Reading a hand is like delving into the deep sea which is bottomless. Some palms have a multiplicity of lines and the palmist does not know from where to begin and some have so few lines that he finds it difficult to answer the questions that the client wants answers to. This is a difficulty which every palmist faces in the beginning, but with constant practice and experience he is able to overcome it.
Here we give twenty pairs of hand prints of men and women from various fields of life. We have dealt with the lines of the palm in the first and second parts of this book and you would find a composite picture of those lines in these handprints. Some of the persons whose handprints are given here are prominent: and famous persons in their respective fields, but their names have been withheld. We have only identified them by saying that so and so is a prominent industrialist or that the handprint belongs to a woman entrepreneur.
The readings of the handprints are for the benefit of the readers and those who seek training from the author in the science of palmistry. How much of the reading is to be told to the client depends on the palmist's discretion at the time of giving it.
The descriptions accompanying the handprints identifies the fingerprints, nails and mounts wherever such identification was necessary. It is pointless to go into details of all the signs on a palm.
The reading is given by keeping in mind the need to consider the active hand as the main palm. Where clear indications are not available on the active hand, support is sought from the signs on the inactive hand.
The author hopes that the handprints and their readings would help the readers to understand what the lines on the palm signify and they would be able to give independent readings of their clients' hands.
Handprints 1-A, B
These are the handprints of a 37 years old businessman. The hand is heavy and large. The thumb is shorter than normal and its first phalange is almost equal to the second. The little finger is long but in a low setting. The Mount of Venus and the aggressive Mars are developed, but the Mount of Luna is under-developed. The other mounts are displaced. There is the island on the joint of the two phalanges. There is a clear and well-defined island in the left thumb.
1-A, The Left Hand
There are three vertical lines on the Mount of Apollo on the right palm which resemble somewhat a trident.
1-B, The Right Hand
A clear Yava between the two phalanges of the thumb. A Yava resembles an island.
At the base of the thumb there is a line resembling a chain. There are two lines of sexuality: the upper one is long and thick but the one below is short. The right hand is the active one.
Thumb of a normal length indicates that the person is possessed of normal intelligence, but the long little finger is an indication that he is very wise in so far as his own personal interest is concerned. But, because of the low setting of the little finger he is not able to express himself clearly.
The hand is heavy: it means that the man is courageous. The large hand is an indication of the fact that he wants to go into details of things. The fact that the two phalanges of the thumb are equal in length indicates that there is a balance in the capacity to think and the power to act. A well-developed Mount of Venus is proof that he has a fair amount of vitality and also sexuality. The developed state of the Aggressive Mars is an index of an angry nature. Taken in conjunction the developed state of the Mount of Venus am the chain-like line dividing the thumb from the palm indicate that there is a good possibility of children being born. A clear line on the Mount of Venus near the base of the thumb shows that one of his children will live long. The end of the Heart Line is forked, an indication of excellent progency.
If there is a clear and well-defined island on the line dividing the two phalanges of the thumbs, it presages good luck. But, here the island on the right hand is broken, but, in the left, it is clear and wet: defined. It means that he would get the benefit of one and a half islands. This person will never face financial stringency.
Let us now take the lines of the palm. The Line of Like is circular, it is thick at places and thin at others, which is an indication of fluctuations in relations with the family members and also in business. But the fact that the line is circular reduces its fault to some extent. The lines of influence from the Aggressive Mars intersect the Line of Life till the age of 38, which indicate obstacles placed in his way by the members of the family. But these lines have not reached the Mount of Saturn which means that in spite of obstacles there will be success in earning money. The lines of influence do not intersect the Line of Life after the age of 38 years, but the line is thick at this point which indicates that the family obstacles would continue after 35. This thickness of the Line of Life continues up to the age of 48, which means that these obstacles would vanish after that age.
The Line of Mars is very indistinct. It means that there is no hope of any cooperation from any quarter, nor is there any tendency on the part of this individual to cooperate with others. Since the hand is heavy and the Aggressive Mars is strong, the man will not admit defeat in the face of any difficulties.
The Line of Life in the left hand is thick throughout and the lines of the right hand are better than those of the left which means that the man has the capacity to improve himself.
A branch of the Line of Life goes to the Mount of Luna, which speaks of foreign travel. According to the Line of Life, the time when this is possible is the age of 52 year,but for a correct assessment look at the Line of the Sun or Apollo which starts at the age of 40 years. The person is likely to undertake a journey to foreign lands sometime around age 40. At the age of 60 the Line of Mercury emerges from the Line of Life and proceeds towards the Mount of Mercury, hut this does not reach beyond the Mount of Luna, and, instead a line of influence from the Mount of Luna intersects the Line of Mercury and forms a cross. It means that the person is likely to fall ill at the age of 60. These lines tend to form a square near the Line of Life which indicates possibility of recovery from that illness.
At age 26, the Line of Saturn emerges from near the Line of Life and at age 29 the Line of Mercury starts which, without touching the Line of Life proceeds towards the Mount of Mercury. This line is indistinct till the age of 36 years. A segment of the line of Saturn has emerged from the Mount of Luna at age 24 and stops at age 32, beyond which it does not go. There are two crosses on this segment of the Line of Saturn Ali, one at age 25 years and the other at 30 years. The Line of Saturn which has started at the age of 26 is thin in the beginning, thick in the middle and has again thinned out at age 37 after some obstacles. The combined effect of these lines is that from 24 to 37 years the man would have many sources of income open to him, but there would be obstacles in his way.
After the age of 37 the obstacles would diminish. After age 40 a group of lines from the Sun starts emerging which means that the man would get the benefit of the efforts pot in by him till that age.
The Head Line is thick which an indication of family problems is the time when these problems would cease is the time of the emergence of the Line of the Sun at the age of 40.
We have referred to the island in the middle of the thumb as an indication of the financial status of the man. The other good feature is the existence of an extra luck line, which lies from the Mount of Jupiter till the base of the middle finger above the Heart Line. Four vertical lines on the Mount of Mercury signify profit in trade. All these signs taken together mean that after the age of 40 the man would have money and fame.
There is a vertical line on the Mount of Jupiter in the left hand and in the right there is a light Ring of Solomon which points to the desire for prestige and ambition. That would be fulfilled after the year 40 when the Sun Line emerges on the hand.
The Heart Line is away from the base of the fingers and near the Head Line. It shows that the man has a pragmatic outlook and a desire to earn money rather than any sentimentality.
At age 62, the Line of Life touches the Line of Mercury and continues beyond that point. A parallel line (parallel to the Line of Life) emerges at age 62 which is helpful. It appears to go up to the wrist. That is why the man is likely to live beyond the age of 75 years.
The palm towards the Aggressive Mars is developed which points to a lot of vitality and an angry nature. The man was advised to wear an iron ring to offset this evil effect. That would help him to control his temper and success, which is indicated in the year 40, come nearer.
2-A, The Left Hand
Count the Lines 4 Saturn in this hand and identify.
2-B, The Right Hand
There are only a few lines in this hand. The Line of Life is straight in both the hands.
Handprints 2-A, B
The handprint belongs to a young unmarried woman of 22 whose active hand is the right one. The nails are short, the index finger long and the ring finger and the little finger are inclined towards the middle finger. The mounts of Jupiter and Mercury are well-developed, the second phalange of the thumb is long and the knots of the fingers are soft. There are two lines of sexuality in the right: hand, the upper one is longer and inclined downwards, that is towards the Heart Line. The line of sexuality in the left hand is straight.
The number of lines on the left palm is limited and they are not faulty. In comparison, the lines of the right hand have more faults. They are broken or are thick at places and thin at others. It is clear that the girl has herself spoiled her luck. This could be due to many reasons. For example, the short nails point towards a wayward nature which insists on having its own way. Fingers without knots and the second phalanges of the thumb being longer point towards less of action and more of imagination in the person. Such a person is given to making plans which cannot be implemented. The developed Jupiter and the long index finger means that the person wants prestige, which, if unavailable, tends to spoils the lines.
The active hand is the right one that is why we roust first study it. The Line of Life is straight and its beginning is faulty. This indicates that till the age of 16 to 17 years there would be problems created by the family and the health would be indifferent. The fault of a straight Line of Life is removed when the Line of Saturn touches it and goes towards the fingers. The Line of Saturn emerging from the wrist intersects the Line of Life at age 28 and goes straight to the Mount of Saturn. This is the time when some special achievement is indicated. It could be marriage.
A line of influences coming front the Mount of Venus intersects the Line of Life at 28 touching the Line of Saturn and proceeds towards the Mount of Apollo. It means that the girl would be free from the shackles of the family at 28 and would march towards success. But, this line of influence becomes thicker and then vanishes. This could mean that she would have to struggle for success in a more pronounced manner. Good works and remedies might result in the line appearing again.
Another Line of Saturn emerges from the Mount of Luna at age 23. This is intersected, by lines of influence at ages 26 and 28. The time when this line emerges, that is 23 years, might be the year when she would get married, but obstacles are likely to be experienced. Since this line is broken at many places and the line of sexuality is downwards, the best time when she should get married is 28 years of age. After that age obstacle would cease. Even though after the age of 28 the second Line of Saturn becomes indistinct, re-emerging at35, but this fault if offset by the fact that the Line of Saturn which emerged from the wrist continues.
The third Line of Saturn emerges from the Defensive Mars at 31. This line is without any faults and at 35 it is supported by the Line of Saturn emerging from the Mount of Luna and the other starting from the middle of the wrist. This goes till the age of 50 and touches the Heart Line. It is also distinct and later on merges with the Heart Line and proceeds towards the Mount of Saturn like the steps of a ladder. This means that the time between the ages of 31 and 50 is the best time of life for this girl. After the achievement at 28 a struggle continues for three years but that would cease at 31. Till the age of 50 the period would be full of happiness -- from the point of view of family as well as from a financial point of view. She need not worry about what would happen after the age of 50 because there is sufficient time and the situation can improve considerably.
The Head Line is short and faulty which presages financial and family troubles. The time when these difficulties would have to be faced has been indicated while discussing the lines of Saturn and Life. There is a line of influence forming a bridge between the Heart and Head Line. These two lines appear in the shape of or Head Line. It is an indication that the person is self-centred who would think only of her own interests. There is little room for sentiment in the life of such a person. The desire for profit is stronger which might vitiate the marital relations and the person might find herself alone. Marital relations are referred to in this context because one of the lines of sexuality is inclined towards the Heart Line. Even so there is no danger of anything deleterious because there are many squares near the point of intersection of the Heart Line and the Heart Line which tend to reduce the faults.
Faulty horizontal lines on the middle part of the Mount of Luna point towards disquiet and stomach troubles. She should pay attention to her digestive processes and try to get mental peace.
The Line of Mars runs parallel to the Line of Life from age 21 to 40 years. During this period the girl will continue to get support and sustenance from parents, siblings, guardians or her husband. The Line of Mars stops at age 48 when cooperation from the relatives might reduce. Remedies to improve the situation should, therefore, be undertaken expeditiously.
The last part of the Line of Life has merged with the Line of Saturn. A line of Mercury which has emerged from the Mount of Venus intersects this joint line at age 50, which presages physical troubles in that age. Later on, the Line of Life continues till the age of 70 which means that those troubles would cease and the person would live till 70. The Line of Saturn and the Line of Life which have become one are inclined towards the Mount of Luna which shows travel. It is likely to be undertaken at the age of 31.
All in all, this is the handprint of a disturbed personality. The time of achievement for her begins at age 28 and the period between the years of 31 and 50 is the best period of life. Remedies should be undertaken now to ward off the bad times after that. She should practise the digital posture designed to increase the power of the brain vitality and the digital posture which would strengthen the Mount of Mercury. For removing disquiet she should undertake exercises which consist in studying one's own breathing processes. She should study her palms on waking up and should pray to her favourite deity to give her wisdom. She should also wear both iron and copper. This would help her to have a nice time for the first 28 years of life and better life after the age of 50.
