Learn Palmistry: Lesson One
The Palm
- A thin, hard and dry palm indicates a shy person with a lack of zeal or potency.
- A thick and clumsy palm tells of savage and stubbornness.
- When the palm is firm, not too large, but in proportion to the fingers, there is evenness of mind and quickness of intelligence.
- If the palm is soft and flabby, it refers to a person who is lazy, free or habitual indulgence in or enjoyment of comforts and pleasures in addition to those necessary for a reasonable standard of well-being, and often sensuality in nature.
- A hollow palm is an unfortunate sign. These people, though working hard to obtain success, receive much disappointment in return.
Learn Palmistry - Finger Length
The fingers, according to their length, are of two types- Long and Short.
- Long-fingered people are characterized by or acting in close conformity to requirements or principles and proper in manner, much concerned about their dresses and looks, and quick to notice small attentions.
- Short-fingered people are quick and hasty; they can’t be bothered with little things, and they take everything in a mass or as a group. They act by intuition and are inclined to jump to conclusions too quickly. They are not tidy, like the long-fingered people, and they care little for appearances. They are both quick in thought and action.
Fingers, thick and heavy, as well as short, denote more or less cruelty and selfishness.
Learn Palmistry- Finger Shape
There are four types of fingers, classified according to the shape of their tips. These types are- rectangular, wedged–shaped, pointed and tapering.

- The subject is a very conventional, law-abiding citizen
- Sincere and honest
- Lack of imagination
- Always happy and satisfied with your own knowledge.

- Has a pioneering strain

Pointed Fingers in Palmistry

- Indication of idealism, romance, religious fervor, and the desire for love
