Right and Left Hand Comparison Palmistry
Palmists need to compare one hand with the other to get the most accurate interpretation possible.
No two hands are alike, not even two hands belonging to the same person.
A proper comparison can provide a great deal of information regarding past occurrences and future trends for the client.
To begin a comparison of the two hands, ask your client which hand he or she writes with. Many people are ambidextrous when it comes to sports or other hobbies, but very few are able to write with both hands.
The hand the person writes with represents present and future trends. The reason for this is quite simple. The hand a person writes with is the hand which is used to send messages from the present into the future.
We will refer to this hand as the sending hand. The other hand will be referred to as the receiving hand, and, to the palmist, it represents past influences regarding the person's conditioning and circumstances as a child.
This hand also reveals the kind of health or temperament that resulted from the childhood environment. Assuming for a moment that the client is right-handed, the left hand will show what was inherited from the parents in terms of health and conditioning, while the right hand will tell what was actually done with these qualities. Sometimes. we will find a left hand that indicates talent and a right hand that is a mishmash of snarled lines flabby muscle tone, and other unfavorable markings.
A minute's glance will be enough to disclose that the client came into this world with talent that might have led to many opportunities. However, as the right hand—the message-sending hand-was so unfavorably marked it would lead us to believe that these talents and opportunities have not been utilized.
We then return to the left hand to discern the age at which the person began to misuse or squander his or her energy. There will always be at least one telltale spot on this otherwise marvelous hand that provides the clue to unraveling the mess that later ensued. If there is no clue to indicate where the trouble began. look closely at the thumbs.
It is not unusual for the thumb of one hand to differ slightly from that of the other, but if the thumbs differ radically, the person's willpower and reasoning—or lack of it—was the culprit in creating this chaos. Read more about the thumbs in'the subsequent chapters for more specific information.
