Palmistry – The Thumb

Palmistry – The Thumb

By: Per Hogseth

 Thumb in a way, represents the whole hand. Hence more importance is attached to the thumb than it is given to the lines in the palm. The thumb reveals the whole identity of the individual to the palm reader. The thumb is considered as the root of the whole hand. The thumb is considered as the center of the will-power. It is formed by 2 pieces of bones. The first phalange of the thumb indicates logic and the phalange containing the nail indicates will-power.

According to medical sciences, no harm is done for the individual if the four fingers are cut off. But if the thumb is torn and there is profuse bleeding then the person might go insane and even results in his death.

Parts of the thumb

First phalange of the thumb

If the first phalange of the thumb is very long, then such a person is self-willed while he has less desire to work if the thumb is shorter. Such persons are weak-willed. If the fore part of the thumb is square, the person is clever in legal matters and is respected for his acts of justice. He is very obstinate if the fore part of the thumb is wide. If the forepart of the thumb is extraordinarily long then such a person is a murderer or a dacoit or remain engrossed in anti-social activities.

The Second Phalange of the Thumb

Persons whose second phalange is long, are clever, careful and a take a lead in social activities. They are held in high esteem by the society. If the phalange is short, the person works without any forethought. He works in acts of dangerous magnitude. If this phalange is clumsy, then he is devoid of the power of reasoning. If this phalange is depressed then the person’s mind is sharp and sensitive.

Third part of thumb or Place of Venus

The third part of the thumb is not a phalange, instead it the place of Venus. A person who has this part more prominent, elegant with a pink tinge is well-advanced in love matters. They gain full popularity among friends. They succeed in life and smile under difficulties as well. If the mount of Venus is very protruded, then the person would be sexually immoral. If this part is less prominent or submerged with more than necessary lines then the person would be having a frustrated temperament.

Different types of thumbs

Long Thumb – Such persons are self-willed, self -dependent and control others. In their lives intelligence has more importance and they are called intellectuals, and they are especially interested in mathematics and engineering.

Short Thumb- Such persons do not work with their own mind instead do so at the influence of others. Emotions have prominent place in their lives than intelligence. They take special interest in poetry, painting or music.

Hard Thumb- Such persons ae obstinate and alert. They possess the capacity to keep anything to themselves. They are wanting in emotions in their lives and they mostly work on the strength of intelligence.

Flexible and Supple Thumb- A person with such a thumb is much interested in amassing wealth and is capable of adjusting according to circumstances.

Obtuse-angled thumb- If the thumb makes an obtuse angle with the index finger then it comes under this category. Such thumbs are well-formed, long and thin. They are called gentle thumbs. Persons having such thumbs are gentle and sweet-tempered. They are Artists and Musicians.

Right-angled thumb- These are those thumbs which form a right angle with the index finger. These thumbs are elegant, strong and appear like pillars. Such a person believes in hard work. They are short-tempered but quickly cool off. They stick to their words. The feeling of revenge is very strong in them. Such persons can be neither good friends not good enemies.

Acute- Angled Thumb- Thumbs which make an acute angle at the joint with the index finger come under this category. The length of such thumbs are comparatively smaller and look clumsy. Such thumbs are classed as of evil quality.

Persons with this kind of thumb are frustrated throughout their lives. They are very lazy. They do not complete any work. They remain in bad habits with lavish spending. They are less interested in religion and are more inclined towards ghosts, spirits and the like.

They are always attracted towards the other women in life.

A Beginners Guide to Palmistry

A Beginners Guide to Palmistry

By: Kephri Ra

Palmistry is an ancient art thought to have originated in the East more than 5000 years ago. What we now know as palmistry is actually composed of what were originally two distinct disciplines: Chirognomy and Chiromancy.

Chirognomy uses the shape and size of a person’s hand and digits to assess their character and personality. Chiromancy is what people usually think of when they think of palmistry, and uses the lines on the palm of the hand to give a reading which can divine the major events of a person’s life and give some insight into what they may expect from the future.

In this article I will describe some of the most important indicators from both schools of palmistry, which will enable you to perform a basic reading either on yourself or for friends and family.

The first thing you must recognize is that the two hands will often be different. The dominant hand, that is the hand which you use to write with, indicates the way things stand at the moment. By that I mean not only events that have already happened, and are currently happening, but also the direction in which your life is heading and therefore what you can reasonably expect from the future. The non-dominant hand reveals what you wish for, and also what you have the potential to become if you change the course of events.

Beginning with Chirognomy, and looking at the shape of the hands to assess character, the main indicators are probably the so called ‘Mounts’ of the hand. These are the fleshy raised pads that can be found at various places on the palm.

