Over thousands of years, Hindu palmists have observed special symbols located on the hands of people. They learnt that the combination of a few lines in the form of these symbols could add more depth to a palm reading than simply reading each line one at a time. In other words, the sum of a few lines on a hand could give a greater meaning than each line could all by itself. These combinations of lines were given names and entered mainstream palmistry in India through its shastras (ancient texts). This style of palmistry was mostly practiced by monks, hermits, and other holy people. Over the course of time, the people who could interpret these symbols became fewer and fewer until a large number of the symbols became lost over a period of time. This book attempts to save the remaining symbols that are still known for future generations of palmists. This is the first book of its kind to catalogue and record the symbols of palmistry that are used in India. It is a vital reference for beginner palmists and an essential skill for the experts alike.
With dozens of illustrations and examples of actual palm prints, "Destiny in the Palm of Your Hand" shows you how you can use palmistry to gain an understanding of where you are coming from and where you are headed.

The Ramayana was written by Valmiki, a famous monk, astrologer and palmist. He wrote a system of astropalmistry into his classic, and kept the details of his system hidden in plain sight using mythic symbols. This leads to many questions about the characters in the Ramayana that cannot be answered, but become obvious once the code of astrology and palmistry is uncovered. Why did Kumbhakarna sleep for six months at a time? Because this is the period of time that Jupiter stays retrograde. Why was Sugriva the son of Surya (the Sun god)? Because Sugriva's character is a metaphor for the way in which the Sun interacts with other planets in your birth chart and on your hands. The answers to these questions, and many more, are in the pages of this book. You will also learn how to use Valmik's system of astropalmistry to make predictions for yourself and others. It is unique to the other systems of classical Vedic astrology and palmistry and has something new for even the experts in this field. Valmiki's Astropalmistry is a vital book for those interested in Mythology, Astrology or Palmistry.