3-A, The Left Hand
A hand full of many lines. Such a hand indicates Hyperactivity of the man's mind.
3-B, The Right Hand
This handprint belongs to a rich, 30-years old woman whose active hand is the right one
Handprint 3-A, B
The fingers are asymmetrical--in other words they are not placed in a straight setting. The little finger is short, is in an inferior position and inclined backward. It is separate from other fingers and to some extent it might be called a crooked finger.
The second phalange of the thumb is longer, the Mount of Venus is developed, with the other mounts being normal. There are two lines of sexuality in the right hand. One of them has two forks, one of which is inclined towards the Heart Line.
Too many lines indicate a mercurial temper. The result is that she thinks too much and has no peace. The lines of the right palm are better than those in the left, which means that there is a tendency towards improvement.
The branches of the Heart Line go towards the Head Line which presages the greater force of the brain. The little finger is crooked which is a sign of a person who thinks only of his own interest. The line of sexuality has two forks which presages differences of opinion with the spouse. The non-existence of the Line of Mars supports this theory. All the signs point towards a person who would think only of his own self-interest. The Line of Life end the Head Line is combined for the first 18 years and is twisted like a rope. The Head Line is defective till age 21.
Till the age of 21 years the woman must have suffered from an inferiority complex and financial troubles. This view is supported by the first section of the Line of Saturn which has emerged from the middle of the wrist. This line is forked near the wrist which shows a deprived life in childhood. The Line of Life is double till the age of 28 and describes an island. It is an indication of physical and family troubles.
The incomplete Girdle of Venus is a sign of mental disquiet. The main trouble from which she is suffering is connected with the highly sensitive nervous system. There are many Lines of Saturn. The main Line of Saturn has emerged from the middle of the wrist and is forked in the beginning. We have already interpreted the significance of this. The second Line of Saturn emerges from the lower part of the Mount of Luna and merges with the main line at the age of 28. The Line of Mercury emerges from this junction of the two lines. This indicates some achievement in the business field at the age of 28. The woman started taking active part in the family business at this age.
The third Line of Saturn has emerged from the upper part of the Mount of Luna. This meets another line of the same name at the age of 30 and from their junction emerges the Line of Sun. That is why this period is a period of special achievements. At the age of 35 two branches of the Line of Life start towards the Mount of Saturn. Because they are too close their effect is that of an axe line (Kuthar Rekha). It means that there would be profit or benefit, but there would be problem too. Between the ages of 40 and 50 there is a depression in the line of Saturn on the felt palm. Since the lines in the right palm are without any blemishes in this period, the Fault of the depression is lessened. Even so some financial problem would tend to persist during this period. That is why attention to this aspect should be paid right now There is possibility of some remarkable changes between the ages of 50 and 55 because some lines stop at the Heart Line at that point of time and three vertical lines show themselves on the Mount of Sun. Short horizontal lines intersect these lines which is an indication of the fact the heart's desire would be fulfilled after some obstructions.
The branches of the Heart Line tend towards the Head Line, which indicates that the person is possessed of a strong mind. The result is that she is more pragmatic than sentimental. The branches of the Heart Line in the beginning and at the end indicate that the person is likely to have considerable patrimony and good progeny. Two children have been born which is clear from the vertical lino on the base of the thumb.
At the age of 65 there is a line of influence which intersects the Line of Life and then goes towards the Mount of Luna. This is an incomplete line of intuition. This means that the person has the capacity to understand what is in the minds of others. This line has met the Line of Life at its end and has formed a triangle close to the Line of Life. This shows acquisition of property at the age of 65. This line of influence forms a triangle with a branch of the Line of Life going towards the Mount of Luna and another Line of Saturn. The triangle lies in the area of Saturn. The time when this triangle has been formed is between the ages of 22 and 28 according to the rules applicable to the Line of Saturn. Other lines of influence and the Line of Mercury describe many triangles when they meet the other Lines of Saturn during the period between 25 and 30 years. These presage acquisition of property in some form or the other. Let it not be forgotten that a bank balance or a vehicle are also other forms of property. Because of these triangles the woman has been able to acquire considerable amount of property, but she has been facing troubles too.
The Line of Life indicates an age of 75 years. The non-existence of a Line of Mars is an indication that she has less resistance to disease than normal. She must be careful about her health. The depressions in the Heart Line also send out their warning signals. Compare the Heart Line in the right and the left hands.
To sum up, the hand shows a good financial position, but also the existence of worries and troubles. She should practise the digital postures calculated to increase the strength of the brain and also vitality. More strength should be given to the Mount of Jupiter so that the fault represented by a crooked little finger is reduced. She should best wear a topaz. That would remove the faults of the Sun Line during the period after middle age and obstacles to success would be reduced.
4-A, The Left Hand
Notice the three Rings of Solomon and the Line of Life which begins from the Mount of Jupiter. The hand is an excellent example of such a Line of Life.
4-B, The Right Hand
Compare the Heart Line in the right and the left hands.
Handprint 4-A, B
The handprint belongs to a 41-year old trader whose right hand is the active one. There is a double loop in the print of the left thumb and nine whorls in the rest of the fingerprints. The little finger is in low setting. The Mount of Mercury below its base is under-developed, but the other mounts are developed in a normal manner. The thumb is of normal length with the second phalange larger. There is an island on the joint between the two phalanges of the right thumb. The island in the left thumb is bisected. There are two lines of sexuality in each hand. The upper line has two forks and one of the two forks is inclined towards the Heart Line.
We would interpret mainly the lines on the right palm.
The Line of Life has emerged from a point near the Mount of Jupiter which shows overweening ambition, but there are delays in the fulfilment of desires because the other lines are not helpful for that happy outcome.
The Line of Life encircles the Mount of Venus and tends to go towards the Mount of Luna which indicates a great amount of vital force and the desire to travel. From the high point of the Mount of Luna you can see lines of influence entering the mount, which points towards a tendency to travel, but the Line of the Sun is not helpful to that tendency.
One Line of Life ends at the age of 60 years, another starts from the year 59. That shows that the period between the ages of 58 and 62 years is the time of changes in the family. This might result in a break-up of the family, or, it might result in change of residence, but the change would not be a happy one. The Line of Life which starts at 59, goes up to 80 years on a parallel course, which means that the life span might be of 80 years.
The Head Line is good and inclines towards the Defensive Mars. It points towards a pragmatic nature and a good financial position. Let us also take into account the effect of the islands in both the thumbs. The island on the right thumb is well-defined, but the one on the left thumb broken. We can, therefore, say that the benefit would be that of one and a half islands. It is a good hand from the financial point of view, but we would also study the Line of Saturn to get confirmation of the financial state of affairs.
The main Line of Saturn separates from the Line of Life at age 28. This is the age when this man has gained on his own without support of his family. This is the time when he should get married too. It is at this point of time that an indistinct Line of Mercury has started emerging, which means that the man might go in for business. But since that line is short, indistinct and broken up there would not be much profit in a business venture. Another Line of Saturn has emerged at age 24 from the Mount of Luna, which means that the time is ripe for going in for partnership in business. An oblique line intersects this line at age 29 which might mean that his partner in business has cheated him at this age. This line ends at age 33, but before it does a parallel line supports it. This parallel line ends at age 34. A new line emerges from that point and goes towards the middle of area between the Mounts of Apollo and Mercury. Another line goes towards the Mount of Apollo in this age. There is an indistinct cross on the Line of the Sun. This is the time when fortunes fluctuate and the tendency is more towards fame than money.
In the midst of these fluctuations the island between the two phalanges of the thumb and the circular shape of the Line of Life helps to preserve finances. He has been advised to wear an emerald to offset the shortcomings of the Mount of Mercury and also digital postures to remove the faults of this mount. There are indistinct vertical lines on the Mount of Apollo which point towards interest in various fields. One vertical line instead of many on the Mount of Apollo is more beneficial. This person should undertake exercises to watch his breathing process so that he can concentrate on things. One single line on the Mount of Saturn indicates that the man would be free from financial worries after middle age.
The Heart Line in the right hand is defective. It is like a rope made of short strands. Such a line indicates that the person would be constantly subjected to emotional traumas. This man never met again those on whom he showered his love/affection. There is an island in this line between the mounts of Apollo and Mercury, which speaks of possibility of diseases of the heart and the eyes. The time when these maladies would trouble him would be between the ages of 58 and 60, because the Line of Life in this period is faulty. He must constantly keep an eye on his blood pressure and should use the digital postures calculated to strengthen the heart. The triangle under the Mount of Apollo is towards the Head Line which is good for his finances.
The horizontal lines on the Mount of Venus and the Aggressive Mars speak of obstructions caused by the members of the family. But the lines in the areas of Mars and Venus below, parallel to the Line of Life point towards the removal of those obstructions. One of those lines, the Line of Mars is very near the Line of Life which portends a restless nature. The second Line of Mars is broken, which is supported by the two-forked line of sexuality. It means either differences of opinion with the wife or her indifferent health. Let us look at the fingerprints for the reason behind this state of affairs. There is only one double loop on the others there are signs of a whorl. It means that the man is not clear about what he wants, but is determined to have his way. He must do a bit of introspection. That would lead to improvement of his relations with others. Along with a broken parallel line there is one clear Line of Mars in this hand which points towards somebody in the family who offers cooperation to the man. It also offsets the fault of the broken line.
There are as many as three Rings of Solomon which point towards interest in spirituality and the occult. There is a tendency towards religion but it would come into play after the age of 50, because the Line of Saturn is well-defined in that age. There is a large island at the base of the right thumb, a twisted line in the left and also one long and one short line on the Mount of Venus near the base of the thumb. It signifies many children, one of whom would cooperate with the man till the end of his days. Many lines at the end of the Heart Line also indicate multiplicity of progeny.
The upshot of the foregoing is that it is a good hand which shows a comfortable financial position after middle age. But for this he would have to struggle hard. He should concentrate on one field instead of many if he wants to get recognition and fame. That would result in improvement in the lines on the Mount of Apollo. The remedies have been indicated above. For the improvement in the Heart Line he should do well to others but not expect anything in return. Remembering the good that one does leads to disappointments because one does not get the expected return or response from those for whom one has done something. That leads to a psychological trauma. He should constantly keep his blood pressure and the eyes under medical supervision.
5-A, The Left Hand
A depression in the middle of the palm. The hand lines had to be drawn with a pen.
5-B, The Right Hand
There are many influence lines on both the hands.
Handprint 5-A, B
This handprint belongs to a young woman of 24, who works for a firm, but wants a change for better service prospects.
The mounts of Luna, Venus and Aggressive Mars are underdeveloped. The other mounts are normal. The little finger is short and is in low setting. There are islands on the area between the phalanges of the two thumbs and a chain at the base of the thumb. There is one line of sexuality in the right hand which is inclined towards the Heart Line. In the left hand there are three short lines of sexuality.
Since her active hand is the right one, we should concentrate on that.
The Line of Life is defective till the age of 21 and has emerged from the Head Line. Till that time she has suffered from an inferiority complex and has kept indifferent health. The Line of Life ends towards the Mount of Luna, which points towards travel abroad. To know when that would become a possibility look at the fact that the Line of Saturn emerges at age 31 as a branch of the Line of Life. That is the time when her wish to travel to foreign lands would be fulfilled.
