Let’s delve into the fascinating world of chirology, an art whose very name derives from the combination of “kheir,” meaning hand, and “logos,” meaning study or speech.
The gestures of one hand, as well as the hand itself, evoke a variety of symbols and values associated with those symbols.
Consider the act of a handshake, for instance – it serves as a gesture to solidify agreements or extend a helping hand, demonstrating a spirit of assistance and selflessness.
Chirology, originating from ancient Eastern traditions in India and transiting through Greece before making its way to the Western world in antiquity, has unfortunately lost some of its significance due to the exploitation and inauthentic practices of charlatans and self-proclaimed experts.
Chirology should not be confused with palmistry, although these two concepts have often been intertwined and developed independently as they transcended different cultures and ethnic groups, including the rich heritage of nomadic and gypsy peoples.
At its core, chirology serves the purest purpose of acquiring profound self-knowledge.
It allows individuals to unlock their hidden potential by unveiling personal characteristics that are intricately woven between the lines of their hands.
Now, let’s take a look at the five most important signs of chirology:
1. The hidden cross
The most powerful sign in palmistry is recognized as the X shape, nestled amidst the lines of the head and the heart.
This unique formation signifies an extraordinary level of awareness and insight into the inherent strengths that reside within an individual.
This enigmatic symbol holds profound significance, encapsulating a person’s deep understanding of the abilities they must nurture and harness to truly thrive.
This sign, which is located at the base of each finger and is in turn associated with a certain planet, reveals the importance of the celestial body that is particularly related to the line that is present on the hand.
The index finger is associated with Jupiter, which is a symbol of power and good fortune. The middle finger is associated with Saturn, which is a symbol of discipline and severity.
The ring finger is associated with Apollo, a successful messenger, while the little finger is associated with Mercury, the engine of various magical and supernatural powers.
3. The pyramid.
This symbol, which can be found at the base of the ring finger, has a meaning that appears to be unfavorable at first glance.
It is an indication that one has a block in their personal karma due to events in their past that prevent them from positively developing their potential.
When these lines are found at the base of the little finger, it is a sign that the person has an excellent ability to heal physical and mental wounds.
They must work on developing this gift so that they can direct their energies toward helping others and the healing process.
5. Astral lines.
Shamans and magicians often have lines near the palm’s base, which is a sign of their power.
People who are able to reach levels that are beyond the astral and physical planes, as well as those who are able to transcend the concepts of space and time.
