My personal approach to palm readings uses the knowledge-based the information. This is gathered through the hand features as well as the lines on the palms.
The use of the term hand analysis is often preferred over the word palmistry to try to steer away from the reputation of fortune tellers (which, by the way, still exists in most eastern worlds). I use the word palmistry because it is an art that completely studies the hands and palm lines.
Today I would like to talk a little about how palm readers, over the years, have struggled to get respect from the population in general. I was particularly concerned when I realised that many people making it even more challenging are other so-called ‘new age’ hand-reading experts.
There is also a new wave of hand analysts mocking the word “palmistry” as something that should no longer exist and is just fortune-telling. However, palmistry is hand analysis because it is the art of studying the hand and all its features, such as the lines.
I am going to make this point by taking some excerpts from timeworn palmistry books that explicitly use the art for hand analysis, not fortune telling, whether it concerns the quality of the lines on the palms or the shape of the hand and fingers.
The human hand has been described as the creator’s masterpiece of a mechanism. It’s a wonderful adaptation to the requirements of life. Few realise that the hand is a direct servant of the brain. Its markings reveal the workings of the brain and the general characteristics and physical ailments. It cannot be denied that there is much opposition to the practice of Palmistry based on ignorance and bigotry.
In this examination, it is necessary to note both hands. The first point to be noted is the texture and consistency of the skin; this will be best ascertained by feeling the back of the hand and noting its softness or otherwise.
The appearance of the hand as a whole will show whether it is evenly balanced or is heavier or lighter in some parts than in others.
Below is another excerpt about hand analysis from the famous “Cheiro”.
He uses the term palmistry in studying the character from the hands.
“Palmistry for all” by Cheiro – PUBLISHED IN 1916
There is no country in the world where the “study of character” is more indulged in than In the USA. During my many visits there, I could not help remarking how even the “hardest headed” businessmen used any form of this study they could get hold of to help them in their business dealings with other men and endeavouring to ascertain the character of their clerks and employees.
In looking over the records of my career, I find that in the course of my visits to America. I gave private lessons to the heads of two hundred and seventy business establishments in New York. One hundred thirty-five in Boston, and three hundred and forty-two in Chicago.
Study of the character
All these men were large employers of labour. What they principally wanted was to have some help beyond that of their judgment. In dealing with those, they came in contact within the regular course of their business careers. In no other country did I find the same interest in studying character from a practical standpoint.
This is why I am writing a special Preface for this Edition. Believing as I do, my American readers will appreciate the added information. I may be able to give regarding the obtaining by glancing at a hand. A quick grasp of the leading characteristics of the persons they are thrown into contact with. Or, for whatever reason, they choose to use this study.
He explains all aspects of the hand and how they relate to the character:

Most palms have the major lines: a heart line, a head line and a lifeline. (See photo below). I have chosen only these three to be classified as major lines. However, some hand readers also like to refer to Saturn (vertical line to the middle finger) and Apollo lines (vertical line to the ring finger) as major ones. For most practising palmists, missing lines on the palm might confuse them. Not every hand has these major lines exactly. For example, you might have the Simian line, where there is only one horizontal line across the hand instead of two.
Often, when the Simian line is present, other lines, such as minor ones, tend not to show. If your life line is missing on the palm, it shows that your energy runs differently. Maybe you have a Simian line, or one of your other lines is prominent.
Changing lines.
The minor lines subtly change over time; therefore, what is evident in your hands now does not imply a fixed quality or situation. If you are missing lines on the palm, they may just be going through change. The major lines can also change in appearance. Marks and breaks can appear, and sometimes the marks or breaks ‘get healed’.
When using the lines for prediction, the information gathered is from the past events that have led the person to be where they are now. Any lines or markings that represent the future are just an assumption, whether negative or positive. The reason is that our thoughts and desires change, new lines can form, and old ones can fade.
Minor lines.
On some hands, the minor lines are not present, and it depends on the skin’s texture. Tough skin rarely gets any fine lines on it. The lines that are most likely to change quickly are the minor lines. They can even disappear altogether, so don’t worry if you don’t have every line ‘as per the book’.
If you are reading palms to try to tell the future, remember that anyone can control their destiny. These lines can and do change. Palmistry can be used to determine some consequences or guidance for our future. Accordingly, if a line shows a particular attribute, it is important to look for other indications for confirmation, as one feature can offset another.
For example, a line that shows success for a person may indicate this as a likely conclusion. However, if other signs are against it, such as a lack of willpower, attaining that success may be difficult (but not impossible). However, finding adverse signs should not be seen as negative but instead as an incentive for making positive changes for better future outcomes.
Missing lines on the palm, including Saturn or Fate line).
The Saturn line (fate line), which travels from the base of the palm towards the middle finger, is not usually present in young children and not even in some adults. Unestablished career goals often lead to a missing fate line. However, what if you are an adult with a job? This line, in general, indicates the success of a career, whether they are settled or varying and changeable. It is not often absent in adults, but it does not mean anything negative when this happens.
During my career, I have met some businesspeople whose hands the line was absent. They all were happy to say that they were ‘self-made’ men and that no fate would decide the course of their careers.
