Lines

[Teresa]

The "Mind" line of my right palm swoops in a downward arc, a sign of creativity.  My "Heart" line begins as a broken chain that stretches across the pinkie or Mercury, past Apollo and Saturn, then it thins and smooths, runs a clean course toward Jupiter.

 

My "Life" line is decent until the lower part near the Venus mound where the chains return, perhaps an illness.  Then there is a sudden break, a gap, before the line proceeds again, unbroken.

 

I have a faint "Writer's Fork", a split like the tongue of a snake, an open mouth completing the Mind line.

 

My left palm is a chaos of deep scattered lines, a broken "Fate", a Mercury line cutting through another larger Writer's Fork, a double Life, split Mind and one Heart slashed by lightening from Apollo and Saturn; the whole is a chain of storms and cross-layered grids that appear as static,  my "Potential".

 

 

 

 

*Dominant hand ~ What you've manifested in life

Non-dominant hand ~ Potential

I took these photos during mass Sunday.  I'm SO going to hell:

Right hand

Left hand

[Bill Floyd]

The idea of unfulfilled potentiality v. actual manifestation cuts right to the heart.  I wonder how few people have matched one hand with the other, and what they're like.  Haven't checked mine, but I daresay they're dissimilar.  

Nice piece of writing, T.  You made something fascinating out of a subject that provokes rolled eyes among the haters.  Not sure I buy into its legitimacy, but it's way cool to contemplate.  

One hand clapping.

I was just describing my lines.  I wasn't really interpreting them.  I watched a few videos after posting this and apparently, breaks in the mind line on the nondominant hand mean that the person is laid back, carefree.  True.  I'm not sure what my "double life" line means.  The extra one could actually be the beginning of the fate line.  And the "heart slashed by lightening from Apollow and Saturn" are actually changes in fate direction, which is accurate -- a switch from x-ray to massage therapy, and then to writing full time.   All the many "storms and cross-layered grids" are actually not a bad thing.  When the sun line (Mercury) is surrounded by small lines, it's a sign of teachers and healers.  I think I loved and taught my patients for 22 yrs in medicine.  Mercury lines that are slightly wavy and faint are a sign of being nervous, ha.  I'd agree.  Who knows if this is really anything, but I have to say that when I see a man with big fat square hands, sausage fingers, I know he's not likely to be a concert pianist or scientist, and figure he has a temper.  And thin pale hands, long fingers, usually belong to a more sensitive type.  Could be bullshit but....  I've had my palm read about ten times and I'm always told the following:  You're artistic/creative, you can write (one guy in New Orleans prefaced this with, "but you may not be famous..." ha), you had a difficult childhood, you're sensitive, you'll have more than two children (even when my tubes were tied, and she was right!!), and that the only thing in my way is ME.  All true.  If nothing else, palm reading is fun.

This is great.  I'm going to do mine right away.  Does your reading seem reasonable to you?

i am learning to read tarot cards, which has been really fun. i picked up a book on palm reading but the forward talked about how to trick the person into giving you info so I got a little turned off. I forgot to mention in my first comment that I really enjoyed the descriptions you used for the lines. Very active and breathing: storms and slashed and sudden breaks.

Correction:  palm "reading".

[Teresa]

Some people argue about the significance of Right vs. Left hand.  I've heard that the L is what you're born with and the R is what you've done with it.  Or that L is future and R is present/past.  That L is subconscious and R is conscious.  But most often, L is said to represent potential.  There are many more aspects of palm ready, way more than I know or could fit into a six.  But there are crosses and x's and squares and mounds.  It's fascinating.

very cool! i've always wanted to learn how to do that.
