My Palms and the meaning of fingers

This is a tracing of my hands with the lines drawn in that I made a few years ago when I was first learning to read hands. I labeled everything in order to study where the different lines and mounts are. If you know about those Roman Gods, it is easy to remember which qualities are manifested in each finger. It took me awhile to remember:

  • the index finger is Jupiter
  • Jupiter is the chief god ruling over laws and social order, so the Jupiter finger represents leadership and interest in laws.
  • the middle finger is Saturn
  • Saturn is the god of agriculture and fertility, he had a lusty and temperous nature, so the Saturn finger represents emotions and somehow conformity.
  • the ring finger is Apollo
  • Apollo is the god of medicine and healing, as well as the leader of the muses. The Apollo finger represents the qualities of healing as well as the arts.
  • the pinkie finger is Mercury
  • Mercury is the messenger god in charge of trade profit and commerce, so those qualities are present in the Mercury finger.

The straighter a finger is the better the quality it represents is manifested. If a finger leans toward another, that finger's quality is influencing (maybe hindering) the other finger's properties.

Simian Line


I just noticed that someone I work with has a simian line (combined head and heart line)on his dominant hand but not on his left hand.
The Simian Line or Simian Crease was named so, because many monkeys have only one line across their palm like this.
People with Simian Lines tend to be very different than other people.
  • Many people with Downs Syndrome have Simian Lines
  • Many serial killers and sociopaths have simian lines
  • People with Simian Lines tend to have extreme tempers
  • People with Simian Lines tend to be very energetic
  • People with Simian Lines tend to be very creative
  • If the line is higher on the hand, it means the person is ruled more by emotions.
  • If the line is lower on the hand, the person tends to be ruled more by their thoughts.
  • It is usually difficult for a person with a Simian line to balance their emotions with logic
Now that I have seen this guy's hands, he is making more sense to me. He has a temper like no one I have ever met. The smallest things make him cry or yell. Yesterday, I heard he stood on the urinal in the bathroom and peeked at someone in a stall, and when the guy got angry, he ran away crying saying it wasn't his fault, he was tired and that made him have to look at another guy on the toilet. (?) I didn't give him a real reading, )I didn't want to ask him for his hands) someone just mentioned to me that he did not have many lines on his palms so I glanced at it when an opportunity arose. I am always being a nosy palm reader like that.
