Understanding The Meaning of Palmistry and Its 3 Branches

Palmistry is the ancient practice of interpreting the past, present and future aspects of an individual’s life by reading one’s palms. A lot of people seek the help of knowledgeable palm readers to learn about future possibilities and improve the professional and personal aspects of their lives including career, family, success, fame and money. Palmistry involves a thorough study of the way in which palm lines interact with each other in order to predict future.

Palmistry remains a dynamic practice since it involves the examination of the lines of the palm, which exist since the birth of the individual and even develop over a period of time. Palm readers are experts in interpreting different meanings associated with different lines of palmistry, skin textures and shape and sizes of hands. Lines of the palms might vary from person to person and can be thick or thin, small or large.

Depending on different age and gender groups, palm readers take both the hands into account while interpreting the future. The lines on the left hand represent an individual’s inherent traits. The lines on the right palm reflect the traits developed over time with accomplishments, failures, changing fortunes or other such factors.

Is It Very Easy To Read Palms Correctly?

Palm reading is not an easy task. In fact, it remains one of the most difficult of religious services since the practitioner has to accurately predict our thinking patterns and tendencies by studying different lines, mounts and hand textures.

No two hands are the same. Each and every palm has a different story to offer. One can really imagine the kind of expertise a practitioner needs to have in order to enlighten individuals about the impact of their behavioral patterns on their life cycles and help them improve.

The Branches of Palmistry

The three categories of palmistry are as follows:

• Chiromancy: It entails the interpretations of palm inscriptions. It includes the study of lines that had formed during birth and makes for one of the oldest palmistry practices. Several practitioners believe that this is the most reliable method of studying personality traits of individuals.

•  Chirognomy: This refers to the practice of deducing traits of an individual by studying his/her hand, fingers, finger nails and the texture of the skin. Chirognomy takes the study of “mounts” into account while interpreting the inherent traits and behavioral patterns of individuals and foretelling their future experiences and choices. Mounts are the fleshy lumps that are found at the end of the fingers. Practitioners believe that a larger mount reflects stronger characteristic trait. Accordingly to this branch of palm reading the mount of Venus relates to love, the mount of Jupiter to pride, the mount of Apollo with artistic talent, the mount of moon with imagination and so on.

•  Dermatoglyphics: It refers to the study of fingerprints. Dermatoglyphics experts can interpret human personality, choices and aspirations by reading the fingerprints or the ridge-like formations on palms. It is possible to trace a child’s personality when he is still in the mother’s womb. The fingerprints bear a major reflection of your personality. It is possible to analyze a person’s personality through his fingerprints and help him expand his potential for future.

The need for different religious services exists across the globe. Palmistry is one such field which pulls people from all walks of life, be it India or abroad.
