 Chiromancy - the art of palm divination

The appearance of the hands makes it possible to interpret a person's character and personality and to learn about his fate. The discipline that deals with this is chiromancy, which, freely translated from Greek, simply means divination from the hand.

In 1913, the Congress of Experimental Psychology in Paris recognized chiromancy as a science. And in 1920, a psychology textbook entitled "Hand Reading" was written by philosopher and geneticist Ernest Isseberner-Haldane. The principles contained in his book are still relevant today.

Chiromancy - the basics

The basic premise of chiromancy is that no two hands are the same, even in the same person. Therefore, each hand must be interpreted separately. Palm divination consists of two complementary studies:

CHIROGNOMY - analysis of the general appearance of the hand. It informs about character and inclinations. From the left palm one reads information about a person's temperament, personality and advantages and disadvantages. The right palm, on the other hand, determines a person's attitudes and choices. It is called the palm of free will for a reason.

CHIROLOGY - a detailed analysis of the inside of the palm. It allows you to see into the future. Predictions of fate are made from the hand, which for a person is the guiding hand in writing. The lines on this hand visualize the destiny of a person.  

What do the hands say?

Examination of the hands begins with determining their shape and structure, as well as the condition and color of the skin. The various components indicate specific characteristics of a person.  

Shape and structure of the hand:

square - decisiveness

rectangular - gentleness and forbearance

flat - prudence and stubbornness in beliefs

concave - uncertainty and secretiveness

large - reliability

small - high ambition

wide - industriousness

slender - doing only what one likes and needs to do

muscular - energy and lack of tact

plump - sensitivity and delicacy

bony - dryness and suspiciousness

Skin condition:

smooth - sensitivity

moist - nervousness

wrinkled - timidity

dry - oppressiveness

hard - intelligence

soft - laziness

Skin color:

pink - cheerfulness, good health

red - explosiveness and conflictiveness

yellow - jealousy and hypocrisy, problems with the liver and bile ducts

golden (gently iridescent) - energy and resourcefulness

pale - helplessness

white - forbearance

earthy - stubbornness

blue - obstinacy and bitterness

During the examination, the length and shape of the fingers and thumb are also analyzed, and even the condition of the nails is taken "under the magnifying glass".  

The future written in the hand

The arrangement of lines on the hands is unique, as are the fingerprint lines. During a chirological examination, their length, structure, shape and whether they intersect or overlap are interpreted.

The main lines on the hands:

LIFE line - informs about life energy

HEAD line - describes intellectual abilities

HEART line - reflects emotionality and sentimentality

SATURN line - tells about the course of life, happiness and problems

MERCURY line - describes the state of health

MARRIAGE line - describes the stability of feelings in relationships

That's not all! When analyzing the inside of the hand, a number of auxiliary lines, the so-called hills, named after the planets, and special signs are also taken into account. Only a holistic interpretation allows to know the fate of a person.

Chiromancy is a fascinating, but also vast subject. It is certainly worth exploring in more depth. If you are interested in a detailed analysis of your palm, please contact us.