The Mount of Venus: This is the largest of the mounts and can be found at the base of the thumb. It indicates the ability to express emotion and affection, as well as a person’s level of vitality. A particularly large, firm and well developed mount of Venus shows someone with great energy and vitality, as well as a strong (perhaps too strong) sex drive. A particularly flat or soft mount of Venus shows someone who may easily succumb to apathy or listlessness. They will have a weak libido, and may suffer poor health due to a lack of vital energy.

The Mount of the Moon: This can be found on the bottom of the palm just above the wrist, on the opposite side to the thumb and the mount of Venus. It indicates intuition and imagination. An underdeveloped mount of the moon shows a person who is very logical and sceptical, perhaps with a strong practical intelligence, but with an inability to make intuitive leaps beyond what is directly in front of them which may make them seem dull minded. A very large pad here indicates a very imaginative and creative person, who may sometimes be a fantasist who becomes enamoured with the idea of a thing and blinds themselves from all evidence to the contrary, perhaps losing touch with reality. These two are obviously the extremes, with most people being somewhere in between.

Moving on to Chiromancy I will now describe the major line of the palm and how you can use them to provide a reading:

The Life Line: This line begins on the side of the hand between the thumb and the forefinger, and curves down around the mount of Venus The life line indicates the Major events of a person’s life, and the quality of the physical energy. A common misconception is that the length of the line indicates how long a person will live. This is not the case, and actually the quality of the line is more important than the length. A strong, clear, and unbroken line indicates abundant physical energy and strength, and therefore the likelihood of good health and long life. The beginning of the line above the thumb relates to childhood and the other end relates to old age. If the line becomes weak or feathery at one point more than others this indicates difficulties and possible health problems at that stage in a person’s life. If it is crossed by smaller lines then this can indicate important events in a person’s life, such as marriage, retirement etc.

The Fate Line: This line travels vertically up the centre of the palm. It shows the general direction your life will take your career and interests, and worldly affairs in general. The fate lie can start in a number of different places. If the line begins on the mount of Venus, for example, shows someone strongly influenced by childhood event or family background. This person may have difficulty overcoming a traumatic childhood experience (esp. if the line is weak or broken at this end) or maybe a person who lives their life in the same social setting, and perhaps career, as their parents, never moving far from their roots. If he ne begins on the mount of the moon, on the other hand, the opposite is true. This person will take a very individual path in life, going their own way rather than fulfilling expectations. In either case a clear unbroken line shows a clear path that a person will follow – they may have a lifelong career, or some other singular focus. Forks and branches in the line indicate diverse interests and endeavours, and a weak line show a person being pulled along without having any strong passion or attachment to what they are doing. Some people do not have a fate line at all, which means they are a person who live in the moment and is very fluid in their approach to life.

The Bracelets of Neptune: This is an interesting place to finish. They run across the inside of the wrist just before it meets the hand. They indicate good fortune. The stronger and clearer they are the more fortune you will have in life. The top line is also particularly associated with health, with a straight, deep line and no feathering being the ideal.

Hindu Astrological Predictions

By: James Gunaseelan

For thousands of years the Hindus in India were using the planets and stars to predict the future and confirm the past. The Hindu astrology defines the characteristics of a person depending on the place and the time of birth. The place and time of birth corresponds to a start and each star has its own distinct characteristics.

Some of the planets are thought to be good for people and some are thought to be bad for person’s life. If a person’s horoscope has a strong influence of the planet Saturn at any point in life, the person goes through lot of sufferings. As per the Hindu Vedas the life is full of joy and sorrows. One can not have life full of joy or full of sorrow. There are many remedies given to soothe the sufferings when a person goes through bad planetary positions.

Here are the categories of Hindu horoscopes.

Mesha
Vrishaba
Miduna
Kataka
Simha
Kanya
Tula
Vrischika
Dhanus
Makara
Kumba
Meena

The terms Aries,Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn , Aquarius and Pisces are used ONLY to denote their corresponding equivalents in Vedic Astrology. Any extension of them would lead to misinterpretation of the predictions . Predictions are on the basis of the birth stars and not on the English date of birth.

The hindu vedas gives many things one can do to prevent bad period in life. These are called Pariharams and are usually done in any temple. Some of the famous temples for doing pariharams are Tirupathi, Tiruchendur, Tanjore Siva Temple, Varanasi, Bath in the holy Ganges, Puttabarthi, Sai Baba temple, Palani, Kalahasthi, Thirunallar, Panjavadi, Guruvayur, Kumbakonam, Thiruvarur, Nagarcoil, temples in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh etc.

