In this article,which is a followup on Astrology, I shall indicate how palmistry can foretell the impending dangers of the body and mind.
This is not a tutorial for Palmistry, but for those who are strangers to this, need some introduction to this subject, just enough to know how one goes about predicting the future events, using the information coded in the palm!
The origin of Palmistry, like other old branches of knowledge, is unknown. The history of Palmistry tells us that, Palmistry in some form or the other was in use, since 1000 BC. in India, China, Egypt, Middle east, etc. But the form now used in the east and west differ in some interpretations, but agree in many details of prediction techniques. But we need not worry about this here. I am just outlining the methods of divining the future, or the unknown conditions of the present time.
We need some basic knowledge in Palmistry for our discussion. Some believe that the Palmistry is more sensible than Astrology because, the Palm belongs to the Individual's body, and there could be some connection to the person's life. Whatever be the case, Palmistry has captured the attention of some great thinkers and philosophers from Egypt, Greece, India, China, etc. for over 3000 years. In the 19th Century, four palmists have published their research finding in books, which are considered text books on this subject. They are, Desbarrolles, Comte C. de Saint-Germain, Benham, and the "Cheiro" (assumed the name, Count Louis Hamon). We need some basic knowledge from their works.
Here are two sketches of the right palm, one with lines and the other with mounts.
Some signs commonly found in the palm are used for prediction. In Fig I, the lines, with the age (for timing the events in life ) are marked and the names given. Age is marked only on the Life and Fate lines. The main events in life are predicted by taking both into account together. Some marks on the lines and in other parts of the palm, such as, islands, breaks, grills, stars, tridents, squares, triangles, etc. are also given in the margin. Some are good and some are bad.
Fig II shows mounts and their names. The nature, physical appearance, and abilities, are to be judged from the shape of the hand, the color of the nails, nature of the fingers, the mounts, the lines, and the marks on them. To do this, a good mastery of the subject and experience in interpretation is required.
As examples of how to apply these in palmistry, to predict mental problems, physical problems, accidents in life, progress in life, marriage and children.
Any defect, such as a break, an island, a grill, weak marking, thinning, etc. on the life line indicates bad health and obstacles in life at the age indicated. At the same time, if similar defects also appear on the fate line, the situation is sure to happen.
Small lines going upwards from the life line indicates good events. Similar lines shooting upwards from the fate line indicates good progress in life at the corresponding age.
We conclude here. This is only to indicate the potentialities of this ancient art. Today we have many palmists, around the world and many are pretenders. If one wants to consult a palmist, verify their credentials before consultation.Those who wish to study of this subject, Cheiro's book, Language of the Hand would be a good starting point.
Another question, what if the subject is a left hander? Rule is, read the palm of the most used hand- called the active hand. The other palm gives information about the subject's natural tendencies (genetic). The active hand shows personality modifications caused by environmental influences. The lines and the signs on the active hand's palm changes, where as that of the non-active hand's palm doesn't change. Therefore reading both palms will be of greater advantage.

| Mounts Fig II |
Fig II shows mounts and their names. The nature, physical appearance, and abilities, are to be judged from the shape of the hand, the color of the nails, nature of the fingers, the mounts, the lines, and the marks on them. To do this, a good mastery of the subject and experience in interpretation is required.
As examples of how to apply these in palmistry, to predict mental problems, physical problems, accidents in life, progress in life, marriage and children.
Any defect, such as a break, an island, a grill, weak marking, thinning, etc. on the life line indicates bad health and obstacles in life at the age indicated. At the same time, if similar defects also appear on the fate line, the situation is sure to happen.
Small lines going upwards from the life line indicates good events. Similar lines shooting upwards from the fate line indicates good progress in life at the corresponding age.
A well-marked Head line, without any defects, indicates good mental and physical health, and also a happy successful life. Any island mark on the head line indicates, mental health problems, stress related depression, a physical injury to the head or internal problems in the brain.
The heart line indicates physical condition of the heart or emotional or mental problems.This when noticed on a head line sloping sharply towards the mount of moon indicates a mental problem. But in a good and well formed hand with artistic fingers, good head, heart and life lines indicates great creativity and originality. Great personalities categorized as genius, who create extraordinary works in any field have similar marking in their palms.
The mounts show the personality. Well developed,prominent,well raised mountain,will show the dominant nature of the personality. The shape of the palm,that of the fingers,nails etc are to be carefully considered. Many minute lines appear,and some disappear. This is natural as every one is changing all the time,whether noticed or not. Since lines and signs are changing,as in Astrology,we must conclude that nothing is fixed permanently. It is possible to modify predicted result of predictions by our determined,positive approach to over come the crisis.
We conclude here. This is only to indicate the potentialities of this ancient art. Today we have many palmists, around the world and many are pretenders. If one wants to consult a palmist, verify their credentials before consultation.Those who wish to study of this subject, Cheiro's book, Language of the Hand would be a good starting point.
Appendix
I have given sketch of only the right palm. The same details are also valid for the left palm. Which palm is to be read? The rule followed in some systems is, to read only the right palm for men, and left palm for women. But the popular method is to examine both palms. I too recommend this.Another question, what if the subject is a left hander? Rule is, read the palm of the most used hand- called the active hand. The other palm gives information about the subject's natural tendencies (genetic). The active hand shows personality modifications caused by environmental influences. The lines and the signs on the active hand's palm changes, where as that of the non-active hand's palm doesn't change. Therefore reading both palms will be of greater advantage.
