Presented by: Shanda

September 2010/October 2010
Palmistry is chiefly concerned with the mounts of the palm, the lines on the mounts, and the lines interlacing the palm. The left hand supposedly reflects inbred and the right hand acquired characteristics. Each mount signifies a certain personality trait. The mount of Jupiter denotes honor and a happy

disposition; of Saturn, prudence and therefore success; of Apollo, appreciation of beauty; of Mercury, scientific, industrial, and commercial interests; of Mars, courage; of the Moon, a dreamy disposition; and of Venus, an amorous nature. The four most important lines represent life, intelligence, the heart or

sensation and personal fortune. Other markings of the palm corroborate or modify by their positions the deductions made from the mounts and lines.
Palm readings can reveal amazing insights into your character, love life, health, talents, career abilities, fate plus other important issues. Things like who you are, romance, adventure, old forgotten memories, healing your spirit, personal growth, renewal, self-understanding from within, overcome unproductive

thinking, allow innovative thinking, lose old habits, recognize mind traps, avoid those traps, overcome fears about change, discover opportunities you never knew existed, be free of depression, anxiety, stress, are some concerns to solve with those palm reading revelations. Palm reading lectures show evidence that allow evaluating consequences about taking various actions, thus revealing someone’s own best way to succeed. By example, with palmistry revelations you can help yourself making career and relationship choices because an understanding of personal career opportunities and for happiness concerning relationships comes out.

LINES

The Lines in the hands may be grouped into the following categories: The Primary Lines, The Secondary Lines and The Minor Lines. There are three Primary Lines in the hands: The life line, the head line and the heart line. Secondary lines include: The line of Fate/Saturn, the line of Sun/Apollo and the line of Liver/Mercury. Finally, the Minor Lines in the hands are: the Girdle of Venus, ring of Solomon, ring of Saturn, medical stigmata, children’s lines, marriage lines, bow of intuition, Via Lascivia, the line of Mars, sympathy lines, family ring and bracelets or racettes.

Deep, clear and smooth lines are best, and indicate that one's life would be positive in the area of life represented by the line. With such lines, success should be accomplished, accompanied with happiness and contentment. Breaks, gaps, islands, crosses, spots and cross-bars indicate possible problems or events at whichever points these marks appear. Broad, fuzzy or chain-type lines indicate a negative outlook, a dissipation of energy and low morale. The minor lines and the influence lines will modify what the main lines promise.

MINOR LINES

The Girdle of Venus is that broken or unbroken kind of semicircle rising between the first and second fingers and finishing between the third and fourth.

• When the girdle goes over the side of the hand and comes in contact with the line of marriage, the happiness of the marriage will be marked through the peculiarities of the temperament. Such subjects are peculiarly exciting, and hard to live with. If on a man's hand, that man would want as many virtues in a wife as there are stars in the universe.

8.) The Ring of Solomon (encircles base of index finger) – psychic ability and wisdom

The Ring of Solomon is also one of these strange marks of mysticism and occultism, but in this latter case, owing probably to the qualities signified by the Mount of Jupiter, its possessor will aim at having the power of a master or an adept in such subjects

9.) The Ring of Saturn (encircles base of middle finger) – isolation

What is called the Ring of Saturn is very seldom found, and it is by no means a good sign to have. It is also a semi-circular line, but found lying across the Mount of Saturn.

These people seem cut off from their fellow beings in some peculiar and extraordinary way. They are isolated and alone, and they appear to realize their lonely position keenly. They are gloomy, morbid, and
Saturnine in character. They seldom marry, and when they do it is always a ghastly failure. They are terribly obstinate and headstrong in all their actions, they resent the least advice or interference in their plans. Their lives generally close in suffering, poverty, or by some sinister tragedy or fatality.

10.) Medical Stigmata (vertical lines on the mount of Mercury – little finger) – natural healer

This indicates a instinctive desire to help and heal others, you should check the other hand to see if is present in each, as with most lines, as this will tell you a lot about this personal trait. The medical stigmata does not represent your health or medical history.

11.) Children’s lines (vertical lines below little finger) – children

These lines don’t necessarily indicate the number of children you will have but, instead, the number of children you are capable of parenting. Often this is expressed through pets, the children of other people or working with children in some way. Children lines commonly root out of marriage lines indicating births that are a result of corresponding relationships

12.) Marriage lines (short, horizontal lines on side of hand under little finger) – relationships

Like children’s lines, this doesn’t necessarily show how many marriages you’ll have but does indicate the number of soul mates you will meet in this lifetime. Also called love lines, these lines indicate the number of significant relationships there are in a lifetime. Sometimes it is easier to see these lines if you bend your pinky slightly toward your palm to see the line creases. The line or lines of marriage may rise on the side of the hand or be only marked across the front of the Mount of Mercury. From a marriage point of view - line on the Mount of Mercury gives a very fair idea of the age at the time of marriage may also be obtained. Only long lines relate to marriages, the short ones to deep affection or marriage.

Further clarification and information on the variations found in Love Lines:
• When marriage line lies close to the line of heart, the union will be early, about fourteen to twenty.

• When it is three-quarters up the mount, twenty - eight to thirty -five and so on
13.) The Bow of Intuition (runs parallel to life line on either side) – naturally strong sense of intuition

Intuition lines generally shadow the life line because intuition indicates keen insight into one's life. The more prominent this line appears (deeper, longer) the stronger the indication that psychic ability is a dominant characteristic for the person. Intuition lines are not the easiest to detect, and may be absent entirely

14.) The Via Lascivia – above-average interest in sex, may be “kinky”

This is a strange mark which takes the form also somewhat of a semi-circle, but in this case it connects the Mount of the Moon with that of Venus, or it may simply run off the hand from the lower part of

the Mount of Luna into the wrist.