Many pariharams also talk about specific Gods like Krishna, Ganesha, Karthikeya, Siva, Vishnu, Kali, Linga.

Usually astrological predictions are done for a monthly or yearly period.

Kuan Yin on Global Warming: Healing Our Beliefs, The Earth

By: kuanyinspirit

“It’s not just these certain oil families who carry this energy. Everyone creates realities based on their own personal beliefs. These beliefs are so powerful as to be responsible for creating [expansive or entrapping] realities over and over. There is now so much global investment in these beliefs that oil is life. The energy has been built up to such an extent as to attract disembodied energies. Someone who is actually quite weak can appear strong when “backed” by these energies. Indeed, behind these families is a powerful mass of souls who believe strongly that oil is life. They also have the mindset that it is the only thing keeping them in existence. In other words, if the belief goes, so do they. So, this inaccurate belief system, this “untruth” has magnified itself. And as in all inaccurate belief systems, nature will oppose it because it is too dense,” decrees Kuan Yin.
“Conversely, Nirvana is very light, very ethereal.”

“Kuan Yin is showing me the energy the oil dynasty represents,” relates Lena, still in trance. “It is very hard in texture. Kuan Yin is lifting it up like a mountain. It’s like a giant disk of great density. She’s balancing it on her staff, while she continues to ride upon the dragon across the ocean. Nevertheless, she still maintains a sense of humor. I ask her how will she dissolve this hard mass representing the belief systems. She tells me the energy of “good” will reach these families like a prayer. Kuan Yin is also telling me the disk cannot just be destroyed. If that strategy is ever attempted, many will perish. Kuan Yin says everything being spoken and written about the Iraq war and American adventurism is shedding light on this limiting belief system, slowly dissolving the disk.”

“Many people are unaware they buy into this belief system,” notes Kuan Yin.
“Nevertheless, they go on believing the only way they’ll survive is to have money. The oil families represent one’s relationship with prosperity and survival. Humanity has created itself around the “survival of the fittest” belief and the fearful belief that there are not enough resources. Unfortunately, many individuals really believe there are not enough resources for everyone. Some out of body souls are not aware they don’t really need the oil to breathe, that they are fabricating situations they believe they need to “survive”. Everyone has made an agreement, then, that there isn’t enough. Wars and every other dilemma focusing on hate, fear and murder is based on “not enough” and the illusion of survival. It took a long time for your planet to evolve into this crisis. Everyone is witnessing the greed and bad behavior… It is a very potent time. People are learning. And what people learn also sets them (the oil dynasties) free. They will no longer be trapped in their own belief system. People will begin to get sparks of light. There will increasingly be more and more sparks which will erode the darkness of confusion,” Kuan Yin concludes.

The other night, I watched sadly as the narrator of that particular show explained the impending plight of yet another one of earth’s precious species. I’d known about the endangered polar bears-how they must have sufficient amount of ice in order to hunt their prey. Most are presently aware that ice at both Polar Caps is melting at an alarming rate. Now it involves the elephants! Watering holes so crucial to an elephant’s survival are now threatened by persistent drought. Elephants must have continual access to bodies of water in order to drink and also bathe. Without watering holes, pachyderms will not only fail to obtain sufficient daily hydration, their skin will crack and they will eventually die.

Every day one hears on the nightly news or reads in the newspapers references to global warming. In fact the term “global warming” has become a mantra, code for recent and future eco catastrophes ranging from weather anomalies to health concerns to species extinction. Discovering ways for all humans to have sufficient living standards and live in harmony with each other is, in fact, integral to solving environmental imbalances and sustainability. Yet, for generations there has been a deplorable disregard for environmental sustainability. Pressed against the glass, facing its own demise, humanity must no longer view humanitarian and environmental goals as incompatible and/or somehow in competition with one another. The allocation and directing of precious resources and technologies towards peaceful coexistence as well as restoration of environmental balance must not only be viewed as realistic, but imperative!

How does our present “collective agreement” relate to the Iraq War and Global Warming? To sufficiently answer this question, it is important to acknowledge the philosophical scaffolding leading to our present state of affairs. Any building contractor knows you do not just slap a few pieces of wood together to build a sound structure. Structural codes based on complex engineering principles and formulas can now determine whether a building will withstand, for instance, an earthquake magnitude of 7.0. Indeed, building codes have altered drastically in places such as California in lieu of recent devastating earthquakes.

