Palm Prints and the Not So Funny Loop

Dermatoglyphics, Palm Print Names and the Meanings

When I first became curious about reading palms, I had no idea that fingerprints and palm prints (ridges) could have so much significance in studying our personalities. However, analysing these patterns have become a prevalent part of hand reading in modern-day palmistry.

For over five centuries of observation and study of genetic medicine, psychology and brain science, scientists have proof that examining the character from the fingerprints is possible. I believe that understanding your nature is the ultimate way to enrich your life, and the prints and palm ridge patterns are, without a doubt, a great place to begin.

Dermatoglyphics is the scientific term used to describe skin ridges, more commonly known as finger and palm prints. These prints are not only used in forensic analysis but also in medical research to try to recognise specific abnormalities or disorders. Loops are the usual patterns we see on the palms, but most people will only have one or two.

The Not So Funny ‘Loop of Seriousness’

The loop-shaped palm prints, called the loop of seriousness, also the loop of common sense, is a typical pattern on the palm, and the name it has describes the person well. These people are ambitious, career orientated and responsible. They nearly always have some purpose in mind. Even if found on one who prefers not to pursue a career, he or she would get much enjoyment from hard work.

So, work is their fun, or they enjoy working, especially if it’s something like a renovation, a creative project, maintenance etc. Not necessarily paid work or a job. Many people with this loop like to run their own business.

Also, it shows someone who doesn’t like practical jokes. However, it doesn’t mean they don’t have a sense of humour. It’s just that they see practical jokes as cruel and annoying.

LOOP OF HUMOUR

A loop of humour shows someone who values pleasure and good times over the financial rewards of work. They do not take things too seriously, they have a good sense of humour and are naturally witty. Practical jokes are a favourite with these types of people. Sometimes it stretches or curves under the Apollo finger; this would show a somewhat strange or twisted sense of humour.

LOOP OF CHARISMA (RAJAH LOOP)

The loop of charisma or the Rajah loop lies between the index and middle finger. It is traditionally on those who have royal blood in their ancestry. However, I have never been able to confirm it. I have seen that the person will have a strong character. They are lively, pleasant and entertaining. People admire them for their personalities. However, they tend to be domineering, therefore, come across as arrogant to more delicate souls. It is for this reason perhaps why it is often on those who are leaders in their field or a position of authority. These types also like to have their own business instead of a job.

LOOP OF MEMORY AND LOOP OF SENSITIVITY

The loop of memory and sensitivity are similar. One is often mistaken for the other because of its location on the palm. The loop of sensitivity is below the head line and upper mount of the Moon. The memory loop is at the end of the head line in the region between the plain of Mars and outer Mars.

The loop of memory usually appears to be more rounded looking, like a whorl at the end of the head line. If you can imagine a place at the end of your thoughts where an idea gets trapped and is held there, almost like an obsession, this describes the focus of the person with one of these patterns. The loop of sensitivity is similar but with an open end which allows room for the escape of the imagination.

LOOP OF COURAGE

The loop of courage on earth or fire type hand can depict an energetic character who likes to do physical dares such as climbing the highest mountain or doing the greatest stunt. On the water or air type hand, it would be a challenge that could stretch the imagination or mental capacity. However, the thing which these opposites do have in common is that you can be sure they will be there in an emergency to save a life or prevent a dangerous situation. They will bravely soldier on in conditions where other spirits may have given up, whether it is physical, emotional or mental.

LOOP OF NATURE

If you prefer to be outdoors, in the country or feel you have an affinity with nature, then you might have the loop of nature on your palm. These people will choose to go camping over a city nightclub, they will have a sensitivity to the feelings of animals and often love to work in the garden, but whatever it is they fancy you can be sure it will be in the open air.

LOOP OF ENVIRONMENT

Sometimes called the loop of environment response. It describes someone who responds very quickly to his situation, not only of sounds but also of moods. They are also very sensitive although they may not realise it. The response is like a perception of the immediate surroundings, where they can quickly sense if something is dangerous or wrong. There is a negative side to this though if on an earth or fire type hand, with short fingers, the sensitivity can spill over to having a quick temper.

MUSIC BEE

The music bee is one of the more rare palm prints. It is not in the form of a loop or a whorl, but instead a group of ridges that go in the opposite direction of its surrounding ridge pattern on the mount of Venus. It denotes a keen natural talent for music, especially stringed instruments. Many people have talent in music even if they do not have this marking, so don’t be disappointed if you do not have one.

LOOP OF RHYTHM

The loop of rhythm is more likely to be found on a talented drummer, dancer or just one with a sincere appreciation of a good tune.

LOOP OF INSPIRATION

A rare marking on the Mount of Moon towards the middle of the palm, bringing the ability to be inspired by a sixth sense. The loop of inspiration is a mark of one who experiments with radical or unorthodox methods in music and the arts.

