Ten Frequently Asked Questions about Hand Reading (PALMISTRY FAQS)

Here are some FAQs on Palmistry or Hand reading. And the answers to them. 

1) Is palmistry a legitimate, proven science or an art of intuition? Even worse, is it merely unreliable speculation? 

There is a vast ancient knowledge about hand reading and this knowledge has been built upon by many good modern authors on palmistry. When it comes to actually using this knowledge, some palmists and hand readers use intuition, astrology, psychology and superstition, and combine it with tidbits of ancient palmistry knowledge to draw conclusions. This tends to discredit palmistry.

Even if intuition is accurate at times, to rely on it or to act as if it is about hand reading is not correct. From the number of emails I get every week from people who have been victims of palmists who make dire, frightening predictions,
I view these intuitive predictions in the light of malice of some type.

Ancient palmistry details some fatalistic predictions based on hand lines. These books were written at least a hundred years ago, if not hundreds. Life in those times was simplistic and fatalistic, more than it is so today. Secondly, we have progressed in knowledge in all fields, and in palmistry too. It is best to rely on the well-known authors of today, rather than of yesteryear.

The most important aspect of hand reading is interpretation. If I can think of any science to compare it to, it's Psychology. There are principles on which it operates, but finally, it is all about the diagnosis. Experience is the best teacher.


2) How accurate is Palmistry?

Palmistry is fairly accurate, but cannot be precise in terms of future predictions. This is because lines change with it, the future. Predictions would be more on the lines of future trends. However, the hand is an accurate good indicator of your strengths and weakness and overall personality. The hand can also reveal your life purpose and life lessons.

For more on this, you can read this post on Palmistry Myths.


3) Is there any scientific basis for Palmistry?

Palmistry has a scientific basis because the enormous number of nerves present in our hands are connected to the brain. Whether we made ourselves and evolved this way, or someone made us, the truth is that the hand is a gift. Our bodies are so perfectly made so why is it difficult to believe that there is a fail-safe? An alarm system?


4) What is the connection between Palmistry and Astrology?

None. These are two separate streams of knowledge. If believers in both fields wish to combine the readings from both Astrology and Palmistry, that is their prerogative. Although the fingers and mounts of the hands are named after planets, this was done by the ancient palmists. These are simply names and used for our convenience.


5) Can my hand tell me when I will die? Or can palmistry predict death?

Death cannot be seen on the hand, not even on the Lifeline. Death can occur anytime, but this cannot be predicted by the hand.

6) If I have several marriage lines, does it mean I will have more than one marriage? If my marriage line goes downwards, will I get divorced? And as I am female, is it my left hand which should be read?

No. The so-called marriage lines do not foretell marriage or divorce. A person with two or three lines can be married only once, and a person who marries several times or never marries at all can have just one line. A person with a straight line can get divorced and a person with a forked or downward line can be in a happy marriage. These lines are not reliable even when it comes to relationships. These lines on the edge of your hand, under the little finger, are the most unreliable lines on the hand.

And whether you are male or female, it does not matter as far as palmistry is concerned. The passive hand (can be left or right) tells you about your inherited self and the active hand reflects your current self.

7) Can my hand predict if I will be rich?

Your hand cannot tell you the quantum of money or assets you possess. Property cannot be seen on the hand. It can only tell you whether you think you have enough, more than enough, or not enough. Finally, it is all in your mind. In any case, your riches are not dependent on your hand. They are dependent on your ability, inheritance and/or hard work. Your success is dependent on who you are and what you do. This is reflected in the lines.

8) Will I go abroad? Live in a foreign country?

Smaller journeys cannot be seen on the hand. At times settlement away from your home can be seen. But this does not necessarily mean out of the country. It simply means away from your roots.


9) Will I be healthy? 

Health can be seen on the hand. Whether it will be a minor health issue or a serious health issue, it can be found out, as well as the approximate timing. However, pinpointing the exact cause may not be possible. For this, it is best to consult a medical practitioner.


10) Which career field am I best suited for? Science, Humanities or Commerce? 
Which career should I choose? Medicine, Engineering or Design or Agriculture?

The field you are best suited for can be seen. However, what you will actually choose, this is not. There are umpteen instances where people choose a stream of study other than what they are suited for intellectually and/or temperamentally, and this is due to parental or societal pressures.

As regards the actual career, there are far too many career options today for this to be answered in a specific manner.  For example, a person with a good imagination and creative ability can be suited not just for Design, but also for Architecture. A person with calculative abilities can be good for Finance, Accounting, or even Engineering. Of course, this has to be balanced out by the personality reading which will indicate your temperament and the life purpose reading which will indicate your deeper needs: Will  Money, Power or Creativity give you the fulfilment you need so badly?

  2. Meghan Markle, yes. Next post.
    Regarding the date, it is deliberate. Blogger does not have a way to stick a post at the top permanently so one has to future date it so it remains on top.
