PALMISTS have gevin different versions of the types of hands.
Cheiro has mentioned seven types of hands, Madame Saint Germain nine and M.M. Gaffar two.
There is also a simple classification:
Crude hands : thick, hard and irregular belong to a manual worker.
Large hands (with long fingers) : This type of such hands is fond of details. He is irritable by temperament.
Broad hands(square type): This type of hand shows commonsense, broad-mindedness, activity and a practical and businesslike attitude.
Small hands : The possessor of such hands is contented but likes to plan and to manage more than he can exicute.
Large and narrow hands : The person with such hands is more imaginative and idealist than practical. If hands are long and thin, the person is selfish.
The Mounts
The fleshy pads below the fingers, thumb and at the base of the palm are called mounts.
All the planets mentioned in the preceding pages are represented on the hand
When a mount is raised and the apex is centrally locted, or it has favourable signs on it, it is said to be strong.
When flat, it is ordinary, but when depressed or has bad signs on it, it is weak and unfavourable.
When a mount is overdeveloped, the qualities of the mount go to the extreme and turn adverse.
For example, an underdeveloped Mount of Jupiter will make a person proud, jealous and boastful.
The Chinese have recognised the importance of redges and used finger-prints for hundreds of years in many forms for various purposes.
The first man to discover that the redges on fingers and thumbs can be used for positive identification was Sr Henry Faulds of England in 1880. In 1892, Sir Francis Galton, who was a famous scientist in England, proved that no two finger-prints are alike.
Ridges are counted between the fixed point in the pattern. These are classfied as :
Loop type : Redges run from one side to the other with an apex in the centre.It shows mental and emotional elasticity and versatility.