Similarly, human values and morals comprise the structure of society. From such values and morality, laws governing everything from personal to corporate to governmental behavior are crafted. Until the precarious present laws have often been inspired by core belief systems notorious for denigrating both nature and women. It would appear humans have the capability to redress outdated and sometimes inappropriate laws to better address contemporary threats. The question is, however, does humanity have the foresight and willpower to alter its beliefs, and thus laws, for its own survival?

There are those who suggest our environmental dilemma is really a spiritual dilemma–that there must occur a significant restructuring of spiritual priorities and values to remedy the imminent threat of global warming and all it implies. At the root of our environmental conundrum, according to Kuan Yin, is the great cultural “divide”. The “better than” and “not enough” beliefs have the power to undermine relationships between men and women as well as any existing spiritual relationship mankind might still have with nature.

Therefore it is imperative we understand the spiritual dynamics currently ruling our present-day paradigm. Addressing karma and free will Goddess Kuan Yin states: “There are the waves and there is the wind, seen and unseen forces. Everyone has these same elements in their lives, the seen and unseen, karma and free will. The question is, ‘how are you going to handle what you have?’” Focused upon the power of loving-kindness and the importance of intention and personal beliefs, Kuan Yin speaks with immediacy and ardor. This transcription of her channeled words is unique as it represents a direct and authentic communication with this ancient Goddess. Speaking through Lena Lees at this crucial historical moment, Kuan Yin offers her wondrous insight and wisdom on crucial topics including the creation of personal reality, immortality and reincarnation and world affairs.

You may already be familiar with Goddess Kuan Yin. Considered the premiere female deity in the Chinese Pantheon, this Goddess has traditionally been (in Chinese culture) the protector of mothers and children. She has also been patroness and protector of fishermen. Not surprisingly, therefore, Kuan Yin speaks extensively on the power of motherly love, compassion and loving-kindness.

Beyond Her wise and prophetic words, however, are her parables–vignettes demonstrating Her profound teachings concerning one’s creation of personal reality and immortality. Ever the changeling, Kuan Yin could, at any juncture, transform Her guise. The embodiment of Her empathetic and powerful message, Her forms show the divine dynamic that is the God/Goddess Force. Transmuting with ecstatic abandon, the Goddess demonstrates how we are all a part of this vital dynamic. Appearing to Ms. Lees as thousand-arms Kuan Yin, She commands: “Look at this arm! You’ve seen it in the book and now I’m showing it to you. So to attract and assist many people, I manifest in many ways. If it means being a man, it’s fine with me!”

Morphing into “bigger than life”, godlike forms, Kuan Yin demonstrates our full god-potential. Insisting evil does not exist and that nothing can overcome the God Force, Kuan Yin emphasizes there is no reason to fear. Teaching that no one is better than the next, She stresses the importance of accepting differences and the development of community. Explaining it is necessary to return to this earth odyssey, experiencing even the darkness (ignorance) to finally enter Nirvana (which is Oneness), Kuan Yin insists that it is the earth experience which represents the most important step in our entire evolution: “Human mistakes and inaccuracies are no less important than divinity…the incredible process of being human allows for the higher self to acknowledge and extract divinity from one’s trials and tribulations.”

Further, Kuan Yin advises that what is needed on earth is “compassion for the untruth”. Touching “untruth’s” shoulder with the utmost compassion, She demonstrates her infinite capacity for love and forgiveness. Stemming the tide of war and destruction can only occur, she maintains, through “sprinkling elements of truth and healing”. This process requires one be centered upon and understand the issues of his or her life from a place of detachment. To examine one’s life from this perspective allows the Higher Self to participate in daily choices and problem solving. While ego is responsible for maintaining the self in day-to-day reality, much of the pressure of decision-making can be mitigated when allowing one’s relationship with the higher self to unfold. Divinity is not, then, some distant or unattainable ideal. Rather is intimately associated with all that is considered part of a “realistic life”. To spiritually assess one’s personal dramas from a place of detachment, to regard them as integral to spiritual growth is an enlightened choice. This personal choice, in itself, has the power to transform the course of one’s life path.

Manifesting during Lena’s trance, Kuan Yin did not arrive with a list of instructions. Nor was there a user’s manual so to interpret Her many and varied transformations. Insisting that Her kaleidoscopic shape shifting harbors the mysteries of the universe, Kuan Yin instead explains that it rests upon us to unravel the meanings of her vast array of amazing and mysterious forms. While instantaneous metamorphosis is, indeed, a very impressive skill, the full extent of Kuan Yin’s upaya-kaushalya (expedient means) is truly stupendous. The fantastical and sometimes whimsical props and spiritual tools she brings with her (to each discourse) are to illustrate Her spiritual teachings.

