EmotionalHand

The Emotional Hand is long and

rectangular, with prominent knuckles and

thumb. These individuals have a great

love for art and poetry, and love romance

and drama. They tend to see the best in

people, and are a little idealistic. They

make dynamic and attentive lovers.

Usually, these folks are interested in

psychology and philosophy, and are

possessed of a great many interesting bits of trivia about virtually every subject.

Now that you think you’ve got it licked, let me tell you that most people have

blended hand types. You will often see one type of fingers on another type of

palm. This gives the individual a mix of the characteristics of each, and here is

where you have vast leeway in using your ‘horse sense’ to figure out this

particular person. Remember: Intuition!



8

LessonThree:Fingers

The length and shape of the

fingers can reveal a lot about a

person’s mindset. Basically and

very generally people with long

fingers tend to be open minded and flexible, but can be a bit of a pain in the neck,

because of their perfectionism.

People with short fingers , however, can be very stubborn and impatient.

They want answers right now, and they like very specific answers to specific

questions!

Length of Individual Fingers

The relative length of each individual finger can tell you about the person’s

emotional quirks.

• A long forefinger (the finger of Jupiter) denotes an aggressive, bossy

person.

• A long second finger (the finger of Saturn) represents someone whose

conscience is very strong.

• A long ring finger (the finger of Apollo) Represents someone who is an

idealist, but with the ability to motivate others through their strongpersonal magnetism.

• A long little finger (the finger of Mercury) denotes someone with a natural

fluency with words, a born salesman. An extremely long Mercury denotes

someone who bends the truth to suit himself, so they may not always

necessarily mean what they say.

Lesson Four: The LinesAt last! The lines of the hand are what gives palmists the most material for

interpretation and analysis. The interpretation of the palm lines is called

Chiromancy.

First, familiarize yourself with this chart:

1. Life line2. Head line3. Heart line4. Fate Line

5. Sun Line6. Mercury line7. Girdle of Venus

8. Ring of Solomon

9. Ring of Saturn10. Medical Stigmata

11. Children’s lines12. Marriage lines13. Bow of intuition

14. Via Lascivia15. Mars line

16. Sympathy lines17. Family Ring18. Bracelets



10

There are three major lines to start with, but as you can see from the chart,

there are many more lines you can use to ‘fine tune’ your reading.

(1) The Lifeline

The Life line is the line that wraps around your thumb and ends at the wrist.

Contrary to legend, the length of the Life line cannot and should not be used to

predict the life span of the individual. This is not accurate and can do absolutely

no good. The Life line gives us a good idea of the person’s Life energies, and

how directed the person is. As you read a lot of palms, you will learn to

distinguish the various energy levels between these two extremes.

• A shallow Life line means that the life energies are weak, and the person

tends to be tired a lot. He may tend to procrastinate and put off unpleasant

necessities.

• A strong Life line means that the person is vital and energetic; his energies

are high and very focused. He is very directed and goal-oriented.

• A Life line that hugs in close to the thumb denotes a ‘homebody’; home

and hearth will mean a great deal to them.

• A line that sweeps out across the hand denotes someone with an ‘itchy

foot’- they will travel a lot because they tend to be restless. Once again,

there are many shades of grey in this area; you will find very few ‘pure’

palms.

Spurs and lines shooting off from the Life line can speak volumes. Spurs

that shoot toward the wrist indicate down periods in the person’s life while

upward spurs indicate happy periods..



11

(2) The Head line

The Head line is the line that starts at the side of your hand, just above the

Life line, and travels horizontally across the palm. Where the Head line ends is of

the utmost importance. The Head line denotes patterns of thought and tells us if a

person is logical or imaginative in his or her approach to problem solving.

• A Head line that is straight and points to the heel of the hand belongs to a

practical, logical person. They prefer a direct approach to life and tend to

see things in terms of black and white. They can be somewhat of a

perfectionist.• A Head line that curves in toward the wrist denotes a person who is

imaginative and creative in their approach to life and problem solving.

• The curvier the line, the more imaginative the approach. If the line

travels far down into the heel of the hand, you have someone who is a bit

of a dreamer, and perhaps unrealistic in his or her ambitions.

(3) The Line of Heart

The Heart line is the most important line in the hand, because most people

want to know about their romantic prospects. You could make a good living

simply by reading the Heart Line alone!

Remember, I do not believe that palmistry can pinpoint future events at

least not without taking into account the effects of karma. You can’t predict the

exact date when someone will meet the 'person of their dreams' by studying their

Heart Line, for example. However, if you can get a feel for how the person thinks

and for some of their emotional strategies, and you know a lot about human

behavior patterns, you can make a few good, shrewd guesses about their future. A



12

little intuition and Clairvoyant ability helps, too.

The Heart line starts at the edge of the hand above the Head line, and travels

across the hand toward the thumb side. Where the Heart line ends is important.