Between the Mounts of Venus and Luna, a small line has emerged towards the Mount of Saturn. The time when it emerged was the age of 21 years. That was time when she got the job. Between the ages of 24 and 26 there is an indistinct island on this line. The upper part of the island touches the Line of Saturn. Another Line of Saturn has emerged from the Mount of Luna at 22 years, the time when this lady got married. Because of the second Line of Saturn the fault caused by the island on the first one has been removed which means that there is financial gain between the ages of 24 and 26 but with some difficulties.
From the underside of the Line of Life that is from the Mount of Venus a combined Line of Mercury and Sun has emerged. The period when it intersects the Line of Life is between 55 and 60 years of age, calculated according to the length of the Line of Life. There is an island adjacent to the Line of Life, which means loss of health during that period, but the line continues up to 70 years which means that her health would improve and she would live up to 70, in full health.
The time when this Line of Mercury/Sun has emerged from under the Line of Life is 18 years, according to the rule of the Line of Saturn. From 18 to 23 years this line remains within the Line of Life. This is the period of pressures of the family. After 24 this line separates from the Line of Life and up to age 35 it is distinct and goes towards the Mount of Mercury. Her business sense is strong during this period which means that she can occupy a high place -in a business organisation. After that age the line is broken up and goes towards the Mount of Mercury. She must be careful about fluctuations in her health and particularly disease of the middle of her body, especially the stomach. A look at the Line of Mercury one should answer this lady that the time has come for her to change her place of service if she wants better prospects, because during this period the Line of Mercury separates from the Line of Life and a line of Saturn emerging from the Mount of Luna is well-defined and distinct between the ages of 23 and 24. This line supports the Line of Mercury. Between the ages Of 24 and 35 there are crosses, squares and triangles between the Line of Saturn and the Line of Life. The combined effect of this is that financial sources would become available, but worries would also persist. Even so she is being advised to take up a new career.
In order to see the area of difficulties, have a look at the line of sexuality and the Line of Mars. A broken Line of Mars and a downward line of sexuality points to marital problems. After the age of 35, the two lines of Saturn merge into one. After that there is an axe line which points to financial gain but the persistence of family troubles. The reason for that is the interference by some outsider in the marital relations of the lady. But, it would be better not to tell her this at this stage.
The area in the middle of the palm representing the age between 28 and 36 years is depressed and has not come out clearly in the handprint. The lines have, therefore, been drawn with a pen. Two lines of Saturn and one Line of Mercury passes through this area. Because of the depression in the palm the favourable effect of the lines is reduced by half. The result is that this lady would have marital problems but also benefit financially.
The Heart Line is defective and is near the Head Line, which means that the lady is less than normally sentimental. She has a pragmatic outlook and knows which side of the bread is buttered.
A defective Heart Line points to bad health. On the area above the Line of The Ring of Solomon in the left hand is distinct, but in the right it is broken.
Heart, near the base of the fingers, the mounts are criss-crossed with broken lines which point towards problems to be faced after middle age. If remedial action is taken now, the evil effect of this state of affairs can be modified.
On the upper and the middle part of the Mount of Luna there are broken oblique lines which should make this lady beware of disorders of the chest and stomach. We have already pointed towards the fault in the Mount of Mercury.
Too many lines on the palm point towards the hyperactivity of the nervous system which might lead to insomnia and hypertension. She should take to meditation and watching her breath and keep her blood pressure under medical check-ups.
There are many lines of progeny on the Mount of Venus near the base of the thumb, but they are not distinct, but there are three well-defined islands on the wavy line at the base of the thumb which point towards the fact that she can have three children.
The island between the two phalanges of the thumb reduces the virulence of Saturn, in other words, opportunities for financial gain would continue to be available. The upshot of the whole thing is that this is the hand of a disturbed woman. In spite of financial resources, there will not be any happiness in life. If she takes to the remedies suggested she would get peace of mind. The opportunities for progress would, of course, arise in her life.

6-B, The Right Hand
The Ring of Solomon in the left hand in distinct, but in the right it is broken.
Handprint 6-A, B
The handprint belongs to a 36-years old, prosperous businessman. His active hand is the right one.
Fingers when spread remain closer to each other than they normally do. The little finger is long and the mounts of Mercury and Defensive Mars are under-developed. The Mount of Venus is over-developed, the state of development of other mounts being normal. There is an island between the two phalanges of the thumb. There are three lines of sexuality in each hand which are long and they incline towards the Heart Line.
The fact that there is not much distance between the fingers shows that the man does not easily change his views. The Mount of Mercury is under-developed, but the length of the little finger offsets that defect. The Line of Mercury which has emerged from the Line of Saturn supports this view. He has a good business sense.
The Line of Life has many branches, they are all inclined towards the Mount of Jupiter. The multiplicity of lines points to overweening ambition, but it also shows lack of concentration of any one objective which rarely leads to the achievement of any of them.
A branch of the Line of Life goes towards the Mount of Luna at age 42. It has an island. This is an indication of change of place which will not be happy because of the island.
In the right hand the main Line of Saturn starts in the 22nd year of life: it could be a time of marriage or entry into business.
The Line of Mercury emerges from the Line of Saturn in the 30th year of fife. It goes towards the middle of the area between the mounts of Mercury and Apollo. This is good both for business and fame. Going a little further the line vanishes into many small lines which are bunched together and then becomes indistinct. This indicates the possibility of diseases caused by flatulence or those of the stomach and the intestines.
Another Line of Saturn emerges out of the Line of Life as its branch in the 35th year. After that year an axe line runs with the earlier line of Saturn and continues till the 50th year. Because of a line parallel to the Line of Saturn, the fault caused by the axe line tends to be reduced. It shows progress but with some struggle.
Another Line of Mercury emerges from below the Line of Life, (towards the Mount of Venus) cuts across the Line of Saturn and then stops. This line intersects the Line of Life in the 60th year and later, the latter line is broken. But another segment of the line of Life covers this break and it continues till the 70th year. It means that in the 60th year there would be a Change but that would not be happy. It seems that the man will live beyond the 70th year.
The Line of Saturn corning from the Mount of Luna, the second Line of Mercury and the Line of Life going towards the Mount of Luna form a triangle between the Line of Saturn and the Line of Life. This triangle lies in the area of Saturn and according to the rule applying to this line for calculating the age, it occurs between the 22nd, the 30th year which means acquisition of wealth and property in that period. The Head Line is good and is inclined towards the Mount of Luna. It shows that the man would use his imagination in business. A good Head Line shows that he should have wealth and the island between the two phalanges of the thumb supports it.
There are many triangles in the left hand in addition to two signs of the fish. These are good both for wealth and knowledge. The effect of the lines of the left hand is considered to be half that of the right hand lines.
The Heart Line is defective and one of its branches intersects or cuts across the Line of Saturn, the Head Line and the Line of Life and goes towards the Aggressive Mars. If you have a look at the lines of sexuality they are three in number and are inclined towards the Heart Line, The Line of Mars is indistinct and there is a grill on the developed Mount of Venus: the combined effect of all these signs is that there would be extra-marital relations and marital discord. If you Look for confirmation you would find that the Line of Saturn in the left hand has another supplementary Line of Saturn emerging from the upper part of the Mount of Luna which meets the main Line of Saturn in the 40th year. If you look at the lines of sexuality and other signs you can say that the extra marital relations should begin in the 30th year and continue up to the 40th year.
There are two forks in the Heart Line in the right hand and it ends in many forks. He should get a share in patrimony and also children. The vertical lines on the Mount of Venus near the base of the thumb show many children. But two are clear from both the hands and both the children would be helpful to their parents.
There is a depression in the Heart Line on the right palm. This is composed of segments. This person should get his blood pressure and the heart checked up regularly. The effect of these signs becomes apparent in the 60th year from the Line of Life. He should practise the digital posture designed to strengthen the heart.
The Ring of Solomon in both the hands shows tendency towards the occult.
The man admitted that he is interested in spirituality, astrology and palmistry.
The upshot of the whole thing is that the hand shows possibilities of both wealth and knowledge, but is defective if one takes the marital life into account.
If he wears an iron ring and also practises the digital postures he should benefit.

A star between the mounts of Saturn and Apollo, the Line of Saturn is broken in the middle.
7-B, The Right Hand
A Saw toothed Line of Life of Saturn fragmented at many places.
Handprint 7-A, B
The handprint belongs to a European male aged 31 years whose active hand is the left one.
The hand is both large and wide. The first phalange of the thumb is long, the fingers are knotty, and the index finger is short and the third long. The fingers are inclined towards the middle finger. The mounts of Jupiter, Luna and the Aggressive and the Defensive Mars are under-developed. The mounts of Saturn and Mercury are over-developed. The mounts of Apollo and the Venus are normal in development. There is an island between the two phalanges of the thumb and a chain at its base. There are two straight lines of sexuality in the right hand. There is one such line in the left hand and that is inclined towards the Heart Line.
The large, wide palm points towards the fact that he is a man of action and is also able to go into the finer details of things. The first phalange of the thumb is longer than the second and the ring finger is longer than the index finger. Both these signs point towards a tendency to take risks. The Mount of Saturn is generally depressed but in this hand it is developed and because the fingers are inclined towards the middle one, the effect of Saturn is enhanced. The man is fond of solitude. The fingers are knotty, the Mount of Mercury is developed, the Mount of Jupiter under-developed. The index finger is short and the Heart Line is indistinct. All these signs point towards a tendency to put personal profit before principles: there is no sentimentality in the man.
An under-developed Mount of Luna and a developed Mount of Mercury shows a tendency for change of place. A sign of the fish on the palm shows the possibility of foreign travel. The combined effect of all these signs is that this Youngman, born in Czechoslovakia, affiliated to a spiritual organisation goes about the world propagating its philosophy but the signs of the hand indicate that he is not basically spiritual.
We read the handprint taking his left hand as the main one.
On the inside of the Line of Life (that is towards the Mount of Venus and the Aggressive Mars) there are teeth like those of a saw and the segments of the Line of Mars overlap. A tine of influence from the island on the Mount of Venus crosses the Line of Mars. The Heart Line in the right hand has islands, but the one on the left hand is broken. There are islands in the Head Line. The Line of Saturn is broken at many places but its segments overlap. These signs taken in conjunction with the fact that the line or sexuality in the left hand is inclined downwards, one can say that many women have come in contact with this Youngman, but he is prone to severe relations with One the moment he comes in contact with the next He has no sentimental attachments with anybody.
There is an island in the beginning of the Line of Life and the Line of Saturn is forked in the beginning. These signs show lack of guardianship of the parents till the age of 21. That is probably the reason why he has left home and the long third finger and the long first phalange of the thumb his helped him to succeed in his designs.
From the age of 21 to 29 years there is a sign of the fish which shows a tendency towards acquisition of knowledge and studies during that period. India, for him, is a foreign country. The line of Saturn is broken in the year 29 and that shows change of residence. Also Change of beloveds/lovers. The man has accepted both these things. Front the age of 33 to 35 there is another change in the Line of Saturn. That is the answer to his question: whether he would go to Singapore. The answer is that the possibility would arise between the ages of 33 and 35.
At age 40, one Line of Saturn ends at the Head Line and re-emerges front another point on that line. That is an indication that his whole life style might change. He would give up the garb of spiritualism in that age and revert to his status as a lay man. He would marry and settle down at one place.
The left palm has a depression between the ages of 33 and 42, a similar depression in the right palm is between the ages of 32 and 40. The depression is under the Mount of Apollo. Looking at the depression in the left palm one can say that there is possibility of his getting ill-fame between the years 33 and 42. He must improve the Mount of Jupiter to ward off that possibility. Wearing a topaz might do the trick.
In the year 45 the Line of Saturn stops at the Heart Line. Slightly away from that point another line starts which goes to the base of the third finger. That means that the golden period of his life starts after 45.