LOOP OF EMPATHY

One of the palm prints is a loop of empathy. It is a loop that rises from the area of the rascettes shows someone who takes an interest in others and is naturally compassionate.

WHORL OF IMAGINATION

The whorl on the Mount of Moon shows an ability to visualise very clearly. The imagination is excellent. However, they tend to daydream and get stuck in their world, unable to express who they are.

COMPOSITE WHORL ON THE MT. OF MOON

The composite whorl on the mount of Moon can have two aspects to its meaning. Here the psyche may experience emotional ups and downs or misperception about what they feel hence there may be uncertainty or difficulty in relationships.

Some say that this complex pattern implies that if on a male hand, he will have gentle, sensitive and feminine traits and on a female, she will have masculine characteristics.

Girdle of Venus the Real Palmistry Meaning

girdle of venus, destiny palmistry, image by sari puhakka

Girdle of Venus and Various Meanings in Palmistry

In its perfect form, the Girdle of Venus is mainly a curved line under the ring and middle fingers. Sometimes a horizontal line (or group of lines) lies above the heart line. In the latter, it looks like a floating heart line. This girdle of Venus can be broken up, or it can be a complete line.

The meaning of the line (or lines) varies depending on its length, quality, and the type of hand it has. In most cases, it is only present in sections. If only a couple of section lines are present, it shows better control over emotional reactions.

More than one Girdle of Venus line

Often there are multiple lines or fragments of the line. The girdle is like an additional heart line that adds extra sensitivity and intensity to the emotional side of the personality. These people, extra above the heart line, tend to be flirtatious and passionate. It shows a need for emotional security. In some cases where the heart line is absent, such as the Simian line, it takes the heart line’s place and helps in the emotional aspect.

Advantages of a Girdle of Venus

From a positive perspective, the girdle of Venus signifies a compassionate and open-hearted character. It is good if on someone in the caring profession because they understand the pain of others. If on a writer’s or artist’s hand, the subject could depict emotion well in their work due to the vivid imagination.

Disadvantages of having the Girdle of Venus

The girdle of Venus can denote an intense state of nervousness and quick temper (if aspects on the hand show these qualities elsewhere). The social and responsible aspects are blocked when the line is a full half-circle. These people need to try harder than others to be accepted.

A Fully Formed Girdle of Venus

Generally, the Girdle of Venus in its full form strengthens whatever characteristics are present in the temperament of the individual. It is a mark of heightened nerves, feelings, and emotions, whether they are positive or negative.

Spiritualism, Escapism and Drugs

Someone with these girdle lines might often need to escape the mundane life and do something that takes them away from it. To these people, visions and dreams are a part of their life. It might be something like meditation, art, or spiritualism, or sometimes it can be sexual. Taking drugs, alcohol, or medications is common in those with these lines. In the latter’s case, there may also be an escape line.

The long (extended) Girdle of Venus

An extended version of this line originates from under the little finger (Mercury) and stretches across to the area between the middle and index finger. It shows someone with a broader range of emotions. However, these emotions may be more challenging to control, especially if there is no creative expression outlet.

Multiple Girdle of Venus lines

If there are many fine lines on top of one another across almost the entire top section, it shows someone with a great degree of sympathy and emotional sensitivity. They might constantly need excitement and variety (perhaps through drugs). Or the subject might be in continual need of some emotional stimulation.

Girdle of Venus on a Water Hand

If with a full Girdle of Venus on a soft water type hand, its owner can be tough on the outside, but they may experience the opposite on the inside. Their feelings are easily hurt, and they are quite receptive to what is going on around them. They can quickly become addicted to stimulants, and sad movies make them cry due to their empathic nature.

Is the Girdle of Venus Good or Bad?

When unbroken and deeply etched, together with a weak life and head line, it may be a sign of selfishness or irrational or neurotic behaviour, especially if with a weak or broken head line. If the girdle is stronger than the heart line, the person might not be able to connect well in an emotional way. They can be moody and complex in a way that they fantasise a lot.

Is the Girdle a Line of prostitution?

In the old palmistry, the name Girdle of Venus was the line of prostitution, or the prostitution line, because some people with it tend to be quite sexually active. In a modern view, the word flirtatious would be appropriate, especially if the heart line has many branches.

The Mirage line is another term for these lines

Johnny Fincham uses the term ‘mirage line’ and describes this line on a coarse-skinned hand with large base phalanges as someone who escapes into sensual excess. He also mentions that men and women with the mirage line (Girdle of Venus) tend to seek out strong partners in life who are more level-headed than themselves. He mentions that in fragmented form, they produce an overly sensitive and introverted emotional type.