The first-mentioned formation indicates unbridled sensuality and passion, and where it cuts through the Line of Life it indicates death, but one usually brought about in connection with the licentiousness that it

denotes. This Line running from the Mount of the Moon into the wrist denotes the most sensual dreams, desires, and imaginings, but, unlike the other class, it is usually only dangerous to the person on whose hand it is found.

In both cases there is generally a tendency towards the taking of drugs such as opium, morphine, especially when the hand is noted to be soft, full, and flabby. With a firm hard palm the subject usually indulges in excessive drinking fits, and when under drink seems to have no control whatever.

15.) The Mars Line (parallels life line on side closest to thumb) – Indicates increased success, assertiveness and competitive skills. Some say it also means the presence of a protective spirit.

What is called the Line of Mars is that line that is found only on some hands encircling the Mount of Venus and inside the Line of Life. This Line, which rises on the Mount of Mars, from which it derives its name, when found clear and strong appears to back up and reinforce the Line of Life. It indicates great vitality, power of resistance to illness and disease, and is not found on all hands. It is an excellent sign on the hands of soldiers, or in connection with all persons who follow a dangerous calling.

All breaks or bad marks indicated on the Line of Life are minimized on the hands that have this Inner Life Line, or Line of Mars. As its name implies, in character it denotes a robust and rather fighting disposition, a person naturally inclined to rush into dangers and quarrels, and if deeply marked and reddish in color it increases all indications of accidents and dangers shown on other parts of the hand.

16.) Sympathy Lines (horizontal lines under index finger) – sympathetic, understanding outlook

This person has a caring nature and are usually found on the hands of doctors, nurses and people who feel a strong need to alleviate the pain and suffering in others.

17.) Family ring (encircles base of thumb) – shows a great love of home and hearth where family is always important

A Family Ring (or Ring of Venus) is often a serious of cuts or chains which circles around the base of the thumb, below the third phalange. If the line is strong, there will certainly be an obvious loyalty towards relationships and the family. If the line is faint, there is likely to be a weaker family bond. A line which gets weaker shows a tie which has reduced over the years.

18.) Bracelets/Racettes (lines at the bend of inner wrist) – add strength and alertness as you age

It is most common to have two or three bracelets. Although, some people have only one bracelet, and having four or more is possible. More bracelets indicate a longer life, broken bracelets indicate ill health or lowering of chi energies.

MOUNTS

The Mounts of the Hands are those fleshy cushions found at the base of the four fingers and the thumb as well as at the percussion of the hand.  They are named after Greed/Roman Gods.  The presence of the Mounts in the palm cannot be attributed to the development of muscular growth of  a person but due to the existence of hundreds of muscular terminals distributed all over the human palm and especially over and within the Mounts.

Transverse Marks - A transverse line marking on the hand is an evil sign that nullifies the positive qualities of any mount it is found upon. Though a person may have the markings of a heroic mount, these qualities can be reduced if it has a score of transverse lines. If transverse lines are found across the Mount of Mercury, it indicates that the bearer will use his/her talents of diplomacy and tact for deceit and guile for ill gains.


Vertical Marks - Vertical markings are a benefic sign. If found on the mounts, they heighten its positive qualities and assist in annulling any poor signs also located on the mount. They are the opposites of the aforementioned transverse markings. Vertical markings upon the Mount of Mercury will bring a great deal of tact and loquaciousness to serve for pleasant communication and friendship. It will emphasize science and business skills. Two vertical lines on the Mount of Mercury are often the symbol of a Doctor or Biologist.


The Trident - The trident is a most propitious marking wherever it may lie. If it rises from a line, it will expound the qualities of that line and draw additional power from the mounts or lines that branch on either side head towards. If found on a mount, the trident carries with it great flourish of the properties of that mount in conjunction with its neighboring mounts. The trident is such a powerful symbol that it eclipses the star in beneficence.



The Tassel - A tasseled line can oft be found at the end of the lifeline; as the individual weakens and deteriorates with age, so too does the line. Such is the case with the Line of Head, where it denotes a weakening of mental clarity and approaching senility or old age ; the Line of Heart with a deteriorating heart condition or emotional trauma that has left the individual very feeble and unstable.


Drooping Offshoots - Lines that droop from any larger line indicate a disappointment in life. Along the Line of Heart, it denotes disappointment in love or an unfortunate event in which the individual became too emotionally involved. Along the Line of Head, it may signify the obstruction of one's ideals or disillusionment


Rising Offshoots - Rising offshoots are the inverse of the drooping offshoots. They represent periods of sudden inspiration, fruition, and happiness. It will draw upon the qualities of the mount that it is directed to. For example, an offshoot springing from the Line of Head and nearing the Mount of Mercury is a sign of scientific prowess--perhaps an invention, or a discovery, or a synthesis of concepts that have long been drifting through the individual's mind, but had hitherto been dissociated.


Sister Lines - Sister lines support the line along which they follow. Some sister lines are quite common, such as the Line of Mars, which accompanies and strengthens the constitution denoted by the Line of Life; The Line of Apollo is a sister line for the Line of Fate, as it serves a similar function and accentuates the fulfillment one feels in the course of their career. Sister lines protect and heal lines that are broken, crooked, frayed, or side-by-side. Lest a line exist with several negative markings, sister lines will be the guiding hand that shall shield the bearer from the brunt of life's assaults.