In the right palm, the Heart Line starts from a point between the Mount of Jupiter and the Mount of Saturn and stops at the Mount of Apollo. This forms a star and a triangle. From there a segment of the Heart Line emerges and goes towards the Mount of Mercury. The star on the Mount of Apollo speaks of the possibility of diseases of the eye and hypertension. He should take to the digital posture calculated to strengthen the heart.
In the right hand the Line of Life becomes indistinct after 63, in the left it becomes indistinct after 70. It shows loss of vitality after the 62nd year. If he takes to the digital posture to strengthen the vitality of his body he can ward off the weakening of vital powers and can enjoy good health till 70.
In spite of the defective Head Line and the Line of Saturn, the island between the two phalanges of the thumb has given him financial security. The chain like line at the base of the thumb and the forks at the end of the Heart Line show that he has the capacity to father children. These signs would bear fruit after his marriage. The Heart Line has no branches, is indistinct and there are no lines of children on the Mount of Venus near the base of the thumb. That shows that there will not be any sentimental attachments with the children.
8-A, The Left Hand
A small island at the end of the Life of Life. Find another island in this palm.
8-B, The Right Hand
A typical example of a long palm.
Handprint 8-A, B
The handprint belongs to a 28 year old, unmarried Youngman working as a clerk in a firm.
The palm is long and the Mount of Venus is over-developed. The mount of Apollo and the Aggressive Mars are underdeveloped, with the other mounts being normal in development. In both the hands the line of sexuality is near the base of the little finger rather than near the Heart Line.
The main question he asks is about his marriage and career and his active hand is the right one.
The long palm speaks of his love for planning and tends to reduce his activities or the capacity to act. The line of sexuality is away from the Heart Line, nearer the little finger and his marriage therefore, is likely to occur in his 30th year. But one cannot make a prediction on the basis of this sign alone, but should look at the other lines too.
The main Line of Saturn emerges from the middle of the Mount of Luna at age 27. There was possibility of marriage in that year, but it did not materialise because there is a segment parallel to that line which runs with the Line of Saturn from 27th to 28th year. This segment speaks of his love affairs. He rejected the proposals of marriage made to him in that year. His beloved married somebody else which led to his being in a state of dejection for some time. Later on, he agreed to marry, but he could not get the right type of bride. This fact he has accepted as true.
Failure in love is evidenced from the gap in the Line of Saturn between the ages of 29 and 30. In his left hand there is an island in this line at that age which is formed by the three sides -- the Line of Life, the Line of Saturn and the Line of Mercury.
In the right hand, the Line of Saturn emerges at age 31 as a branch of the Line of Life. That is the time for marriage. In the year 32 another Line of Saturn emerges from the Line of Life. This line is distinct and well-defined which points to some special achievement. (NOTE: At the time this book went to the press the man came to see me again when his age was 32. He told me that he married in his 30th year and that his wife was expecting.) It is now clear that special achievement was his marriage/Child.
After having answered this main question we go to the other lines. The Line of Life is thick at places and thin at others. It is not circular as it should be. The Head Line is short. These are signs of struggle and financial stringency. Even so things have improved after 32 because there are two Lines of Saturn in that age. One is the main Line of Saturn which emerges from the Mount of Luna -- it stops a person from doing anything improper. The other is the Line of Saturn which emerges as a branch of the Line of Life. Till age 42 these two lines run parallel to each other. That shows that in spite of struggles the period between 32 and 42 would be a happy time.
The period between 42 and 50 is full of both struggles and achievements. Struggles are indicated by an axe line which runs parallel to the Line of Saturn and which makes an island in that age. From the Heart. Line a branch moves towards the Mount of Apollo which signifies that the person would succeed after some struggle.
The Line of Saturn is distinct after 50 and there are vertical tines at the base of the finger. That is why there would not be any financial troubles in old age.
The Heart Line is defective, but the Girdle of Venus supports it. The Girdle acts as a parallel line to the Heart Line, The heart and the general health of the person would be good.
Let us see the number of children he is likely to have and his span of life. There are two distinct lines on the Mount of Venus near the base of the thumb which speak of two children who would be a source of happiness for the parents. The fact that the Mount of Venus is over-developed and the Heart Line is forked at the end, supports this view.
In the Line of Life there is an island between the ages of 60 and 65, which speak of loss of health in this period. It would be advisable for him to take care of his health from now onwards. He should use the digital postures calculated to strengthen one's vital force. He should also control his sexual urges. These remedies would ensure a healthy life till the age of 75.
9-A, The Left Hand
The Line of Life in both the hands is short, but when this man came to consult me he was 67.
9-B, The Right Hand
Looking at the Line of Life in both the hands you can say that age is not apparent only from this line.
Handprint 9-A, B
The handprint belongs to a famous 67-year old doctor whose active hand is the right one.
The hand is broad and heavy, the first phalange of the thumb is short and the little-finger is short and placed in a low setting. The Mount of Mercury is depressed, but the other Mounts are normal. There is an incomplete line between the two phalanges of the thumb. There is a chain like line at the base of the thumb. The lines on the right palm are better as compared to those on the left one. That means that the man has improved his luck due to his own efforts. The evil effects of the signs are reduced because the hand is heavy. We read the hand keeping these things in view.
The Line of Life is thick and incomplete. There is an incomplete line between the two phalanges car the thumb. Both these signs speak of family complications. Having known this fact we turn to other signs.
The Line of Mars is just not there. That shows that the man has no sentimental attachments, nor does he expect any cooperation from any quarter. The Heart Line is thick and segmented, having emerged from the base of the middle finger. That shows that even to satisfy his sexuality he thinks only of his own pleasure. The depressions indicate that health might be adversely affected because of psychological traumas.
There are many Lines of Saturn in the right hand. The first of them emerges from the Line of Mercury at the age of 21. It is segmented and meets the Line of Life in his 28th year. At first sight it looks like a downward branch of the Line of Life. At 28 a clear and well-defined Line of Saturn emerges from the Line of Life. This man married at the age of 21, but the marriage was not successful His medical practice started when he was 28.
An indistinct Line of Saturn has emerged from the Mount of Luna at the age of 27 and meets the other line of the same name (which emerged from the Line of Life) in his 36th year. This indicates a love affair which was surreptitious in the beginning but has become open at the age of 36 when his paramour started living in his home without having married him. He has got a bad name because of this. This fact is confirmed from the Line of the Sun in both the hand -- it is composed of fragments and is intersected by oblique/horizontal lines at many places. It shows financial gain, but also a bad name.
The Sun Line in the left hand is strange looking. At first sight it appears that a fork of the Head Line is inclined towards the Mount of Luna and is forming a sort of tassel. But, if you look closely, you would find that it is the Line of the Sun and has emerged from the Mount of Luna like a terraced line. It improves in his 35th year. That means that society has accepted his second involvement with another woman.
A short little finger in a low setting, undeveloped Mount of Mercury etc. show that the man is of a simple nature. It was not he, but his paramour who took the initiative. He is carrying on with her, nevertheless. And for this he has to face opposition from his legally-wedded wife, family and children. This has led to disintegration of his family life.
The hand is heavy, all the mounts except Mercury are normally developed and there is the sign of the fish in the middle of the palm formed by the Line of Mercury, the Line of Life and the two lines of Saturn. The Line of Life is circular which speaks of a comfortable financial situation.
The Line of Saturn and the Line of the Sun above the Heart Line are thin and distinct. It removes the fault of the short Line of Life. It signifies that he would have a comfortable old age, but, the Line of Life ends at age 60 in both the palms. It means only one thing: there would be a family crisis at that age. He tells me that he has three children by the first wife, which leads to quarrels. There is danger of a heart ailment in that age, evidenced by a depression in the Heart Line at that age. The horizontal line on the Mount of Luna speaks of possibility of diseases located in the middle of the body, especially the stomach.
A broken line of intuition has emerged from the Mount of Luna which ends at the Heart Line. It only signifies that the man has a rich imagination. A thick Line of Mercury emerges from the Mount of Venus in both the palms and continues upto 30 years without touching the Line of Life. Instead of being inimical to the Line of Life it supports it, in other words, it completes the incomplete Line of Life. From that one can conclude that the man would have a long life.
This view is supported by the fact that the Line of the Sun and of Saturn both reach the base of the fingers.
A chain at the base of the thumb, the Heart Line forked at the end and two lines on the Mount of Venus near the base of the thumb speak of two children, but they are thin and that means that there is little chance of happiness resulting from the fact of having two children.
He should use the digital posture designed to strengthen the heart and wear an emerald. It would offset the evil effects of the above hand signs.
10-A, The Left Hand
Notice in this palm the Line of, Saturn which is thick, but which thins out later - a typical example.
10-B, The Right Hand
Is this Line of Life incomplete and the Line of Saturn forked in the beginning?
Handprint 10-A, B
The handprint belongs to a youth of 28 years. It is a heavy hand of which the thumb is large, its second phalange is longer and there is a well-defined island between the phalanges. There is a string of islands clearly visible at the base of the thumb. Except the Mount of Luna all the mounts are developed. The fingers are knotty, the middle finger is inclined towards the third finger and vice versa. The line of sexuality is downwards and the active hand is the right one.
The hand is heavy and wide. Such a person is given to action and is lucky. The fact that the middle and the third fingers are inclined towards one another shows a vacillating natures, out this effect is offset by a large thumb which signifies lots and lots of common sense. The fact that the second phalange of the thumb is longer speaks of the capacity to think in addition to being active. The lines on the right hand are better than those on the left. It means that there is a tendency towards the auspicious.
The challenging element in this hand is the fact that at first sight it appears that the Line of Life is short and the Line of Saturn has two forks in the beginning.
A Line of Saturn with two forks in the beginning signifies a life of want in childhood and also deprivation in the matter of love from parents. But since I know the person from childhood I was surprised because facts belie this conclusion. I studied the lines again and found my error.
In fact the Line of Saturn has merged with the Line of Life in the beginning. What appeared to be a fork of the Line of Saturn turning towards the Mount of Venus is in fact the last part of the Line of Life which encircles the Mount of Venus. And the Line of Saturn representing the age between 21 and 28 years is connected to the Line of Life through a fork of the latter line.
At the age of 28 years the Line of Saturn has a fork which connects it with the Line of Life. Later on it separates from the Line of Life and goes towards the Mount of Saturn. This means that up to the age of 21 the man led a wayward life, but later on till the age of 23 years he lived under the discipline of the family. After 23, he regains self-confidence, but because of the thickness of the Line of Saturn he does not succeed in leading an independent life. The time when success starts is the one when he becomes 32. At that point of time
Another Line of Saturn emerges from the Defensive Mars and goes towards the Mount of Saturn. Another Line of Saturn is thick till it reaches the Head Line. It crosses the Head Line in the 35th year and becomes thin. The first Line of Saturn ends at the Head Line in that year. The two Lines of. Saturn, placed as they are, signify that when he reaches 32, he would enter business in partnership with an outsider and would also continue the family business till the age of 34. After 35 he would continue with the latter business and would sever his relations with the family business.
After the Heart Line a vertical line tends to reach a point in the middle of the base of the fingers (the third and the middle one). It signifies a combination of financial gain and success after 55.
There will not be any shortage of finances because there is an island between the two phalanges of the thumb and the Line of Life is circular.
Let us now look at the other lines. A fork of the Line of Life reaches the Mount of Jupiter which shows that his ambitions would be fulfilled and he would also get patrimony. We now look at the significance of the segment of the Line of Life which is a part of the Line of Saturn. We would apply the rule pertaining to the calculation of age from the Line of Life. Also we have to see its relevance to the Line of Mars. The Line of Mars is non-existent during the ages of 35 and 55 and the lines of sexuality incline towards the Heart Line. This line emerges again at 55 and supports the Line of Life till the age of 75. That means that there would be differences of opinion with the spouse between the years of 35 and 55. There would be a reconciliation later and the man would live to be 75.
