Palm Reading

Palmistry

Here I have created a simple to guide to palm reading (palmistry, Chiromancy).

To get an accurate reading, I recommend using your dominant for the reading.

In this guide I will go over the important aspects of the palm that must be taken into consideration: texture, flexibility, nail shape, finger shape/length, mounts, and lines.

Texture

Be sure to feel both the back and the front of the palm; decide whether it is soft, course, harsh, and if the hand has calluses. Also make note if the hand you are reading is damp or dry.

Soft hand- Soft hands indicate sensitivity and refinement.

Coarse Hands- May mean that the individual has a harsh nature and can be short tempered.

Callused Hands often indicate that the person is a hard worker.

Dry skin can symbolize that the person is concerned with intellectual matters.

If the hand is damp, this could be a sign that the person is lazy.

Flexibility

The flexibility of a hand can be an indicator of how flexible of a nature a person has. For instance, if someone has an extremely stiff hand that may mean that the person has a rigid personality and is set in his/her ways. An easily bendable hand can symbolize that the person is not strong-willed.
