In a palm reading, each of these features is said to signify something specific about your personality at least according to those who believe in it. Skeptics insist that palm reading — like tarot and astrology — amounts to little more than guesswork. In order to understand any of what may be written on your hands, though, you need to be able to navigate their topography. Below, the basics. In palmistry, every hand is said to fit into a particular shape, aligned with one of the four elements: earth, air, fire, or water.
Earth hands , according to Packard, feature square palms with fewer lines, albeit deep ones. Above all, they like to work. Fire-handed people have lots of deep lines on their palms, Packard explains, and tend to be highly creative — more attuned to fun than to details. Interested in brushing up on the divination practice of palm reading, or palmistry? Learning how to read palms takes practice, but our palm reading guide from palmistry expert Kay Packard makes the art of chiromancy look easy.
First things first. Pick a hand—but not just any hand. For insight into your work life and how you present yourself to the world, focus on your dominant hand. To examine personal relationships, dreams, and emotional struggles, look at the other hand. Next, familiarize yourself with the hand shapes that correspond with the four elements : fire, earth, air, and water. After mastering hand shapes and their associated elements, you can get to know the mounts and plains of the hand, regions that correspond with major areas of life, as well as the lines and creases that tell a story about the future.
Let's take a look at each of these. There are four basic hand shapes within palmistry, each connected with a different element and its associated traits. Although the four elements are also embedded in astrology , your hand type may not correspond with your astrological profile. For instance, although someone may be a fiery Aries , the shape of their hand may be that of a water sign, revealing nuanced insight into the complexities of their personality.
Earth hands are identified by square palms and short fingers. These hands are often firm, solid, and fleshy. Individuals with earth hands are known to be practical, logical, and grounded. While secure and reliable, they can become too consumed with their immediate realities, which can ultimately hinder long-term planning and achievement.
You can tell a fire hand by its long palm and short fingers. These hands often have distinctive creases and defined mounds read on for more about those. Individuals with fire hands are known to be passionate, confident, and industrious.
They're driven by their desires and on a bad day they may lack tactfulness and empathy. Air hands have square palms and long fingers and are often boney, with protruding knuckles and spindly fingers. This hand type signifies intellectually curious individuals with innate analytical abilities and communication skills.
Those with air hands are easily distracted and, if not stimulated, can become anxious or edgy. Water hands are distinguished by their long palms and long fingers. These hands are often soft to the touch and a bit clammy, with an overall narrow appearance. Those who have them are in tune with their emotions, intuition, and psychic ability.
Fueled by compassion and imagination, these individuals are often creatives. They're also extremely sensitive and their feelings are easily hurt, causing undesirable interpersonal stress. After you've identified the hand type, begin observing the palm's natural topography. Fleshy areas called mounts and plains are related to different life themes.
The classic mounts correspond with the seven classical planets within astrology : Apollo the sun , Luna the moon , Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Rounded, slightly elevated mounts reveal attributes that are balanced and well-proportioned, while sunken mounts expose an individual's "blind spots" or underdeveloped qualities. Lastly, extremely prominent mounts reveal dominant characteristics that may be exaggerated or overemphasized.
Located at the base of the index finger and above the Mount of Inner Mars , the Mount of Jupiter symbolizes confidence, ambition, and leadership. It reveals a connection to the spiritual realm, along with divine aptitudes. The Mount of Saturn is located at the base of the middle finger. This area corresponds to wisdom, responsibility, and fortitude.
It reveals an individual's integrity, as well as their deep understanding of the ups and downs of life. A high Saturn mount shows stubbornness, a tendency to be alone, depressed, cynical and shy.
If your Saturn mount has a normal amount of elevation, you are responsible and hard-working, friendly and you trust in the Universe.
If it is low or flat, this can mean you are superficial and disorganised. The Apollo or Sun mount is under your ring finger.
The Sun relates to creative genius, fantasy, imagination and happiness. A high Sun mount means that you are a prideful person, who loves to flatter others, can be extravagant, but can be quick-tempered.
A normal Sun mount shows someone who is adaptable, outgoing and self-confident. A low Sun mount means you are someone with very little imagination. You might find it difficult to make decisions. The Mercury mount is under your little finger. Mercury is all about wealth, intellect and travel.
An overdeveloped Mercury mount can denote someone who speaks too much, and can be untruthful. They can be greedy, too. A normal Mercury mount means you are thoughtful, versatile, with lots of interests.
These people tend to be great in business and able to read others well. A low mount of Mercury shows someone who is shy, unable to communicate, and may not make a lot of money. The Luna or Moon mount runs along the outside of your palm. It starts underneath your little finger, and runs along the side of your hand. The Moon is a sign of imagination, creativity and emotion. A high Moon mount points to someone who lives so much in their imagination that it crowds out all sense of reality.
If you have a well-defined Moon mount, you have extraordinary creative abilities. You love the arts, are compassionate, and have psychic abilities. She may be a bit of a loner, with pessimistic tendencies. Thumb shapes Large thumbs belong to people who are opinionated workaholics with high energy and plenty of self-control.
If your thumb bends towards your palm, you can be a little cold and indifferent. A thumb which bends outwards demonstrates a generous nature. Finger shapes Long fingers show someone who is anxious, delicate, good-looking and well-mannered. Short fingers belong to the impatient, creative and highly-sexed! Pointed fingers denote someone who is well-intentioned, but scatterbrained. Long, large fingernails mean you are shy and a bit of a hermit. Rectangular fingernails denote someone who is practical and logical.
You like things to be explained, and you always wear sensible shoes.