I did not think it proper to tell the man about the quarrels between the ages of 35 and 55, but have told him that he would face family problems in this period, which would vanish later in life. The fact of a downward inclined line of sexuality and a line of Mars being in the middle probably signify that his wife might not live long or that she might not keep good health. The re-emergence of the Line of Mars after some time might also speak of a second marriage, but it is not good to make that forecast.
The Head Line is clear till the middle of the palm and later it becomes indistinct and goes to the Defensive Mars. Looking at the basic tendencies of the man one can say that the later portion of this line would also become distinct. The tendencies become apparent from the fact that the lines of the right palm are better than those of the left, The Head Line shows an excellent intellect and wealth.
A cross on the Mount of Luna points towards lack of mental peace and disorders of the stomach. Coming from the lower part of Mount of Luna, an oblique line reaches the middle of the palm and this signifies desire for travel. The time when this desire would be fulfilled would come after 35 when the Line of Saturn thins out.
The Heart Line is thin in the beginning and starts from below the Mount of Jupiter, a sign of a sympathetic nature. The latter portion of the line is thick and has islands over it. This is supported by the Line of Life between the ages of 35 and 55. It shows differences of opinion with the wife. He should take to the digital posture designed to strengthen the heart to remove this defect.
The branches of the Heart Line go to the Head Line which signifies greater pull of the mind. It means that the man is pragmatic. A parallel line over the Heart Line between the Line of Saturn and the Mount of Jupiter point towards a good financial position and also prestige. This time would come after 32.
A tassel at the end of the Heart Line and three clear islands at the-base of the thumb show that he would have three sons. Two of them have been born and the third is a possibility. But, if he takes to family planning and does not want another child that would be a different matter.
The upshot of the whole thing is that this is the handprint of a man who progresses constantly. Between the years of 35 and 55 there might be a marital problem for some time which would vanish ultimately. If he takes to the practice of the digital posture to strengthen the heart he will be healthy till the age of 75.

How different are the right and the left hands?

Identify and count the number of islands in this palm.
Handprint 11-A, B
The handprint belongs to a young lady of 25 whose active hand is the right one. The question she asks is about when her marriage would take place.
The palm is long and the second phalange of the thumb is longer. There is a broken island between the two phalanges. There are one and a half islands on the line on the base of the thumb. The little finger is in a low setting and is long. The Mounts of Jupiter and Mercury are specially developed. The Aggressive Mars is under-developed and the other mounts are of normal development.
The palm being long and the second phalange of the thumb being longer than the first are both signs which Show a weakening of resolve and an increase in mental activity. A long little finger and a developed Mount of Mercury show that she is clever. But the developed Mount of Jupiter adds an element of idealism, which would save her from taking to wicked ways.
There are many inauspicious signs in the left hand, e.g., there is an island in the beginning of the Head Line and another between the Line of Life and the Head Line. An island is formed by the Line of Life and the Line of Mars. Another island is formed by the beginning of the Line of Mercury, the end of the Line of Life and a line of influence. There is still another island at the end of the Head Line.
The lines on the right palm are better than those on the left. It means that there is a tendency towards the auspicious. The effect of the islands on the left paint is half of what it normally is the last island between the Line of Life and the Line of Mars on the left palm is at the age of 28.
There is an island on the Line of Life on the right palm till the age of 21. There are signs that the troubles and problems would lessen after that period, but the effect of the islands on the left palm would persist till the age of 28.
Remedies to offset the effects of the island would have to be used The girl is religious -- she would benefit if she worships Lord Shiva and his consort the Goddess Parvati and keeps fast on Mondays and during Navaratras. That would give her peace of mind and the inauspicious effects would be offset. Let us now look at the right hand. The Line of Saturn has emerged in the 20th year of her life. At this age the girl took up a part time job in addition to her studies. The reason was that the social milieu in which she lives favours a working girl as a bride.
A line of influence emerges from the Line of Life and merges with the Line of Saturn at age 26. That means that marriage is a possibility in that year. This Line of Saturn ends in the 29th year but before that in the 28th year, a line of influence goes towards the Mount of Mercury. This line reaches near a second Line of Saturn to form a triangle, branches out in two forks and ends. This second Line of Saturn starts from near the Defensive Mars in the 29th year. The line of influence going towards the Mount of Mercury form a triangle with the Line of Saturn in the year 29, which is a sure sign that the girl should marry. But, if she had taken remedial action the marriage could take place in the 26th year.
A branch of the second Line of Saturn goes towards the Mount of Apollo, which is a sure sign of success or some achievement. Another Line of Saturn has emerged at age 35 from the Line of Life which ends at the Head Line. The Line of Saturn from the Line of Life indicates a limited achievement, but the other Line of Saturn which has emerged from the Defensive Mars goes further and as it does, it gets support from the supplementary line. Above the Heart Line are two clear lines of Sun which will give success and fame at the age of 50. In fact the period when success and achievements would start commences from the 29th year.
The line of influence coming from the Aggressive Mars intersects the upward lines, but these lines, in addition to producing obstructions are also forming squares which would remove those obstructions. This means that all achievements would come after struggle.
The Head Line on the left hand is defective unto the age of 21. After that it is clear and straight and goes to the Defensive Mars. It indicates a pragmatic nature. The line of influence from the Aggressive Mars intersects it but it also forms squares and triangles. This may cause problems, but no evil would result.
The Heart Line is forked in the beginning and some of its branches are going towards the Head Line, but they do not touch it. That shows that the sentimental side of her nature is stronger but since it is inclined towards the Head Line, she would be pragmatic. Islands on the Heart Line speak of emotional traumas and she should undertake the exercise of digital postures designed to strengthen the heart. A. small parallel segment over the Heart Line gives it support and would provide protection against emotional traumas. It is also auspicious from a financial point of view. The time when this girl is likely to have lots and lots of money would be the 34th and the 35th year, because it is at that time that the Line of the Sun emerges from the Line of Saturn.
The Line of Mars is becoming indistinct in the year 36. It signifies marital problems in that age. Another parallel line of Mars tends to support it which shows that there would be another person who would help the family. It is in this age that the Line of Sun emerges from the Line of the Saturn. It will tend to reduce the fault of the Line of Mars.
At the base of the thumb there are three vertical lines on the Mount of Venus and also one and a half islands at the same place mean that the girl is likely to have three children, out of whom one son and one daughter would help her till the end of her days.
The upshot of the whole thing is that the bad days would start ending from the year 26. After that there would constant progress and happiness. The pace of progress will increase after the year 35 and after the age of 50 most of her desires will be fulfilled.
The Line of Life on the right hand goes till the 70th year. The ascending lines reach the mounts of Saturn and the Sun. She would, therefore, live up to the 75th year. If remedies are taken recourse to, the benefits might start accruing from the year 29.

This belongs to a boy of 17. This is the time in life when one has many questions to which he wants answers. We shall try to answer all of them.
The active hand is the right one and it is wide and heavy. There are vertical stripes on the nails, the thumb is short and there is an incomplete island between its two phalanges. There is a chain at the base of the thumb. The Mount of Venus is over-developed. In the fingerprints there are 6 whorls, two double loops, one dosed loop and one loop. The Mount of Jupiter is under developed the other mounts being of normal development. In the right hand there are two long lines of sexuality which are looking downwards. In the left hand there are two such lines, the upper one is longer and downward looking and the lower one is short, but straight.
Two double loops in the fingerprints and the second phalange of the thumb being longer are sips of a person who is constantly in a dilemma. A short thumb indicates lack of common-sense and six whorls are signs of a person who must have his way. We should now took at the lines keeping these signs in mind.
The Line of Mercury, Saturn and the Head Line have, after many disturbances gone in the directions in which they should. This shows fluctuations and a state of indecision. Many ascending forks of the Line of life point towards the tendency to attempt many things. They also show lack of concentration on any particular task. All these signs are of a person who is indecisive. Vertical Strips on the nails are rare in this age and they mean that the boy is suffering from tension.
Now for the information that he has himself supplied: there is a large family business and the family if waiting for him to complete his education and join it. But the boy has other ideas. But he is not clear about what he should do. Since it is the right hand which is active, we mould, in the main, concentrate on it.
The Line of Life is circular and the hand is heavy. These two signs tend to convert the inauspicious into the auspicious. The line is forked at the end, one of the forks going towards the Mount of Luna. It shows foreign travel being a possibility. The time when he would undertake it would be the period when the Line of the Sun emerges.
The first segment of the Line of the Sun rises as a branch of the Line of Life. At first sight it looks like the Line of Mercury, but is, in fact, the Line of the Sun. It emerges at age 25. This is the time when the boy would marry. The Line of the Sun goes towards the Mount of Mercury and stops at age 29. Another segment of the line starts in the 30th year. This underground of one year is a year of dilemma. The dilemma is whether he should join the family business or strike on his own, He should take to remedial action to remove this dilemma. The remedy is that he should wear a topaz to strengthen the under-developed Mount of Jupiter. That would give him sagacity to solve this dilemma and the above faults would be removed.
The time when achievements and success start is the 30th year of his life, because in this age the ascending branches of the Line of Life are constantly emerging. The Line of Mercury which is parallel to the Line of the Sun emerges in the 32nd year. One segment of the Line of Mercury ends in the 33rd year and a new segment is starting which shows change of business. The Sun Line has vanished in this age which hinders progress. A new Line of Saturn emerges from the Head Line in the 36th year which is supporting the Line of Mercury. The latter line shows a tendency towards amassing wealth rather than gaining a good name. This Line of the Saturn meets the Heart Line and goes to the upper edge of the Mount of Saturn. It is a sign of wealth, but not of any tendency towards charity or benevolence towards one's fellow beings. After the Head Line, the Line of the Sun is clear. That is a sign that all the dilemmas would vanish after 35. All his desires would be fulfilled after the age of 50. He would get not only wealth, but also fame, because after that age in addition to a clear Sun Line there are two parallel lines on the Mount of Mercury.
The Head Line has many branches. Some of them are going towards the Defensive Mars and others towards the Mount of Luna. But the main branch of the tine inclines towards the Mount of Luna. Many forks of the Head Line point towards dilemmas. This period, as we have stated earlier, is between the 29th and the 30th year.
The Heart Line is like a twisted rope. It shows a bad psychological situation and emotional trauma. The Line of Mars is indistinct after the 34th year and this in conjuction with a downward Line of Sexuality means that after the 33rd year there would be discord in matrimonial relations or the health of the wife would be adversely affected.
The over-developed Mount of Venus and two clear tines of progeny on the mount near the base of the thumb indicate that two children would be born. The Line of Life is long. Its upward branches have gone to the base of the fingers and that means that this person would live to be 80.
Horizontal lines on the Mount of Luna and the defective Heart Line' indicate that his health might be indifferent, but who bothers about the possibility of ill health when he is so young. This is the age when boys and girls see dreams and most of them are pleasant dreams. The heavy hand is auspicious. If he wears a topaz now he would be better able to deal with the dilemmas he would face between the ages of 29 and 30.
13-A, The Left Hand
There is no Heart Line in either hand.
13-B, The Right Hand
Look carefully at the Line of Life in both the hands and say whether it is forked at the end or is it something else?
Handprint 13-A, B
This is the handprint of a young man of 30 whose active hand is the right one. It is as firm hand. The colour of the nails is white and they have vertical stripes.