• If the Heart Line ends under the first finger, it denotes someone who is

very romantic, and who may put partners on a pedestal. They may be the

type who ‘fall in love with Love’!

• A Heart line that ends under the second finger denotes someone who is

flamboyant and dynamic in their affections. Watch out! You may get your

head hugged off. People with this line love to show their affection and

receive great satisfaction from helping others.• A Heart line that travels up into the second finger is very rare and known

as the Gift of Mercy. These people are capable of great, loving sacrifice in

the service of others. Mother Theresa had this formation, and that should

tell you a lot.

• When the Heart line ends between the first and second finger, you have a

good, balanced approach to love. You are able to give and receive

affection appropriately, and do not get so caught up in another that you

lose sight of yourself. This also indicates a healthy enjoyment of physical

love.

Very few people have perfect balance, so you’ll notice little forks, islands,

and spurs shooting off, denoting hard lessons learned in the school of Love.

Sometimes, you will notice two heart lines. This is known as the Girdle of Venus

(7), which can denote extreme sensitivity, or as reported in medical journals,

circulatory problems. I have nailed dyed-in-the-wool skeptics hard with this one,

when I pointed out that they had circulatory problems in the recent past. ‘Not too

serious, as you are still here today.’



13

Other Lines:

Look at the chart to locate these lines.

• The Fate line (4) travels vertically up the palm and denotes the person’s

ambitions. Basically, a long, straight Fate line indicates someone with

good drive and focus. A splintered, forked, or interrupted line denotes

uncertainty in the life path. The person could be at odds with himself.

• The Sun Line (5) is a good line to have, as it denotes success in your

endeavors. It can indicate fame, popularity, and attachment to an

expensive life-style. There are some very complicated ways to tell exactly

what endeavors are most propitious, but that is for advanced readers.

• The Mercury line (6) indicates amazing communication skills. People

with this line are natural salespeople, very chatty and charming, and

communicate well with others.

• The Girdle of Venus (7) has already been discussed. It indicates extreme

emotional sensitivity and empathy.

•

The Ring of Solomon (8) denotes Psychic ability and wisdom.• The Ring of Saturn (9) shows an Old Soul, someone who is wise beyond

his or her years. It can indicate a natural teacher or spiritual leader.

• The Medical Stigmata (10) indicates a natural healer.

• Children’s lines (11) do not necessarily show the number of children you

will have, but the number of children you’re capable of parenting. Often

people express this parenting need though pets, other people’s children, or

by working with kids in their spare time.

• Marriage lines (12) Like Children’s lines, these do not necessarily show

how many marriages you’ll have but the number of soul mates you’ll

encounter during your life.



14

• The Bow of Intuition (13) is self-explanatory. This is a sign of a naturally

strong sense of intuition.

• The Via Lascivia (14) gives the owner an above-average interest in sex.

He or she may be quite 'kinky.’

• The Mars line (15) Increased success, assertiveness and competitive

skills. Some schools of palmistry associate this sign with the presence of a

protective spirit.

• Sympathy lines (16 ) give a person a sympathetic, understanding outlook.

• The Family Ring (17) shows that the person has a great love for home and

hearth, and that family will always be important.• Bracelets or Rachettes (18) act as extra Life lines and add strength,

alertness and virility to the person as they advance in years.



15

Lesson Five:Putting it All

Together

It’s rarely necessary or desirable in a quick

reading to tell everyone everything you see. A

five-minute reading is usually enough to deliver

a fairly detailed “quicky” analysis. Long,

detailed readings can become blurred in the

individual's recollection. When you first start

reading palms, you may get so carried away

that you want to do long readings, but there is a

lot to be said for the short and sweet approach.

If you do other sorts of Psychic readings, such as Tarot cards or Runestones,

you can use quick palm readings to add variety to your readings. A palm readingfor entertainment (such as you might deliver at a party, for example) shouldn’t go

over ten to fifteen minutes.

Also, it is important to be positive. People tend to take readings very

seriously, and often will act on what you say. You must love people and love your

work to do this, and you have a grave responsibility. Remember, we are not

qualified to offer medical, legal, or financial advice. Furthermore, nobody wants a

‘doom and gloom’ prophet at the party; if you see terribly negative stuff, be very

imaginative in how you couch your words. Try to always end on an upbeat note.

Good luck!

Finally...

This book should serve to give you a good start on becoming a palmist. As

your interest grows, and as you outgrow this book, you can increase your

knowledge by moving to other, more advanced, books. I’ve included a reading

list at the end. You may want to study a little about Astrology as well, as many of

the personality characteristics found in the Zodiac will give you some insight into

the possible connections with Palmistry.

I learn something new about Palm Reading nearly every day of my life, and I

try to affect people in a positive manner with what I know. May you always find

the Higher Path!
