the craft youll 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.
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. Ive been reading hands for over thirty years and Im 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 dont 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. Dont be afraid to put in some study time. Even if you dont stick to Palmistry, youll be better for the experience. A refined sense of intuition can help, not only in doing readings, but also in relationships and career.
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.
LessonThree: Fingers
The length and shape of the fingers can reveal a lot about a persons 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!
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 strong personal 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.

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 persons 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 persons life while upward spurs indicate happy periods..

(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 cant 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.

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 youll 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.

Look at the chart to locate these lines.
The Fate line (4) travels vertically up the palm and denotes the persons 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. Childrens lines (11) do not necessarily show the number of children you will have, but the number of children youre capable of parenting. Often people express this parenting need though pets, other peoples children, or by working with kids in their spare time. Marriage lines (12) Like Childrens lines, these do not necessarily show how many marriages youll have but the number of soul mates youll encounter during your life.

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.

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. Ive 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! Jon Saint-Germain