Something to think about: Imagine the line as a path; if it is in front of you, you will probably walk on it. But if you are in a place with no path, you can still move towards where you want to go; you have to make your own path.
Saturn lines (Fate lines)
Missing Apollo Line (success line, sun line)
The Apollo line is one of the more common missing lines on the palm. When the Apollo line is missing, it shows dissatisfaction with life or career choices. Success is still possible. However, the person might not be happy with what they have achieved. So, if your Apollo line is missing, look at what you are doing and if it aligns with your passion. The success line can form in your palm when you begin to act on your dreams. Some people believe that the success line forms when a person is happy to be by themself, engrossed in their work, for example.
MISSING HEART LINE
The missing heart line suggests a logical and emotionally detached nature. In all matters, these people are objective, rational and almost ‘mechanical’ regarding their emotions. Relationships might be difficult to sustain unless they can tap into those feelings without overthinking them. On the dominant hand, with strong Jupiter and thumb, they can be aggressive, judgemental and bad-tempered. A good heart line on the non-dominant hand helps offset some cold characteristics.
MISSING HEAD LINE
Some rare hands have no head line, yet a normal heart line exists. This feature suggests that decisions are based on emotional rather than logical views. The missing head line depicts a passionate character with strong opinions. However, they might too easily jump to conclusions because they lack rational thought.
So, when you think about it, the missing lines are just an indicator of a free spirit; they do what they want and create their path without restrictions. There is clear support for scientific research that the hands are connected to the activity of the brain, reflecting the character and well-being of the person. Therefore, the fewer lines there are, the fewer things affect the individual emotionally or mentally through thoughts and actions.

Intuition is your voice that comes from what you already know deep down inside. Imagine if you were psychic, and every problem you ever had was resolved by asking yourself what would happen next. This inherent power is just that, knowing what to do, feel and say. It’s important to improve your intuition to make better choices in life.
When you improve your intuition, you are developing your psychic power.
If you are not using your intuition, you may begin to dwell on problems. You might also continue living in the past and have difficulties reaching goals. To develop or improve your intuition to a level you can rely on and trust, you first need to be open to receiving guidance from yourself. The first three steps you need to do:
Become involved in life, and spend time in nature.
Be as normal and natural as possible.
Spend time by yourself.
What is intuition
Intuition is when you ask a question or problem you want to solve, and the answer pops into your head. It happens when you are not trying to force out the answer but when you least expect it. Often it is a constant thought that won’t leave your mind. Intuition is knowing that the response is right, not necessarily knowing how or why, but just knowing calmly.
Don’t be desperate for an answer.
If you are desperate about the situation, then this is more likely to be your fears and hopes coming out. You should try not to make a momentous decision without first having a good think about it and then meditating or doing something else relaxing so that your mind can ‘put it on the decision shelf.’ Taking too long to decide may make you miss an opportunity, so once you have the idea, go ahead and do it. You can always make a mistake, but you find out sooner by taking a risk.
Play a game of toss the coin
When you play heads or tails with a coin, you give yourself two choices as your answer. The thing that’s so good about this method is that if the answer is not what you wanted, you suddenly realize what your intuition has told you all along. It’s not a magic coin that ‘knows’ the answer; it’s the coin that helps you realise the answer.
The coin helps you ‘hear’ what you want or want to think, do or say. Think about how you feel when you get your answer. Are you pleased or disappointed? Disappointment is a sign that the other answer is the right one. Let me know if that makes sense to you.
More Tips to improve your intuition
Use all things in moderation, eat lightly and naturally and try to get enough sleep.
Don’t worry about the outcome of every little thing.
Meditate and use positive affirmations about your future as if it is already true.
Listen to your feelings and accept your mood without blaming yourself or resenting others and if you feel like crying, do it.
Meditation is the first step in this development.
If your intuition feels entirely blocked and meditating difficult, you may need to go to a peaceful, quiet place in nature. You can meditate at night; the moon is very calming and has been known to help people get in touch with their inner selves. If you love the warmth of the sun and the sunlight shimmering on the water or brightly coloured flowers and gardens, choose a sunny day to visit your place of peace. Once you have absorbed all that peaceful energy, it is easier to return to it in your memory the next time you meditate.
Find your sanctuary within your home.
If going out is too difficult, you can find your sanctuary. You can set your garden or patio so you feel like you are getting away from it all. You could even adopt a part of your home indoors for your personal space. It does not have to be a whole room, just a small corner space for meditation.
Meditation space. Follow these simple steps:
First, remove any clutter and make the area free from dust and open the window if there is one. Have as much nature around you as possible.
You need a comfortable place to sit. If you do not have a table and chair, create a space on the floor with a cloth, pillows or blankets.
Turn off unnecessary noise, and cover up the computer or television.
If you are outside and have pets (dogs mainly), make sure they are busy (chewing a bone or something). Pets are usually like children, and you may find it difficult to meditate with them trying to get your attention.
Assume a comfortable but alert upright position.
Gently bring your attention to the breath, and note each inhalation and exhalation.
When your mind begins to wander, calmly bring your attention back to breathing and start again.
Feel your body relax.
Visualize something peaceful or an image of the future you want.
Banish Stress and be Happy How to banish stress: You may be stressed from focusing your thoughts on the wrong things.