If you look at the fingerprints you would find double loops on both the thumbs. On the fingers there are six whorls and two loops. The nails are of normal size and there are vertical strips over them. The size of the thumb is also normal, with the first phalange being shorter and the second larger. There is a broken line at the junction of the two phalanges and a chain at the base of the thumb. The Aggressive Mars is under-developed, but the other mounts are of normal development. In the right palm there is one straight line of sexuality. In the left there are two forked lines and they look downwards.
A peculiarity of this hand is that instead of the Heart and the Head Line there is only one line. If this single line had been between the normal positions of these lines we could have called it the Simian line, but it is near the place where the Head Line should be and that is why it is the Head Line. In other words we can say that there is no Heart Line in the hand, which means that the person is not sentimental but one who would think of his own interest before he does anything.
Double loops in both the thumbs and the second phalange of the thumb being longer are the signs of a person who is always on the horns of a dilemma. There are six whorts on the fingers and the distance between the points of origin of the Head Line and the Line of Life is more than normal. These signs speak of a person who must have his way. In other words, a person who is indecisive, but wants others to act according to his wishes. This tendency comes in the way of success and is the cue of the lines being faulty.
According to what he told me, he has studied up to B.Com. And is working for a firm. He wants to get an M. Com. Degree so that he could become a chartered accountant, but he fails every year. But he is determined to get through and get the degree.
His second wish is to leave the job and to start some business venture. He wanted me to him whether he should resign his job. We would study the hand signs in view of this query and would also find answers to other possible queries he might have in mind.
The Line of Life is forked in the beginning and is straight up to 21 years. In the left hand the Line of Life is circular in the beginning, in the 21st year one of its branches goes towards the Mount of Jupiter. Both these lines end at the Head Line. It means that there are trouble till the age of 21 from which point things have started improving.
In both the hands, the Line of Mercury starts from within the Line of Life which intersects this line at 55 and then stops. This type of Line of Mercury gives rise to an impression that the Line of Life is forked at the end. It ends, in fact, towards the Mount of Luna.
This could have two interpretations: First the man might travel abroad after the 42nd year because it is then that a line of influence from the Head Line goes to the Line of the Sun and the Line of Saturn gets rid of its fault at that point of time. But the Line of life going to the Mount of Luna has two forks at the end. It means that difficulties might arise during that journey and remedial action should be taken now.
The second interpretation of these signs is that the Line of Mercury intersects the Line of Life between the ages of 50 and 55. A health problem might arise during that period. The man should use the digital posture designed to strengthen the vital force from now onwards.
In the right hand a segment of a line has passed through the Defensive Mars and has gone towards the Line of Saturn. This happens in the 33rd year. This segment forms an incomplete island when it meets the Line of Saturn. This island would show its effect till the 42nd year. He should not undertake any new risks till the age of 42. He should continue doing what he is doing now and should give up the idea of getting an M.Com degree. His lines do not favour such a course of action.
In the left hand the Line of Saturn emerges from the Mount of Luna in the 30th year which is intersected by the lines of influence in the 32nd and the 34th year. A branch going from the Line of Life towards the Mount of Saturn emerges in the 32nd year which becomes indistinct as it goes further. There are prospects of gain in the 32nd year but the gain would not be permanent. This gain should be converted into a bank balance and should.be preserved. No risk like a business venture should be undertaken before the 42nd year.
In the space between the Line of Life and the Head Line many lines intersect each other. These result in family troubles which will need a lot of sagacity to deal with. He should start wearing a topaz from now onwards.
In the right hand the branches of the Line of Life going towards the Aggressive Mars, help to strengthen the under-developed Aggressive Mars. The result is that the man never loses courage. A line of influence emerges from the Aggressive Mars and goes towards the Mount of Jupiter. It shows ambition, but, as we have already stated, the time when that ambition would be fulfilled is the 42nd year of life.
The period between the 42nd and the 50th year is the best period of life. In the 50th year a line of influence going towards the Mount of Apollo intersects the Line of Saturn and another parallel line overlaps the broken segment of the line. These three lines form two triangles under the Mount of Saturn, which signify wealth after the 50th year. But, since there is a cross too, difficulties and problems would arise. He must take care of his health in that age because the Line of Mercury intersects the Line of Life, This is the time when he should be careful about his health.
A fragmented oblique line on the Mount of Luna gives a clue towards the diseases to which the man might fall a prey. He must beware of disorders of the throat, the chest and the stomach. The fact that his nails are white in colour speaks of lack of haemoglobin in his blood which he should get examined and the dietary regimen suggested by his physician should be strictly followed. These precautions would remove this fault by the 55th year Vertical stripes on the nails speak of the tensions he is labouring under. He should do acts of charity like feeding the birds or helping the poor and should also pray to his favourite deity. If he does this he should have excellent health till the age of 75.
A chain at the base of the thumb and a long and a short line on the Mount of Venus in both the hands under the thumbs speak of Many children but only one son and one daughter would be with him till the end of his days.
14-A, The Left Hand
The Line of Life in this hand is likely to confuse one.
14-B, The Right Hand
All the main lines are thick, and the Line of Life is short.
Handprint 14-A, B
This is the handprint of a 28-year old youth, who is a semi-skilled worker whose active hand is the right one.
The hand is hard, the nails are small with large stripes over them, the thumb is normal with too second phalange larger and the mounts of Jupiter and Apollo, together with the Aggressive Mars are under-developed. Mount of Mercury is developed and the other mounts are normal in development.
Persons with hard hands and small nails do not accept new ideas. The fact that the mounts of Jupiter and Apollo are under-developed and the Mount of Mercury is developed signifies that the man gives pride of place to his own self-interest and that social prestige or fame have no place in his scheme of things.
The main lines and the Line of Mars are thick. The Line of Life in the right hand is straight which, at first sight, appears to be the Line of Saturn and the Line of Life on the left palm is not only straight, but also short. These signs come in the way of the man getting full results from his endeavours. The incomplete Line of Life signifies rot only financial but also family problems.
In the right palm the Line of Life has gone up to the Mount of Luna. In the hand of a rich man this could be the sign of travel abroad, but for a poor man, which this man is, even travelling from Bihar to Delhi is like travelling to foreign lands.
The Line of Mars is thick and has two branches which speaks of marital troubles. This line thins out after the 32nd year and remains away from the Line of Life, which is a sign of another marriage or extra-marital relations.
There are many Lines of Saturn in this hand, but the first Line of Saturn in the right hand emerges from the Mount of Luna in the 22nd year. It vanishes in the 24th year and reappears in the 28th. The period from the 24th to the 28th year is not good either for finances or for the family. After the 28th year the line becomes distinct. In the 29th year the Line of the Sun emerges from the Line of Life and in the 30th a line of Saturn emerges from it. I: means that the period after the 28th year is a time of constant gain.
The Line of Saturn which has emerged from the Line of Life disappears at age 40, but the other line which has emerged from the Mount of Luna continues. In the 42nd year the Sun Line emerges from the Head Line. All these signs offset the defects of the incomplete Line of Saturn, but full benefit of the Line of the Sun will not be available because the Mount of Apollo is depressed. It means that he would get the results of his endeavours but it would not be commensurate with the labour put in.
The Head Line and the Line of Life are combined for a long time, they separate at age 21. Till that age the person has suffered from a sense of inferiority. His brain has developed after that point of time. The Head Line being thick it is clear that financial difficulties continue to chase the man.
The Heart Line is thick and long and has emerged from near the index finger. That means that the man has high expectations from his wife, family and friends and when they are not fulfilled he has a sense of dejection. The result is that the Heart Line has become faulty.
From the right hand you would see that the Line of Mercury has reached near the Line of Life to cross it at age 55 but has stopped short of it. This gives the impression that the Line of Life has two branches at the end. Let us look at the Line of Mercury in the left hand which crosses the Line of Life in the 50th year. It is inauspicious because after this the line of Mercury and other lines of influence form an island, which is injurious to health. He should practise the digital posture designed to strengthen the vital force so that he can keep healthy till the age of 65.
At the base of the thumb there are three lines of children -- two long and the other short. It means that he would have two sons and one daughter. He should wait till the 30th year for good times, should worship God and should wear a copper ring to strengthen the mounts of Jupiter and the Sun.
15-A, The Left Hand
A good example of a hand with many lines.
15-B, The Right Hand
All the main lines except the Heart Line are thin.
Handprint 15-A, B
It belongs to a 58-year old woman whose active hand is the left.
There are vertical strips on the nails, the first phalange of the thumb is long and the island between the two phalanges is broken. The Mount of Jupiter is aver-developed, while the mounts of Venus and Aggressive Mars are under-developed. The other mounts are of normal development. There is a chain at the base of the thumb. The lines of sexuality in the right hand are short and forked.
There are two lines of sexuality in the left hand and they are inclined towards the Heart Line.
Too many lines in a land indicate a personality whose mind is active on various channels. The fact that the first phalange of the thumb is longer indicates resoluteness. Vertical lines on the nails speak of tension and depression. In spite of the fact that lines on her hand are thin and auspicious, she is bereft of peace of mind and is under tensions. Let us go into some detail and find out the reason why.
One look at the hand and you feel that this is the hand of a very ambitious lady, because in both the hands the Line of Life has emerged from the Mount of Jupiter or its branches have gone to this mount. The mount itself is well-developed. All these signs speak of overweening ambition. And excess of ambition brings disquiet.
A line of influence touches the Line of Saturn in the left hand at age 21. This acts as a bridge between this line and the Line of Life. Later there is another line of influence between the Line of Saturn and the Line of Life which continues. Till the 30th year. In the right hand the line of Saturn starts with an island and the island has continued fill the 26th year. All these signs speak of a life of want till the age of 21 and there was no happiness from the parents. For confirmation of this, notice the island and broken lines between the Head Line and the Line of Life during this period. Till the 26th year there have been problems of every kind and for 30 years she has been subjected to family pressures.
A line of influence emerges from the Mount of Luna at age 21 and meets the Line of Saturn in the 30th year, That means that the lady had a love affair, but because of the opposition from the family there have been' obstructions to the fulfilment of her ,desire to join her paramour. But being a very determined person she has married him in spite of the opposition from the family.
Except the Heart Line all other main lines are thin and deep. It was the fault in the Heart Line which created obstructions in her love affair: the fact that the Heart Line has started as a tassel under the Mount of Saturn shows that her love affair was based on selfish motives.
The Mount of Venus is undeveloped but the grill on it makes it as effective as a developed one. The hue of sexuality is downward looking the Line of Mars in the left hand is incomplete which means that her relation was never happy and that she carried on somehow or the other. There is self-interest involved in this because the financial position of her husband is better. She does not clearly accept this face, however. She has to pay for her ambition through depression and tension from which she suffers.
The Line of the Sun emerges from the Line of Saturn in the 32nd year. Because of a line of influence there is a triangle at the starting point of the Line of the Sun. It signifies success in relationships. In the 42nd year the Line of Saturn emerges from the Line of Life which nears the Heart Line and along with a line of influence reaches the Mount of Saturn. But an axe line also is found going along the Line of Saturn. This signifies financial gain after the 50th year but there are also problems. Near the fingers some lines make tassels which speak of lack of peace of mind after middle age. All these signs can be interpreted to mean that between 30 and 50 she had a happy life but later on there is a disturbance in the relations. The reason for this is that her marital life is not happy. It is because the Line of Mars has vanished from her left palm in her 50th year. But this line continues in her right hand. That is why her relations with the spouse have not broken up, but have continued somehow or the other.
There is an island in the Line of Life in the left hand after the 65th year. In the right palm the Line of Life stops at this age which shows loss of health. It may be due to a nervous breakdown which is evidenced by the mass of oblique lines on the palm. It may be good from a financial point of view but very bad for her peace of mind.
