For a personal horoscope

Palmistry is the study of the shape of the hands and lines on the palms to access life patterns of a person. It has been a study that dates back to prehistoric times and predates astrology as paintings of Man’s curiosity of the lines on a hand have been discovered in cave paintings in various parts of the world.

The Chinese have developed a system of hand analysis based on the five elements of: Water – Air – Fire – Earth- Ether. Their uniqueness is that they seek a prediction of life – past and present to determine where such a life path will lead them in the future and their destiny lies in their own hands. Wu Hsiang palmistry offers a chance to correct the course of a life that is destined for disaster or maintain a course that will bring personal peace and harmony.

Much of this is based on sound Eastern Philosophy that man lives in the midst of Nature and is part of it. When man is in harmony with himself then he reacts harmoniously with Nature and thus creates an environment that brings peace.

If man is distributed or unbalanced, he creates disharmony that generates from his being and disrupts his surroundings. As an example, a man who is discontented with his life seeks forgetfulness in alcohol, he then creates unhappiness when he squanders his earnings on drinks and in his state of intoxication loses control and beats up his wife and children who are already suffering due to the lack of money to buy food or the necessities of life.

This behavior from the head of a household, whose role is to provide and protect his family, spaws negative traits in his children who in turn are more prone to emulate their fathers behavior. His wife is also subjected to her own sufferings which will in turn force her to create more unhappiness and disharmony.

Wu Hsiang seeks to warn of misguided pathways and direct the seeker of knowledge to a more meaningful and fulfilling way of life. The belief is that the future is based on your present acts and you are responsible for your future based on your past and present acts.

Wu Hsiang can predict if you will be rich, famous and get married but more important, it can predict if you can handle your good fortune or if you will destroy yourself. This allows you to take measures before hand, to steer you clear of disastrous mistakes.

In Chinese Palmistry of Wu Hsiang, the hand resembles the Tree of Life. It develops from the sound base of Earth from which emotions or Water springs, that gives rise to Fire or creativity that depends of Air or intellect and the result is spiritual awareness, Development and peace on Earth.

Words of love seldom or never leave their lips but their deeds and action speaks for them.

Such hands are capable of earning a good living from practical work and they do not yearn for glamour or high office. Dressing up in a tuxedo will make them very uncomfortable and women with such a hand-type prefer the smells of herbs and the fresh smell of nature rather than sophisticatedly blended perfumes.

They are born to lead and are best when they hold such positions no matter in what capacity. The negative Fire Type Hands could be leaders of gangs or criminal pursuits and the superior Fire Type can become great generals or Company Executives.

To ensure that they maintain a healthy and fulfilling life, they should never allow their minds or bodies to become idle, instead, they should keep active all their lives, with an interesting hobby to occupy their lives when the challenges of their careers come to an end.

Freedom of choice and movement is their way of life though they long for an anchor to give them some stability. They are the inventors and the adventurers. All forms of communications in their professional life, will bring them the satisfaction they need.

In love, they communicate freely their feelings and expect a similar response otherwise they become insecure which seems like a paradox because they refused to be committed in love but require the security it affords.

The Ether Hand

Ether, Energy is when the state of consciousness is attained at every level. It is a culmination of all elements in to one and the harmony of all elements into a whole. The Ether hand is the refined hand of the higher intellect and philosopher. The fingers are gently taper with the sageness of bamboo knots at each phalange which rises from the triangular lotus pod shaped palms.

It is the hand of sages and wise men who view life on Earth as a passage to the final step in their evolution or re-incarnation. Their role is as a teacher, a guide, a counselor in the path to righteousness and inner peace. They appear in any of the Earth and at every level of society as it is not only the poor and deprived that earns the right to a better Karma.

Such hands are seen in King’s holy men, doctors and those who take on a mission to correct the injustices on Earth or bring to it some joy and goodness. These are considered “old hands” where the experiences of past lives have etched lines of wisdom and inner knowledge and who are equipped to open the hearts and minds of the unaware, the meaning of true life.
