| Palmistry  Cheirogonomy, better known as Palmistry, has origins that are hard to date. Archaeology findings have found paintings, carvings and sculptures from all over the world. Many from the eastern half of the world: China, Egypt, and Greece. The oldest actual mention on the subject was among an Egyptian recipe, as part of a face ritual; the ladies supposedly had a reading done while their makeup was being placed. Palmistry has been seemly in every aspect of all cultures. There are some that say that even the bible mentions a few passages on the subject: Proverbs- 3:16- length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor. Job-37: 7- He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. The eastern half of the world has always taken this art seriously where as with the burning times in Europe closed the doors to open study. Thanks to some that privately keep the art alive and the publicity of a few palmists we have the information presented today. Palmistry not only is the use of divination but astrology as well, and each finger represents a zodiac sign. Thumb- Venus, Index finger- Jupiter, Middle finger- Saturn, Ring finger- Sun, and the Pinky- Mercury. Palmistry also helps to tell you how your physical body is doing. There are lines on your hands that will indicate from time to time problems or strengths. And one may prevent problems health wise as they emerge. So as you can tell there are many facets to this art, but anyone can learn this and with time be very good at it. Now lets go over the different facets of the hand. And what palmist looks for when they do a reading.
Posture - A palmist usually greets their clients and watches to see how they use their hands: Do they shake, ring their hands, fidget or when they place them on the table do they lay flat or hold them close and tight fisted at first. This can tell the palmist right away if their clients are shy, suspicious, or relaxed. Shape of Hands - This Helps to identify characteristics of a client. There are seven types of hands.
 Square - Orderly, punctual, and precise. 
Elementary - Nature loving, hands-on, physical, planning. 
Conic - Imaginative, creative, sometimes impractical, sometimes lazy. 
Spatulate - Confident, competent, can-do person. 
Philosophic - Intellectual, cultural, extroverted, extravagant. 
Mixed - The odd one, not constant with thought, always changing at a whim. No pic available sorry! Psychic - Spiritual, mystic, contemplative, idealistic, seldom physically wrong.
Shape of Fingertips With the tips of the fingers this shows the secondary side of ourselves, for if you have ever noticed we do have two separate sides of our personalities. Square - People who have these fingertips are the thinkers and the decision-makers. They take the logical view rather then fantasy. They have a problem with anything artist. Pointed - These fingertips are the artists of the group, the sensitive and fragile personality. They give love freely. Conic - These tips seem to be the high officers; such as police, judges, and business persons. The downfall is that most who has these tips needs constant emotional strength. Spatulate - A combo of the pointed and the square tips. See above.
Fingernails Not only shows the beauty of the hand, but also tells the hidden truth of ourselves. Below is a list of the different types. Square: Easy going nature and an even temperament. Broad: A strong character with an explosive temper. Fan Shaped: Nails adopt this shape when the person has been suffering from long term stress. Almond: Gentle, kind people who are often daydreamers. Narrow: These people are cold and selfish. Vertical ridges: May indicate rheumatic problems. Horizon ridges: Dietary deficiencies. Dished: Chemical imbalance. Wraparound: May indicate respiratory problems. Overlarge Moons: May indicate an overactive thyroid problem. Red Nails: Indicate people who are impatient. Pale nails: May indicate an iron deficiency.
Texture and Composition of the Hands The following is how a palmist views ones temper. Smooth hands - very calm and not easily roused. These people hardly loose ones temper. Rough hands - These people are easy to rouse, quick tempered. Very earthly persons. Lined hands - a person who is fretful, worrisome and very easy to upset. Someone you have to watch words with. Soft hands - a go-getter, a person who loves easily, and sensual person. Firm hands - an active person, one who seeks outdoors activities, high energy drives. Hard hands - a selfish person, carries allot of baggage. One who does not enjoy life.
Color of Hands info provided by: www.idiotsguides.com We've all got different colored skin. Black, white, yellow, red: Even within those broad categories there are endless variations of pigmentation. It's part of what makes each of us unique and special.
As with other aspects of the hand, the more hands you look at, the more you'll be able to understand how various pigmentations manifest on various colors of skin. On Oriental hands, for example, there are very distinct pinks and grays, as well as a darker pigmentation that shows a certain focus. There are also warmer and cooler tones within each pigmentation, and, with practice, you'll notice that within every color of hand you'll find a pink, white, green, gray, black, and blue.
A hand's relative color is an indicator of health. Not only are the client's circulation shown, but every other part of his or her physiognomy as well. Remember, too, that each color is a variation on the skin's natural color, so that "pink" on an African-American hand can appear quite different from "pink" on a Caucasian one.

Mounts
info from: www.astrospeak.com 
The mount at the base of the index finger indicates a person's desire to lead others, his ambitions and his ego. Palmists call it the Mount of Jupiter. That is why the finger has the peculiarities of Jupiter. The small area at the base of the middle finger is indicative of the placidity of character, the analytical power, the desire for worldly goods and the yen for solitude. It has been named after Saturn as the Mount of Saturn.
The Mount of Saturn is generally found in a depressed state, but, because the finger associated with it, the Middle one, is longer than the rest, it offsets the deficiency The middle finger has all the peculiarities of Saturn.
The small area below the third or ring finger is indicative of a person's zeal, desire for ostentation and the love of fine arts. It is called the Mount of the Sun or Apollo and the third finger has all the peculiarities of Sun. The area below the little finger is indicative of a person's pragmatic bent of mind and eloquence. It is named as the Mount of Mercury and this finger has all the peculiarities of Mercury A small area below the Mount of Mercury is indicative of a person's patience. Western palmistry calls it the Upper Mars (Defensive Mars). The area below the Mount of Jupiter is called the Lower Mars (Aggressive Mars) by Western palmists. It is indicative of the amount of courage a person has. The area below the Defensive Mars, extending unto the edge of the palm in one direction and the wrist in the other represents the imagination and the desire for change in a person. This area is known as the Mount of the Moon. The area under the Aggressive Mars which extends from the base of the thumb to the wrist shows the sex urge, the vitality and the amount of human sympathy in a person. It has been named as the Mount of Venus. The area, which lies within these mounts, is known as the Plain of Mars. If it appears to be full, a person has excess of physical strength and he does not easily lose courage. If it is depressed, a person loses courage in the struggle for life. If a mount in the palm is prominent, it is known as a developed mount. A person having a particular mount in a developed state is likely to have the qualities associated with that mount. Converse is the case if a mount is depressed or underdeveloped