She should undertake exercises to watch her breath and regain her peace of mind. She should also engage in acts of charity and dedicate herself to her favourite deity. She should also use the digital postures designed to increase the vital force so that her health improves from now onwards and she can ward off the evil which is in store for her in her 65th year.
16-A, The Left Hand
Lines which are neither thick, nor thin.
16-B, The Right Hand
See the point of origin of the Line of Saturn. Is it forked? Or, is it something else?
Handprint 16-A, B
It belongs to a youth of 19 whose active hand is the left one.
The hand is heavy, large and pliable. In the fingerprints there are 6 whorls one double loop, one closed loop and two normal loops. The thumb is short, the second phalange being larger. Between the phalanges of the thumb is an incomplete island. At the base is a large, but incomplete island. The fingers are thick and even when spread like a fan they tend to stay close to each other. The Defensive Mars is undeveloped while the mounts are of normal development. The line of sexuality in both the hands is near the little finger and not the Heart Line. He wants to know when he would get wealth.
Six whorls in the fingerprints and thick fingers which tend to stay close to each other in spite of their being spread and a short thumb are all signs of a person who does not easily change his views. But a soft skin and the large second phalange of the thumb tend to mollify the evil effect of these signs. Except the Defensive Mars all the mounts are of normal development. The heavy hand is also an auspicious sign which reduces the evil effect of the inauspicious lines. Thick fingers in a heavy hand and the short distance between them even when spread do not speak of a person who could engage in trade. Nor are they auspicious signs for a studious mind. But these signs are good for industry and production. When his efforts would bear fruit can be known from a study of the lines.
Taking the left hand as the main object of study we now see the lines.
The Line of Life is circular and ends towards the Mount of Luna which shows that there is a possibility of foreign travel. The time when this would be a possibility is the 32nd year, as we see from the Lines of the Sun. There is no Line of Mars in this hand which shows that the man does not want any cooperation from any quarter. It is possible that he would stand on his own feet.
The Line of Life which appears to have two branches at the-end or in the beginning of the Line of Saturn is a very confusing sign. The Line of Saturn has emerged from near the wrist (from the lower end of the Mount of Venus) and after having crossed the Line of Life enters the area of Saturn in the 20th year. This Line of Saturn meets another which has emerged from the Mount of Luna. This meeting point of the two lines creates the impression that the Line of Life has two forks at the end and the Line of Saturn begins with two forks. In fact this is the Line of Saturn which has emerged from the Mount of Venus. Another Line of Saturn emerges from the Mount of Luna and this combination creates a confusion.
The Line of Saturn which has emerged from the Mount of Venus is an indication that this person would remain under the influence of his family till the 21st year. Afterwards, he would join the family business. But, in addition to that, he would have some part-time work. In the 26th year the part-time job would be converted into a full-time one.
Another Line of influence emerging from the Line of Life meets the Line of Saturn in the 30th year the junction of all these Mac's looks like the sign of the fish between the Line of Life and the Line of Saturn. This sign is in the area of Saturn and that is why the rule for the calculation of age from Saturn applies here. It can be interpreted to mean that the time between the ages of 21 and is the time of financial gain.
The Line of Saturn coming from the Mount of Venus meets the one coming from the Mount of Luna in the 2601 year which signifies marriage of the Youngman. The conclusion is supported by the line of sexuality which is nearer the little finger rather than the Heart Line, which indicates marriage after the 25th year.
Lines of the Sun are merging from the Line of Saturn in the 31st and the 32nd years. They form many triangles in con action with the Head Line. Above the Head Line too many lines of influence form triangles. This is a sign that after the 30th and the 35th year there would be many gains in the matter of finances and property. There would also be fluctuations because the lines of influence do not go to the end.
In left hand a line of the Sun starts from the Head Line Which is bisected by a line of influence in the 35th year. This line has come from the Aggressive Mars. This bisected by influence line. It is an indication of a love affair in that age, which might bring some disrepute, but because the Line of the Sun continues till the end this possibility of a bad north might be warded off.
The Heart Line is emerging from below the Mount of Saturn and except the beginning and the end of the Heart Line there is no fork or branch in between. There is a short Line of the Mars but it is indistinct. These signs speak of lack of responsibility in sexual relations. But this is for the students to understand -- how much the client is to be told depends on their discretion and judgement.
The Heart Line has many forks in the beginning which shows that the man would get financial gain from his parents.
At the base of the thumb is a large island which is broken. At the end of the Heart Line there is only one fork. Near the base of the thumb there is one long and two short lines. All these lines of progeny indicate that in the final analysis the man would have only one child.
The Line of Life is thick after the 50th year that is time when family problems are likely to crop up. After the 63rd year there is a short parallel line under the Line of Life which accompanies it till the end. This line tends to offset the inauspicious effects of the Line of Life. That means that after some trouble in the 65th year the man would live to be 75.
The gist of the whole thing is that from the point of view of finances and also health the man is lucky.
17-A, The Left Hand
Look at the peculiarity of the Line of Life in both the hands and calculate the age till which the owner of his hand would live.
17-B, The Right Hand
Note the difference between the Heart Lines on the two hands.
Handprint 17-A, B
The handprint belongs to a 40-year old businessman whose active hand is the right one.
The thumb is large. There are two lines between the two phalanges of the right thumb. Between the phalanges of the left thumb there is a broken island. On the base of the right thumb there are two large islands while there is one large island on the base of the left thumb. There is not much distance between the fingers when they are spread. The little finger is long and the mounts of Venus, Jupiter and the Aggressive Mars are under-developed. The mounts of the Sun and the Mercury are developed. The other mounts are of normal development. In the right hand the line of sexuality which is above the other one is long but downward looking. There are two straight lines of sexuality in the left hand. There are eight whorls and two closed loops in the fingerprints.
The man wants to give up his share in the family business in which his brothers are partners and wants to strike on his own in a (afferent city. He wants to know whether he should do it or not.
Let us study the hand signs with this query in view. Later, we shall come to other matters. The Line of Life is straight in both the hands. In the right hand there is an axe line with the Line of Life which continues till the 28th year. In the 30th year the Line of Life has two branches, the smaller branch or fork looks towards Mars. The larger one looks towards Saturn. The large branch is clear till the 40th year and becomes indistinct later on. In the left palm a branch of the Line of Life touches the Line of Saturn.
A straight Line of Life, a Line of Life with an axe line -- both these conjunctions point towards family problems. Normally a small Line of Life indicates a short life, but, in fact, it is not so. Here keeping in view the query our client has made, the short Line of Life is an indication of change of place.
In the right palm there is a depression under the mounts of Sun and Saturn near the Line of Saturn. According to the rule applicable to the Line of Saturn the time would be between the 33rd and the 40th year. This is a period of serious difficulties but it is now conning to an end. That is why a change of place is a certainty. The effect of the depression is over after the 40th year and the branch of the Line of Life in the left palm has touched the Line of Saturn. The Line of Saturn gives support to the Line of Life and that means that the time of difficulties is almost over.
In the 30th year a line starts from the Defensive Mars and goes towards the mounts of Mercury and the Sun. A line ends between the 30th and the 40th year. Another line which starts from the area of Saturn earlier than that, covers it. This other line stops at the Heart Line. This is a sure sign of the change of business/place. But, what one has to find out is whether this change is for the good or has any evil consequences. The answer is that the change is all for the good because in the 40th year the evil effect of the depression in the palm is ending. Lines of influence which intersect the Line of Saturn and the Line of Mercury have their effect till the 40th year. After that there are no obstructions. The Sun Line is clear in the left palm after the age of 35.
Let us now interpret the other signs of the hand.
The Head Line starts from the Aggressive Mare which shows the amount of anger in the man. The eight whorls on the fingerprints and the short distance between the fingers when spread, points to a man of fixed views who does not change easily. The Head Line has (two branches) from the very beginning. It shows that in the beginning there is financial gain. It is due to patrimony in the form of ancestral property which, when sold, gives him a lot of money. This is the capital which has helped him to start a new venture in a different city.
In the Line of Saturn on the right palm there is an island between the ages of 20 and, 23. One of the lines which to this island goes toward the Mount of Luna which is a sign of mental disquiet. The broken island between the two phalanges of the thumb is not good for the man's finances, but there are many triangles near the Line of Saturn in the right hand. In the left, there is a large rectangle between the ages of 21 and 33. There are two triangles after that. All these signs are indicative of removal if all difficulties from a financial point of view. The Mount of Mercury is well-developed, the little finger is long and the Mount of Apollo is also well-developed. All these make for a comfortable financial position. The Mount of Jupiter is under-developed which in conjuction with the developed Mount of Mercury and a long little finger could lead the man astray and he could take to evil ways. But, he has beautiful Rings of Solomon in both the hands which seek to reduce the tendency towards self-centredness caused by the developed Mount of Mercury and a long little finger. This man will never make money out of anti-social things.
The lines of sexuality in the right hand look downwards which tend to cause discord between the husband and the wife. To know the time when this discord would raise its ugly head, look at the Line of Mars. It becomes indistinct at the age of 55. In the 65th year a new line of Mars starts from another point. These ten years are a difficult period from the point of health as well as marital life. Later on, the situation would improve. The cause of marital discord is the dictatorial nature of the man. It is caused by the Heart Line which in the left palm goes from one end to the other and is twisted like a rope. In the Right hand the Heart Line is short, but one arm of the Girdle of Venus supports it to give the man psychological strength. But, he must curb his dictatorial nature and also emotions so that he can understand the sentiments of his wife. He should wear a topaz which will help him to acquire the sense of proportion and discretion in marital affairs. The distorted shape of the mounts of Mercury and Apollo is due to corn like surfaces on the palms. To get rid of the fault of the Line of Life he should undertake the exercise of digital postures designed to strengthen the heart so that he can live a happy life after the age of 55 and also to maintain good health. At the base of the right thumb there are two large islands and at the base of the two thumbs two clear lines emanating from the Mount of Venus indicate that he would have two children who would be a source of happiness for him till the end of his days. The remedies suggested above would give him strength and he can expect to be healthy and happy after 55. He should also wear a copper ring or a coral to remove the fault of an under-developed Mars.
18-A, The Left Hand
There is a difference between the Line of Lire and the Line of Mars in the two hands.
18-B, The Right Hand
The disorted shape of the mounts of Mercury and Apollo is due to corn like surfaces on the palms.
Handprint 18-A, B
The handprint belongs to a 40-year old travel agent whose active hand is the right one.
The hand is hard and the fingers tend to stay close to each other even when they are spread. There are seven whorls in the fingerprints. The first phalange of the thumb is short. There are two broken lines between the two phalanges of the thumb and there are vertical stripes on the nails. The Mount of Jupiter, Defensive Mars and the Mount of Luna are undeveloped, the other mounts being normal in development. There is one line of sexuality in the right hand which is downward looking. In the left there is one line of sexuality which is straight. In the left hand there are hard spaces resembling corns on the Mount of Apollo and the Mount of Mercury which have been caused by driving a motor cycle and carrying a heavy bag.
The main question is about marital life and the time when he would get ahead in the world.
First we should look at the line of sexuality to know about his marital life. In the right palm it is downward looking. Later we will take a look at the Line of Life and the Line of Mars.
The Line of Life in the right hand is straight and finishes off in the 30th year. The Line of Mars too becomes indistinct in this year. Later it vanishes and reappears in the 65th year. The Line of Life is circular and long in the left hand but there is an elongated island till the age of 21. It shows family problems from the very beginning, but the active hand is the right one according to which there are many problems in the family and marital life. The other lines parallel to the Line of Mars provide support which give strength to the man.
