Palmerstry ( Basics )

A large, wide hand with thick, sometimes long fingers with broad tips. These people are active members of the community, but prefer to act rather than think. They love any form of gamble or risk, and will will often have a strong tireless streak. They may not have respect for the law but are usually athletic and sometimes musical in nature. Active hands are intent on making their mark in life and are true individuals, making up their own unique rules as they go.

The Psychic Hand is of all hands the most beautiful, and consequently the most scare, the hand is delicate and slim with pointed fingers and narrow palms. This hand type is not common, so when examining a womans hand, don't fall into the trap of automatically thinging the slender fingers automatically make them Psycic or Conic people. True psycic hands should have a Psycic Cross on the fate line (see *Smaller Lines). These people see beauty in everything and are the most idealistic people of all. Love is the center of their being but they often choose the wrong partner. They find it difficult to cope with problems, are sensitive and vulnerable, and may seek someone to look after them. They are normally very impractical, have no sense of time, are illogical and are easily influenced and imposed upon by others.

The mixed Hand is most difficult to describe. The mixed hand is so called because the hand cannot possibly be classed as Psychic, Artistic, Useful, Necessary, Philosophical or Elementary; the Fingers also belong to different types - often one pointed, one square, one Spatulate, one Philosophic etc. This is the hand of Ideas, of versatility, and generally of changeability of purpose. A person with such a hand is adaptable to both people and circumstances, clever, but erratic in application of his talents.

A person hand can also be made from a mixture of elements, some sometimes a mixture of all 6. The way to check is to look at the majorfeatures first and see if the hand has more than one major feature e.g. Rough hands with stubby fingers and broad tips could be an Elementary/Active mix. These people are hard to catagorise and may have many conflicting characteristics. Mixed hands are good at a wide variety of jobs and can do them with a reasonable accuracy. They are often restless people who may move locations or change jobs regularly.
