Skin Texture
Here are some magnified skin ridges. Ridges look like the ridges of a ploughed field, making patterns on the surface of the skin. Skin ridges are widely known for the fingerprint patterns they create, but they also create patterns all over the palms.   More >>>

Hand Consistency
The consistency of hands allows you to discover more about energy levels. How active are you? Can you keep going twenty four hours a day or do you like to take things a little easier. More >>>

The Mounts
The Mounts are raised areas within your palm which, like astrology, are linked with the qualities associated with the planets. The brain transmits messages through the nervous system, which are picked up by the millions of nerve endings within the palms.  More >>>

Finger Length
Are you a quick thinking person, summing up situations in a flash, or are your thought processes more careful and detailed?  Did you know that the length of your fingers in relation to your palm length gives the hand analyst some information about how speedy your thought processes are?   More >>>

Finger Shape
A hand analyst will also look at the smoothness of your fingers. Some fingers have incredibly smooth contours while others have a distinctly knotty look around the knuckles. These knotty knuckles are discovered when you try to push a ring over the top of the knot, only to find the ring is still loose when in place, but also impossible to pull off again without the help of a little soapy water.  More >>>

Finger Prints
Loop fingerprints reveal people who are versatile and adaptable and who have lively, enquiring minds. These people are happy to exchange ideas with others.  More >>>

The Nails
Broad and square nails reveal an easy going, calm, honest, patient, upright, balanced, and broad minded person  More >>>

The Thumb
The thumb is a very important feature of the hands because without it, no matter what qualities are found in the rest of the hand, there would be no driving force to push those qualities forward, nor any logic or reasoning behind that willpower.  More >>>

The Elements
Hand analysts use one or more of several systems to quickly assess an overall personality type. One of these systems is based on the four elements – earth, fire, air and water. This quick assessment allows the analyst to draw a sketchy outline of the general personality type from which he can later build. More >>>

The Life Line
The life line is one of the most important lines in the palm, revealing among other things, your physical constitution and your current state of health.  The life line originates at a point above the thumb between the Mars and Jupiter mounts (see section on Mounts) and curves downwards following the outer edges of both mounts encircling the ball of the thumb. The Life line basically represents the quality of life in terms of physical well being.  More >>>

The Head Line
The Head line represents the mental constitution, so that energy running through this line reveals the way a person things, his brain power, concentration and memory, intellect and reasoning ability. More >>>

The Heart Line
When considering the feelings and emotions, the line to look for is the Heart Line.  This line crosses the palm below the fingers, starting on the edge of the palm below the little finger and crossing the palm to end anywhere beneath any of the other fingers. The heart line can be straight, or it can curve smoothly or deeply upwards.  More>>>

The Fate Line
The line running from the base of the palm up towards the Saturn (middle) finger has been named the Saturn line, the line of fate or the line of Destiny. Whichever name is used, it will always be found in the middle of the palm pointing in the direction of Saturn.  More >>>

The Apollo Line
The Apollo line, also named the Sun line, may originate from any point in the palm, heading towards the Apollo Mount. This line is not often found in it’s true form, that is, running from the palmar base to the Apollo mount, but is more often found starting higher up the palm, sometimes only appearing on the actual Apollo mount itself. In many hands the line is missing completely.  More >>>

Droplets
The ability to use the hands in a capable way can be further enhanced by the appearance of ‘droplets’ on the underside of the fingertips.  More >>>

The Teacher's Square
This is a square formation of lines appearing on the Jupiter mount. Whenever seen, it indicates the ability to impart knowledge.  More >>>

Travel Lines
When someone asks me if they are likely to travel, my first reply is likely to be ‘Do you want to travel? The very fact the question has been asked hints that the person may have already considered travel, or is keen to travel and broaden their horizons. More >>>

Marriage Lines
When looking into your own hands, remember that palmists look for many signs within the hands, gradually building up clues about the person and his life. A palmist will never, ever, make a statement by looking at one sign standing alone. It is also important to remember that marriage is a contract made on paper and as such, is not recognised by the hands! More >>>

Children's Lines
Palmists are divided in their view about the accuracy of child lines within the palms. Some palmists insist that child lines have always proved to be accurate, while others will say they have not found them to be sufficiently accurate to warrant mentioning them. More >>>

Girdle of Venus
The Girdle of Venus is situated above the heart line, forming a complete or fragmented ring below the Saturn and Apollo fingers. This line frequently causes confusion to the inexperienced eye as it can appear in many forms.  More >>>

Via Lascivia
As seen from its Latin name, the Via Lascivia was traditionally associated with lust, drunkenness and debauchery! Running across the Luna mount at the base of the palm and originating on the percussive edge, it flows in towards the palm in the direction of Venus. More >>>