The earlier part of the Line of Saturn is forked. It shows that the person was deprived of the love of parents in his childhood. A triangle adjacent to the Line of Saturn between the years 28 to 32 signifies financial gain during this period, but it is this period during which the Line of Mars stops and becomes indistinct. That is why marital problems have become more serious in this period. The man himself says that during that period he had secured good job but members of his wife's family somehow managed to have him dismissed. Going into details he informed me that the family of his wife is better off financially than he is. Socially too that family is better than his own. He says that his Wife's family, under whose influence the wife and his children are, cannot countenance the idea that he should rise above his present status and managed to have his services terminated whenever he is able to secure a good job.
The man may be right when he is that his wife's family is socially and financially better than his own but if that family comes in the way of his progress it is due to his own stubborn nature. The signs of such a nature are all there -a hard hand, the fingers, which stay close to each other even when spread and the multiplicity of whorls in his fingerprints. The Head Line in the left hand has started from the Aggressive Mars. All these signs show that the Mal is incapable of adapting himself to the circumstances and his wife is probably of a strong character who cannot abide by his stubborn nature. It is because of this that she goes and stays with her parents. But, then, every person justifies his own behaviour. One has, therefore, to point out these things indirectly. Alternatively, one must remain mum on this issue.
Whatever the reason his life is full of struggle till the age of 42, because the Line of Saturn is thick till the age of 35 after which it thins out, This thin Line of Saturn ends .it the Head Line in the 42nd year. A new Line of Saturn emerges from another point on the Head Line in this year. From another point in the Head Line another thin Line of Saturn emerges. Both these lines are indicative of a beneficial change in that year. The man must rest content for the next two years and keep his peace.
The Heart Line in the left hand is thick and the one in the right hand has forks which are heading towards the Head Line. It tends to strengthen the Head Line and sentiments remain subdued. A line parallel to the Heart Line starts from the base of the index finger strengthen the Heart Line again. That is how the fault of the Heart Line is removed and the Line of Life is also improved because its fault has been reduced to a great extent. Had this not been so the short Line of Life would have meant a short life. Looking at the Heart Line we can say that he will live a full life which might be more than 75 years because a segment of the Line of Mars makes up for the final part of the short Line of Life.
There does not appear to be any marital or family happiness in store for him. The only ray of hope for him is that the last obstacle he would face would be in his 42nd year. Afterwards it would be financial security, but in order to make that state of affairs permanent he must learn to compromise. The Mount of Jupiter should, for that purpose, be strengthened and for that wearing a topaz is the right stone. If he cannot afford a topaz he should wear copper and undertake the exercise to watch one's breath. That would give him peace of mind. It would help him to develop a balanced state of mind.
19-A, The Left Hand
The junction of the Line of Luna and the Line of Mercury gives the false impression of a line of intuition.
19-B, The Right Hand
Notice the distance between the Line of Life and the Head Line.
Handprint 19-A, B
It is the handprint of a 37 year old woman entrepreneur whose active hand is the right one.
The thumb is large and there is a distinct island between the two phalanges of the right hand. In the left hand there is a string of islands and a chain at the base of the thumb. The index finger is short and the third finger long. The fingers are placed in the shape of an arch. When spread the fingers are not much distant from each other. The Mount of Mercury is well-developed and the Aggressive Mars is under-developed. The other mounts are normal in development.
The lady is in the garment export business and wants to expand it. Her question is whether the present is the right time to do so.
We would look at the lines of the palm, particularly those of the right palm, first with this query in view.
There is an island in the middle of the thumb. The mount of Mercury is developed and the fingers are placed in the shape of an arch. These are auspicious signs from the point of view of financial gain. To know which is the best time. We cast a look on the lines.
The Sun Line arises after the 36th year and between the ages of 35 and 40 there is a triangle adjacent to the Line of Saturn. The Line of Mercury is improved after the 28th year. After 35 the Line of Mercury is clear and is inclined towards a point between the mounts of Mercury and Apollo. After the 42nd year a clear Line of Saturn has emerged. All these signs point towards profits from business. The time is ripe to expand the business but its good results would become apparent in the 42nd year, when a thin Line of Saturn emerges from the Head Line.
Let us now look at the hand from the point of view of student of palmistry. From the financial point of view this is a good hand but from the point of view of a family and marital life it is not good.
The line of sexuality is downward looking, the Line of Mars is fragmented and is constantly away from the Line of Life. It signifies distanced relations with the spouse or differences of opinion between them. The reasons will be apparent when we study the other signs.
The Line of Life and the Head Line have arisen at a distance from each other and there are many short lines between the two. The thick branch of the Heart Line meets the Head Line. The fingers appear to be close to each other in spite of their being spread. The thumb and the third finger are long. These are the signs of a woman with a strong personality. Had the husband been of a pliable nature, a compromise could have been reached, but, it appears that he too is a man of a strong character and stubborn. This has led to faults in the Line of Mars and other lines. The Heart Line and the Head Line are thick The Line of Life is comparatively thicker in the right palm, which also signifies a life of struggle and family troubles.
According to her own statement the woman lives separately from her husband for the past ten years, but no divorce has resulted. She is too busy to run her business to think at obtaining a divorce.
In the 21st year a line emerging from the Mount of Luna meets the Line of Saturn in the 25th year. From this meeting point till the age of 28 there is a multiplicity of lines which vitiate the Line of Saturn. From that year onwards the Line of Saturn improves a little bit when the Line of Mercury emerges from there which is inclined somewhat towards the Mount of Apollo. This shows that she married in her 21st year. The marital discord started in the 25th year and from the 28th year she started her own business.
Between the ages of 28 and 35 there is a triangle adjacent to the Line of Saturn which is indicative of financial gain. On the other side (the one towards the Line at Life) of the Line of Saturn on the right palm thin is an island between the ages of 30 and 36. Between 35 and 42 there are two triangles, Near the Line of Saturn there is a sign of the fish or an elongated square between the Line of Saturn and the Line of Mercury. This means that between the ages of 28 and 42 while there has been gain from many sides there have been losses too.
But on the whole, there has been financial gain.
In the age of 23 a line of influence emerges out of the cross on the Mount of Luna and meets the Line of Mercury/Sun at age 32. This line of influence is intersected by Oblique lines between the ages of 26 and 28. This could mean a partnership, a love affair or both. The lady says that it was a partnership. She is not clearly saying whether it was a love affair, but, I think that in the beginning it was a partnership. After some obstacles which appeared between the ages of 26 and 30, it turned into a love affair. Probably it is because of this that there has been discord with her husband, because a line of influence from the Mount of Luna is there in the left hand too, but the time is different. I would, however, like it that the period indicated by the right is the right one.
A circular line emerging from the Mount of Luna meets the Line of Mercury which appears to be a line of intuition. But this has the effect of half as line of intuition, which is indicative of a business acumen, imaginativeness and common sense.
After the age of 35 the Line of Life is constantly thick. The incomplete, short lines of the Mount of Mars would not let the family relation remain sweet. There is danger that as there is financial gain there would be family problems too. The index finger or the Mount of Jupiter roust be strengthened to ward off those problems, so that the effect of the Mount of Mercury-- selfishness -- could be mollified. Topaz would be the proper stone for her to wear.
On the base of the left thumb there are four lines of progeny. In the right hand there is one distinct line, which means that more children are possible, but only one would support his/her mother. The lady says she has two daughters both of whom live with her.
The Line of Mercury intersects the thick Line of Life in the 63rd year, which indicates loss of health in this age. In order to know what diseases she is in danger of suffering from, look at the many crosses lines on the Mount of Luna. The Heart Line is like a thick rope and there are many influence lines making crosses on the palms. These signs show that she should beware of diseases of the nervous system, heart ailments and hypertension. She should use the digital postures to strengthen the vital force, the heart and the brain. That would save her from any health problem in the 63rd year.
The supplementary line above the Heart Line tends to reduce the fault of the Heart Line. The Line of Mercury intersects the Line of Life, even after that the Line of Life continues which shows a long life. She should use the above remedies to have a happy and long life.
20-A, The Left Hand
The number of lines are limited and they are thick.
20-B, The Right Hand
There is no Line of Saturn in the hand, but there is one in the right.
Handprint 20-A, B
The handprint belongs to a 21-year old youth, whose active hand is the right one.
The hand is hard, the thumb long and its second phalange longer of the two. There are two short lines on the junction of the two phalanges of the thumb and a chain of islands at its base. The little finger is short and is in a low setting. The Mount of Venus is well-developed but the other mounts are of normal development. There is one line of sexuality in the right palm situated slightly above the middle portion of the Heart Line near the little finger. There are two lines of sexuality on the left palm, the upper one is long and the lower one short. There are nine whorls in the fingerprints.
Normally a person in this age group wants to know about his marriage and his career.
A person with a hard hand is not afraid of hard work and does not change his views lightly. The number of whorls in the fingerprints supports the view that he is of fixed ideas.
A long thumb is are indication of sagacity. The second phalange of the thumb being long shows that he is able to make plans, but because of the shortness of the first phalange, the plans do not come to fruition. The little finger is short and is placed in a low setting. Such a person is generally simple-minded and suffers from a sense of inferiority.
If the number of lines in a palm is limited, it becomes difficult to make any predictions. It also signifies that there will not be many ups and downs in life. Progress of such a person would always be slow.
The thick line indicates struggle, but a gain which is not commensurate with the efforts put in. Two broken lines between the phalanges of the thumb also support this view.
There is a Line of Saturn in the right hand, but it is missing in the left. This shows that the person is trying to rise above the social position of his family.
The question is when this desire of his would be fulfilled. Let us try to answer this question and find out when the good times would come.
The Line of Life is thick in the beginning and there are islands over it. His childhood has passed in want. The Line of Life in the right palm has become thin in the 35th year. This is the time when his fortunes would be in the ascendant. In the right palm a faint Line of Saturn has emerged in the 26th year and it has become distinct in the 35th year. Let us also look at the lines of sexuality in addition to this Line of Saturn Which emerged in the 26th year. Those lines are a little above the middle of the palm. That means that there is a possibility of marriage in the 26th year and his fortunes would start improving from that time onwards. Greater improvement should come in the 35th year.
In the 35th year a line parallel to the indistinct Line of Saturn emerges from the Line of Life but it is not yet well-defined. One can hope that it would become distinct, because the tendency is towards improvement. The reason for this is that the lines on the right palm are better than those on the left. In the 35th year financial gain and better prospects in a job are indicated.
There being no Line of Mars means that there is no hope of any help or cooperation from any quarter and the man has to march forward on his own. The fact of his not being able to get any help from anybody is confirmed by the hardness of the hand, and the multiplicity of whorls in the fingerprints. These signs show a wayward nature of the man. The Heart Line is long in the right hand and short in the left one, but in the left palm there is a parallel line above the Heart Line which tends to reduce the fault of a short Heart Line. The Line of Life is also long and without any obstructions. A developed Mount of Venus is an indication of a considerable vital force, it shows that he has the capacity to ward off all kinds of diseases. It is possible that he would be healthy till the age of 75.
The Line of Life has two forks at the end, one of which goes towards the Mount of Luna. This shows a tendency for the man to settle at a place other than the one where he was born. He was born in Uttrakhand but has settled in Delhi which confirms the reading. But the man wants to go abroad. His desire would be fulfilled after 35.
A vertical line on the Mount of Apollo is an indication that the person might have all his desires fulfilled after the age of 60. But that time is far off. But by that time there is a possibility that many changes might take place. If he takes remedial action the fortunate time could be advanced.
There are two distinct islands at the base of the thumb and two clear lines on the Mount of Venus near the right thumb are a clear indication that he would have two children.
He must wear an iron ring to bring forward the happy times when he would be able to make progress. He should examine his palms immediately on waking and should pray to his favourite deity. That would give him peace of mind and the happy times would come nearer.
