The hand has been described as a map to a person's true inner self. Considering that each person's hand is different, this could be a most valid belief. When one studies this map, there are many physical aspects that are taken into ac- count. One carefully examines the thickness and form of the palm, type flexibility and shape of the joints, the colour and texture of the nails,ari~ skin as well as the way in which the hands are U.sed in gestures. · ':i+ :,
Further analysis also involves he stUdy o lines. Unlike the shape, which does not usually alter quickly, lines can change very easily with the bidding of thought and health. .
Finally the many ridge patterns found on the hands and feet complete the study. We are wE)ll aware that the skin pattern on the thumb has been the basis of police identification the worlq over. Likewise in India and China, the thylJ'lbprint was used to prevent forgery c,m impor:tant• documents. . .
The cone shaped hand is found Qi'l those p·er~ sons who are very creative and imaginative: Jt ifi-' dicates one who is more interested in theory' than.~ in practice if he is in a profession. The typical long ·· tubular fingers and full rounded base in-a conic . hand often belong to those who are educators, lawyers or creative artists.
The life line encircles the base of the thumb. Special markings show events that affect the life force. The doubling of the life line, roughly be-._ · tween the ages of 25 to 60, shows a helpful force that protects the individual durililg this time period. It is a sign that he can't be stopped.
The headline shows quality of i,ntellect and mental set. The joined head and life line at the beginning show a strong sense of mind over body. The long, deep and straight line expresses one with an outstanding and realistic intellect.
The heartline shows emotional attitude - the ability to like and be liked. The straight and parallel lines represent intellectual friendships
Truly outstanding will and aspirations are found '- in those hands who posses strong major lines (life, heart, head) and a strong line of destiny (fate).·. :~-_•. '
