About Palm Astrology
Palm Astrology, also known as Hasta Samudrika Shastra is an art that involves analysing the lines, shapes, and features on a person’s hand to uncover insights about their personality, life path, and potential future. Many intellectuals argue that Palmistry was born in India. Valmiki, a Hindu sage wrote a book on male palmistry which consisted of 567 paragraphs. It is thought that this art spread to China, Tibet, Egypt, and Persia through India. It was considered a sacred art by many ancient cultures and was often used to gain insight into a person’s character, talents, and potential.
Which Hand to Read in Astrology?
A palm reader begins the analysis by examining both hands. The left hand of a right-handed person is considered the ‘birth-hand’ which represents the inherited characteristics of that individual or his subconscious mind, while the right hand of that individual represents his conscious mind which includes characteristics like his identity, flexibility, and his caliber. This condition is the opposite for a left-handed person. In some variations of traditional palmistry, the other hand carries hereditary traits or even past life karma.
Examination of Major Lines
Aristotle had observed, “Lines are not written into the human hand without reason.” The lines have great significance in Palm Astrology and astrology enthusiasts will find this science to be highly fascinating. There may be breaks in them, or they may be short, but at least three of them are there.
(1) The heart line: – The heart line indicates emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and cardiac health.
(2) The headline: – The headline represents a person’s learning style, communication approach, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge.
(3) The lifeline: – The lifeline reflects physical health, general well-being, and major life changes.
(4) The fate line: – The Fate Line indicates the degree to which a person’s life is affected by external circumstances beyond their control. The fate line is also known as the line of destiny.
Interpreting the Shapes & Size of Hands
In addition to the major lines, palmists also examine the shape and size of the hand, the texture of the skin, and the relative lengths of the fingers. For instance, a person with long, slender fingers is often thought to be artistic and creative, while someone with short, stubby fingers may be more practical and down-to-earth. The 4 fingers play an important part in one’s life and the major planets are indicated by the four fingers i.e. Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, and Mercury. The strength and weakness can be indicated by the strength or weakness of the fingers. The basic interpretations are as follows:
Earth Hands:- Solid values and energy, sometimes stubborn, Practical and materialistic.
Air Hands:- Sociable, talkative, and witty, does things in different and radical ways.
Water Hands:- Creative, perceptive, sympathetic, and introverted.
Fire Hands:- Spontaneous, enthusiastic, optimistic, and extrovert.
Evaluation of Mounts
The mounts of your palm refer to the fleshy padded areas that cover each of the joints, as well as the areas along the sides and center of your hand. The designation of each mount corresponds to the attributes most notably related to that figure.
- A high Venus mount indicates a predisposition for hedonism, promiscuity, and the need for instant gratification.
- Under your middle finger is the Saturn mount. A high mount shows you’re stubborn, cynical, and prone to depression.
- The Sun mount is under your ring finger. You’re quick-tempered, extravagant, and prideful if you have a high Sun mount.
- The Mercury mount is under your little finger. If it’s protruding, you talk too much. A low mount means the opposite — you’re shy.
In conclusion, Palmistry is a complex and fascinating art that can provide valuable insights into a person’s character, potential, and life path. It is an ancient practice that has stood the test of time and continues to intrigue and captivate people to this day. Whether you believe in its accuracy or not, exploring the secrets of your own hand can be a fun and enlightening experience that can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world.
