Resie Palm and her fire friends
Look at your hand. Turn it over and follow the lines of your fingers and palm. Most likely, you can't read the information that's written there: the number of children you might have, how many relationships you'll be involved in, and if you'll ever find your perfect career. That is where Ellie Crystal comes in. Crystal, a New York-area intuitive researcher and co-author of Sarah and Alexander: The
Alchemy of Time, says that a palm print is a theoretical blueprint of a person's life experiences.
"Every single thing that you do — who you are — is on your hand," Crystal says. "If you know how to properly read a palm, you can know a person's destiny."
Everything about the hand is important, Crystal says. She assesses the presence or absence of certain lines on the palm, the
depth of these lines and the length of the fingers. And instead of using the standard method of simply examining a client's palm, Crystal uses ink prints of her clients' palms to make a more detailed and accurate reading. She takes the client's dominant hand — the one with which he or she writes — rolls black ink on the palm and makes two prints. The first always turns out darker and
the second one lighter, allowing Crystal to make a more accurate reading.
There are four main lines on the palm: the heart line, the head line, the life line and the career line.
While these are the four main lines of the palm, Crystal says that the lines appear over time. Younger people have not fully developed yet, so they will most likely have less defined lines, and some lines
might still be absent.
Your fingers are also very telling, Crystal says.She takes into account everything from the length of each finger and relative size to the amount of space between the fingers of an open palm. Each finger, like the lines of the palm, has its own classification: thumb (Venus), index (Jupiter), middle (Saturn), ring (Apollo) and pinky (Mercury).
The heart line, which is the topmost crease, identifies your sensibilities and reveals things like whether you are overly romantic or controlling in a relationship. The branches at the end (toward the pinky) show the number of marriages one is likely to have, while ovals along the line indicate breakups and romantic challenges.
The head line is the next crease down from the heart line, and it shows your potential for education and intelligence. If, for instance, it stretches all the way across the palm, Crystal says that means you will attend and finish college (so look closely, seniors).
The life line starts between your index finger and thumb, and curves around the thumb. Crystal says this line indicates length of life and whether you will face any major obstacles.
The fate or career line, which goes straight from the base of the middle finger to the wrist, reveals whether you will find a job in your desired field. Crystal says that not everyone has a chosen career and that the career line is especially absent from younger people's palms. Your passion for your career shows in both the depth and the width of this line.
The thumb, or Venus, is first in line and can reveal a person's capacity for flexibility. If it's straight and vertical, then you are more stubborn and unyielding. If the thumb bends more, then you are more subtle and forgiving.
WHAT YOUR FINGERS SAY ABOUT YOU
The index finger, or Jupiter, is what Crystal refers to as the most important finger of the five. This finger reveals your strength in life, as well as self-esteem, leadership, organization and even punctuality. If it's longer than the ring finger, Crystal says that you are strong and determined.lf however, it's shorter, then you are more easily bossed around and you don't stand up for yourself often.
The middle finger, or Saturn, comes next in line and, among other things, speaks to your potential in the business world. A long Saturn finger indicates that you work well with numbers and are serious
about finances. A shorter Saturn finger tells Crystal that you are a little riskier, especially with money.
The ring finger, or Apollo, finger represents an individual's creativity. If you have an Apollo finger that is longer than the Saturn finger, you are a person that is inclined to enjoy the arts and you are a more romantic individual. A shorter Apollo finger is indicative of self-motivation but can also denote a selfish nature.
And last, but not least, is the pinkie finger, or Mercury. This finger, though small, is important to those who take communication seriously. It can indicate, for instance, whether you are a good writer by how long it is in relation to the Apollo finger: If Mercury does not reach or barely reaches the top line of the Apollo finger, you are probably not a naturally good writer. Crystal says that of all the great writers and directors she's met, they have all had especially long Mercury fingers.
