THE
COLOUR OF THE PALM
WHEN
the entire hand is covered with a multitude of fine lines
like a net spreading over its surface, it tells that the nature
is intensely nervous and worried by little thoughts and troubles
that would be of no importance whatever to others.
This
is particularly so if the palm be soft - such people imagine
all sorts of things in the way of ailments and troubles; but
if the palm of the hand be hard and firm, it denotes an energetic,
excitable nature, but one that is far more successful for
other people than for self.
SMOOTH
HANDS
Very
smooth hands with few lines belong to people calm in temperament
and even in disposition. They seldom if ever worry; they rarely
lose temper, but when they do they know the reason why. This
again depends on the fact as to whether the palm is hard or
soft. When firm, it is a greater sign of control and calmness
than when soft. In the latter case it is not so much a mater
of control as of indifference: the subject will not take sufficient
interest to lose temper - that would be too much of an exertion.
THE
SKIN
When
the palm of the hand is covered naturally with a very fine
light skin, the subject will retain the buoyancy and temperament
of youth much longer than the person with a coarse skin. This
is, of course, much affected by work, but even cases where
little labour or manual work is done can be detected by the
ridges of the skin. It has been proved that as regards this
point no two hands are ever alike; consequently, while work
may thicken the cuticle, its individuality remains the same.
THE
COLOUR OF THE PALM
The
colour of the palm is far more important than the colour of
the outside of the hands. This at first sight appears strange,
but a little observation will prove the truth.
The
palm of the hand is under the immediate control and action
of the nerves and of the nerve-fluid. According to scientists,
there are more nerves in the hand than in any other portion
of the body, and, again, more in the palm than in any other
portion of the hand.
It
will be found that almost every palm has a distinct colour
and can be classed as follows:
When
pale or almost white in colour, the subject will take very
little interest in anything outside of himself - in other
words, he will be selfish, egotistical, and unsympathetic.
When
the palm is yellowish in colour, the subject will be morbid,
melancholy, and morose.
When
a delicate pink, the nature is confident, hopeful, and bright;
and when very red, robust in health and spirits, passionate,
and quick-tempered.
