Palmistry : Hand Divisions

The Dominant hand gives detail about your present circumstances and the choices you have made. The Non-Dominant provides the background for the details of the Active hand.

Compare the size of your hands. One will be slightly larger than the other. The larger hand is your Active, or Dominant hand. The smaller is the Recessive, or Non-Dominant.

The palms supply detail from the owner's perspective. The back of the hand relates to the views of others.

The Mounts

The simplest divisions of the hands are the areas called 'Mounts'.

The Mounts of the hands may be elevated, flat, or depressed. Elevated mounts show a physical, direct approach to the aspect represented by that mount. Depressed mounts denote a mental or indirect approach to that aspect. Flat mounts show no real influence in the subject's life.
