CHIROGNOMY

PALMISTRY:

“Palmistry carries with it, a stigma , placed upon it by fortune-tellers & the pseudo sciences of the middle ages. For 25 years, I have waged a battle against skeptics to prove, what I know, to be a fact – Palmistry is one of the most reliable methods for determining the genetic & the endocrinologic makeup of an individual. It is an easy and inexpensive method by which the Physician can help his patient to a healthy, happy and a full life.” By Eugene Scheiman, MD ( an American Doctor & author of ‘ A Doctors guide to better health through Palmistry’)

Palmistry has two important sections: a) Chirognamy b) Chiromancy

CHIROGNOMY:

It is a study of physical characteristics of the palm , viz., a) Colour of the palm b) Flexibility of palm& fingers c) Length of fingers and the nature of its joints d) Colour of the nails & its shape ( conic, pointed, square, spatulate ) e) Shape of the palm  f) The mounts ( the small bulge/pads, below each fingers) g) Length & Width of the Palm.

Each point, mentioned, above , carries with it , enormous information about a person’s Psyche.

For example, even without , looking at the Palm proper, by a simple shake of the hand, we can gather a) If his Palm feels too soft and flexible – you may say, he can quiet easily be maneuvered, his energy level is deficient b) If his Palm is firm , he should be an energetic person and probably a tough nut to crack, his head, placed well on his shoulders  c) If his hand is too hard , he may lack, mental flexibility and with very strong  likes and dislikes.  You may need different tactics with each type of person, to get yourself, heard. 

WIDTH:

Narrow Palms reveal a restricted way of viewing Life, which is further aggravated by a stiff Palm. Conversely, broad Palms are generally found on people who are broad-minded, tolerant and interested in new concepts and trends. ( Check the angle between the Thumb and Index finger, the distance between the head and life line, and the quadrangle to confirm this ). 

FINGERS:

Generally speaking, short fingers especially with smooth joints are highly intuitive, impatient  and  impulsive. Check for balancing factors , such as a square finger tip and moderately joined head and Life line. These factors will put a break, to their otherwise, impulsive nature. Otherwise, trouble is in store.

Long  fingers  ,    with  knotted  joints  have  opposite qualities. Patience, love for details , are their trade mark. They are more suited for research oriented works.

If you have a designer, very patient, organized, talented in making small intricate designs/patterns , with precision, probably he has long fingers, square tips, with his/her head line with a slope towards Mount Luna, the mount of imagination and a single whorl on his Sun finger.

If you have a designer, who is highly talented, who just knows, which design is going to be a hit, but who works in fits and fancies, probably he/she has small smooth intuitive fingers. 

Further, the transverse bend and the axial bend of the fingers also gives much insight in to the personality as well as health defects.