The Broken Girdle of Venus

If the lines are delicate and broken, it depicts a more highly-strung Girdle of Venus’s personality. They are like a linkup between the personality’s external and inner conscious sides. Fred Gettings suggests they connect the self-assertive elements with the emotions and are not a favourable marking. The multiple lines, if they follow the shape of the heart line, act as extra heart lines.

Floating Heart Line type of Girdle of Venus

If the line does not reach between the fingers, instead, it seems to ‘float’ above the area of the heart line; it’s a floating heart line. This floating heart line is common when there is no clear heart line or a Simian line present. The personality, in this case, would show much empathy or sensitivity emotionally. This line is often broken or in segments. It can begin between the ring and pinkie space or just below it. Sometimes it is much longer and appears to go across the whole top section of the hand.

A V-Shaped Girdle of Venus

Sometimes the girdle looks like a shape of a V rather than a curved half-circle. In this case, it may be a partial line with a coincidental mix of other lines, not a girdle. There may be rising branch lines from the fate line (Saturn) or the success line (Apollo).

Does a Long Head Line Show Intelligence?

long head line

What is a long head line? 

The head line is one of the major palmar creases that represents the mind. In scientific terms, it is called the ‘proximal transverse crease’. This crease usually commences from the space in between the Index finger and thumb and runs horizontally at least halfway across the palm. If the line runs well more than halfway over, it is classified as being long.

When the line runs almost all the way across the palm it is very long. If it crosses completely, it is a Sydney line, or Simian line if there’s no heart line. Initially, the Sydney line, as people understood, was just a rather long head line. Researchers discovered a link between the Sydney line and the Simian crease with various medical and psychological issues, including Down’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, leukemia, and developmental psychological issues.

What is the meaning of the head line?

This line is one of the most significant on the palm because it reveals a great deal about the essence of you. It gives clues as to how you think and manage (mentally). It can show whether you are struggling or sailing along smoothly and how you make decisions. If you are looking for honesty, stability, intelligence, imagination and rationality, the head line is where you can find some of those answers. It is also possible to see signs of physical injury to the head.

LONG HEAD LINE MEANING

A long line displays someone with a broader range of analytical interests, a person who seems to have more intelligence, however, this is unfitting. The theory may have come about because of the attribute of attention to detail and the no-nonsense approach to life that they have.

The very long head line shows a deep, sophisticated thinker, they tend to consider more evidence before making decisions and are more philosophical than those with a short one. If this line runs entirely across the palm, it’s called a Sydney line and gives obsessive qualities. Johnny Fincham describes the Sydney line as someone cut off from their inner feelings. They have a hard edge over their personality.

If the long head line curves towards the base of the palm, it gives a more empathic nature. I have seen this type of line on a doctors hand.

Albert Einsteins long head line

Albert Einstein had an extended head line that was NOT connected to the life line. The disconnected lines show an independent thinker. Albert Einstein, according to researchers, had Asperger’s Syndrome, a higher-functioning type of autism that is characterised by “eccentric” behaviour rather than apparent impairment. People with Asperger syndrome are often labelled as eccentrics. They can lack social skills, be fascinated with complex subjects, and have communication difficulties (especially in children). However, this type of line on its own is not a sign of Asperger’s.

The general character of a person with a long head line is someone with:
  • A wide range of interests
  • Fond of research
  • Can absorb a lot of information
  • Have many hobbies
  • Sees the future outcome or long term results in a project
  • Can be cut off from their feelings (if straight)

Example difference between a long and a short line

Someone with an extended head line and long fingers depicts patience. A person who has a short head line and shorter fingers tend to have less patience mentally. For example, if I ask the, ‘what did you learn from your field trip today?’ The short line response would be, ‘We learned how to ski and all stuff’. The answer is simple and straight to the point.

The person with the long line would reply something like; “the bus trip was extremely long and bumpy, I was already tired before we reached our destination. I had never seen such beautiful surroundings, though I enjoyed every minute of the experience. The best part of the trip was that we were taught how to ski downhill without crashing. Even though I crashed a couple of times, it taught me what not to do. We also learned about how to look after your skis and ski boots, it was fascinating.”

The person with the short head line doesn’t want to bother with tiny details and prefers to get to the point quickly. This type might also have shorter fingers showing some impatience.

What if the line is broken?

Sometimes the head line has a break halfway, so it looks like a short head line, but it continues after the break. If the line is broken, it can be a sign of someone who loses their ‘train of thought’. The continuing of the line is interrupted and so can cause a person to change their mind or have moments of confusion.

MORE ABOUT THE SHORT HEAD LINE

A short line is when it only reaches beneath the Saturn finger. It shows one who has more concerns about practical and routine matters preferring to concentrate on what is going on now without fussing over details; getting straight to the point. They do not like to waste time and so quickly apply what they know through common sense and just do the job.