One must wonder if Kuan Yin is limited in any way-whether Her ability for metamorphism is, indeed, infinite. It is sometimes claimed that humanity cannot truly know God. Yet, this Goddess’ amazing shape shifts demonstrate the infinite love and compassion of the universe. Teaching that there is no birth or death, Kuan Yin maintains that they are but illusions of ego-based consciousness. Her imaginative transformations also allude to the multidimensionality of the Self. Commenting upon this manuscript, readers have marveled at how it “gives a great insight into just how little we know about the true workings of God and the universe, but at the same time helps you to understand your unique divinity.”

Guided, by Kuan Yin, through spectacular astral vistas, Lena’s trances were gateways to illumination with visionary sojourns spanning the earth plane and beyond. Embellishing each amazing journey is Kuan Yin’s ability to transform into any shape she so desires. Her transformations utilize two primary modes: metaphor and archetype. While entertaining, her metamorphoses are intended to be much more. As She has expressed, her shape shifting allows Her to take whatever forms necessary to convey Her spiritual teachings. Central to Her scriptures is that while it is important to have a path to follow, one needs to release all expectations concerning the outcome lest they create a “negative driving force”–rather than being in the moment, there is a push to be where one is not.

There is nothing wrong with attaining great position or wealth in life. However, Kuan Yin wants us to know that the greatest wealth is the bond between family members, community and nature. Applying to every aspect of personal reality, the Kuan Yin codicils provide a foundation and bulwark: a pathway to peace and harmony. The following is an overview of Kuan Yin’s spiritual teachings wherein She explains in metaphysical terms what some physicists already suspect–that time does not exist: “You’re at page ten but I understand the entire evolution,” remarks Kuan Yin. “In reality, it’s already over. It’s a dream. Remember? You’re living a dream. It’s very complicated to hold the dream and live the dream. You are learning the art of juggling the dream and the world of dreams. No one really gets hurt.”

The hypothesis of multiple universes is now a universally accepted scientific probability. What does the Goddess’ sweeping statement reveal in terms of our supposed in-time existence? How does one reconcile such a precept with traditional definitions of reincarnation-doctrine stating one is reborn into a succession of lifetimes? Stating that we all are a part of god simultaneously “playing out adventures from his or her beliefs,” Kuan Yin insists personal reality is a result of one’s mindset: a powerful gestalt of thoughts, beliefs, emotions and intentions and that the present is our “escape hatch”-our way out of limiting realities.

Further, each individual is endowed with free will-the power to envision the possibilities, creating one’s most expansive reality. Kuan Yin insists that here on earth there exists a collective agreement concerning certain beliefs and perceptions. Like attracts like: beliefs create intention and realities are then attracted to that intention. Therefore it is crucial we examine humanity’s core beliefs towards itself, nature. In comprehending this reality we’re mired in, it’s important to remember the Kuan Yin spiritual teaching that earth is “the most important step in our evolution”–that it is here we learn humility and how to “spiritualize matter” (direct the creative force).

Also, according to Kuan Yin, the terms “good” and “evil” are but one set of dualisms inherent in our language: “You think that just because there is an absence of good, for instance, that evil exists. This is not so.”

Adding to the above statement that we are eternal beings; that only the body dies, Kuan Yin emphasizes there is no reason to fear. In another discussion, Kuan Yin relays how praying for others (and the earth) is “the most powerful thing a person can do”.

Emphasizing there are no victims-only “made-up stories” about oneself, the Goddess wishes for us to refrain from “taking things too personally”. Kuan Yin teaches we are all divine beings having come to earth to gain potency, learn compassion and direct the creative force. However, three misguided beliefs: the “not enough”, “better than” and “survival of the fittest” cause great suffering on earth. Militarism as well as environmental destruction cannot, according to this deity, occur without a belief in separation and the “better than” belief: “The truth is one must be fully human for the divine part of self to be more in tune. Rejecting the human body assures one will have to come back, return to the lessons here on earth. It means ‘you didn’t get it’,” counsels Kuan Yin:

“The indigenous tribes are the most powerful as many of them are so in harmony with nature as to be really, really divinely human. They’re so in touch with their humanity that they’re totally in tune with their Diva nature. They know that human/animal harmony is the crux of spirituality. Of course there is always the criticism: that “better than” mindset. Humans say they’re better than each other. And they say they’re better than nature. But they’re not. It’s ludicrous to compare the intelligence of other living creatures to human intelligence. Plants have enormous intelligences and spirituality. However, the “better than” mindset greatly contributes to the ongoing environmental destruction.”

True divinity, stated by this Goddess, is being in tune with nature and knowing there is no past or future. The lesson on earth is also acceptance of differences.
