Palmistry : Texture and Colour [1996]

Examine the skin at the back (not the palms !) of your hands or even the wrists.

If the skin is coarse and has a rough sort of feeling and large pores are visible, then you are full of strength and vitality. This is more common in men rather than women. If you possess such a skin texture, you are likely to be naturally charming, full of a heady animal like magnetism and has strong material ambitions.

If your skin is smooth, delicate and fine, it indicates a sensitive person who is by nature shy and timid. If you have this kind of skin, you are likely to love beauty and things of the mind. In addition, you are likely to enjoy poetry, music and tends to be moody. You are less excited by materialistic or worldly gains.

The colour of your hand is lso significant. Besides your natural skin tone, if your hand is slightly pink or reddish, it means that you are a full-blooded person who is warm-hearted,impulsive, quick-tempered and passionate. But watch out for people with very red hands (i.e if the redness is not due to sheer hard work) as they tend to possess violent tempers.

If you possess pale or almost white hands that lack healthy colours and appear almost translucent, you are likely to be introverted, shy, docile, inclined to depression and moodiness and very hard to provoke.
