If someone asks a palmist regarding the authenticity of palmistry he would suggest a marriage compatibility test as the best example to give a satisfactory explanation. The applicability of the rules of palmistry can be effectively seen while predicting marriage compatibility.
Marriage is one of the most important social institutions. Among the few factors that makes the sound foundation of a happy marriage include
1. Correct choice of partner
2. A pleasant psychological attitude among the partners
3. A harmonious sex life
An unconditional involvement is the most important part of a happy married life.
A basic psychological conflict between the partners will make married life horrible.
Marriage compatibility can be clearly examined from hand-reading.
Palmists divide the shape of the hands in to seven types, each with its own specifications. They are Square, Elementary, Conic, Spatulate, Philosophic, Psychic and Mixed. The shape and consistency of the hand, texture of the skin, length of fingers & its ‘flexibility with the development of the seven mounts’ are also important in determining the compatibility of two people.
Let’s start with checking the skin texture. It is done by holding the palm downwards and feeling the back of the hand by thumb. The skin texture can usually be categorized as
Soft – This indicates a developed aesthetic sense, no guarantee for high morals
Normal
Coarse – Lack of a developed aesthetic sense, an indication of low morals
Thickness of hand - Thickness of hand denotes the power of emotional factors. The feeling capacity of a person is judged from the thickness of the palm.
A man with thick hands has better chances of having a successful married life. The man with thin hands will not have a tender heart. He will be not be affectionate and will be utmost calculative even in the matter of love.
A woman with thick hands will consider her reasons much higher to her emotions. Hence it would be difficult for a man to cope up with ‘her emotional demands’.
The formation of the thumb tells about the quality of love that a person wishes to possess. A strong thumb indicates the sentimental attributes (should not be confused with emotional attributes) of a person, about his love, which constitutes of a number of strong emotive motives directed and concentrated towards one individual. Useful knowledge about monogamy and polygamy also can be found from the thumb.
A supple thumb, if it is flexible over the joint, indicates ‘shifting sentiments’. People with supple thumb are generous in love. But at times they find it hard to keep sentiments fixed on one matter for a long time.
Stiff thumb means stability and consistency in love and sentiments.
Do you have a heavy nail phalange? It may indicate a bully mainly on emotionally upsetting occasions.
Now let’s have a look at the shape and build of the fingers. A slender finger flexible over the joints indicates lack of restrictive control over the natural desires. A woman with slender fingers and weak supple thumb suggests a nervy person inclined to polygamy.
Check the Head and Life lines. Are they widely separated at the beginning? Then it indicates the lack of ‘the useful inhibitive female tendencies’. A woman with a jutting finger little figure can be of ‘a promiscuous disposition resenting any restrictive control whatsoever’.
A Girdle of Venus shows compassion in the emotional plane whereas the bumps on the finger tips show a person’s sensitivity on the intellectual plane.
Do you find numerous thin lines on your hand? It indicates nervous sensitivity. Are the main lines in your hand are thin and well traced? Here is ‘an indication of moment refinement’.
A widely curved heart line indicates ‘masculine directional trends emotions’.
A straight heart line shows ‘feminine directional expressions of emotions’.
A straight heart line shows a passive approach and meticulousness in life. Mental stimulation is a must requirement for physical stimulation. But never jump in to a conclusion that a person with a curve type of heart line does not have any ‘aesthetic discrimination’. It has nothing to do with morality, and character.
The pattern of the heart line should be judged in relation to the head line. For example a long head line curving down deep into the Mount of Luna shows a ‘feminine, abstract and romantic mind’.
Rules of hand reading (the above listed are a very few among the endless list) can be very successfully used for predicting marriage compatibility. But keep the following rules in mind:
(1) Predicting the marriage compatibility, based on the sexual and emotional compatibility of a person, is mostly related to psychology. One can be successful in predicting this only after gaining familiarity with the psychological principles involved in this. For this needs a fair knowledge of psychology, from the standard textbooks published.
(2) One must remember that many variations in degree can be found between two extreme indications shown on a particular hand. Hence a judicious conclusion must be drawn keeping the degree of variation in mind. For instance, a hand may be very thin, but the degrees of actual variation from person to person may extend over a wide range, none of which being exactly alike.
(3) Never try to make a faculty wise judgment of psychological traits. Making a correct assessment on the marriage and personal compatibility can be done only through patience, understanding, experience, study, and practice
