Our lives our in our hands, which provide clues to who we are, what we have been, and what might be. "Just as a pebble thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create similar effects on our palms." —Michael Scotts

The basic premise here is that our hands provide a glimpse of our personalities, health, strengths, and weaknesses—and even what may happen to us in the future. Each line, mound, and finger is a clue that can easily be deciphered if you have the right information.
Fenton covers the basics of hand reading, including the lines, mounts, fingers, and thumb. She shows readers how to judge someone's character, health, love and relationship interests, moneymaking ability, and long-term destiny.
Chapters include:
- The Map of the Hand
- The Phalanges (bones between the fingers and joints)

Palmistry Plain & Simple - Sasha Fenton
INTRODUCTION
Hand Reading Made Easy
In this book, I show how easy it is to read hands for fun and pleasure. I even show how to weigh someone up without them knowing that you are doing it. In fact, I start this book by setting a scene where a woman, then a man who are out on the town spot someone attractive and want to know a little more about them. I show how they can do this just by looking casually at their hands. Use this book and practice on your friends to see how close you can get to their characters, objectives and goals. A little palmistry knowledge can give you a lot of fun, and it never fails to impress.
After the fun section, I cover the basics of hand reading, including the lines, mounts, fingers, and thumb—all the other components that relate to the subject. I show how to judge someone's character and long term destiny. I tend to use the masculine he
and him
in books such as this because it makes them easier to read. Naturally, everything in my book relates to both sexes and every type of person. At the end of the book I return to the theme of checking out a new acquaintance, this time to judge how the two of you might get along together.
This book will not turn you into a professional hand reader overnight. That takes years of practice and tons of knowledge, but if it encourages you to seek more insight into the subject of hand reading, you can always move on to the heavy stuff later. The most comprehensive palmistry book around these days is Modern Palmistry, which I co-wrote with the fine palmist and illustrator, Malcolm Wright.
So for now, take the easy route to developing your knowledge and your social skills with this Plain and Simple book.
Good luck.

Check Out that Man!
You and your friends are enjoying a night out on the town and you spot an interesting looking guy, but how can you judge on first acquaintance whether he is a lover or a loser? Well, there is a way that you can give him the once-over without him even knowing what you are up to. You can check out his hands even at a distance of a few feet. Now, ladies, we don't all want the same thing from our men, so what you see might suit you but not your friend—and what you see may make you feel that this man has the potential to be Mr. Right, or perhaps just Mr. Right For the Time Being . . .
Hand Size
Start by observing the size of his hands, bearing in mind the size of the man as a whole. Do they seem to fit him properly? Are they too large or too small for his frame? A discrepancy here means an imbalance in his nature because his hands should have some connection to the rest of his body.
His Hands are Small
A man with small hands is a busy man and he works hard. He may be a hot number at sales and marketing or he may be a clever money-maker. If the hands are rather hard and firm looking, he will be able to read a balance sheet at a glance, and he can make a deal. If they are soft, his aptitude will be for sales, marketing and persuasion. Either way, this man is quite likely to commit to a relationship, because he has committed himself to working for a living. Whether he is available, or even interested in a long-term relationship, remains to be seen.
Try to judge whether the hands are rounded, as this denotes sociability and a desire for variety in life. This man makes friends easily and he has a sense of the ridiculous, but he easily becomes bored, so you must stay on your toes to keep him interested.
This guy wants a base, a home, and possibly a family, but he loves to move about in search of opportunities and he may travel as part of his job. He probably enjoys traveling, so even if he has not reached that moment in life when he feels the need to settle down, he could be up for an exotic vacation in good company—your company perhaps.
This chap is quick to think, act, move and make up his mind, but he can change it just as quickly. If you do travel with this guy, be prepared to move around. He can lie on a beach only until he has finished reading his book or listened to the ball game on his earphone radio. Once that is over, he will be ready to look around and see what the place has to offer. After forty-eight hours, he may be ready to go home, get back to work or find another holiday location. If he disappears for a few hours, he might even have found a new girlfriend! It may be as well to pack some books yourself, because you could spend the next few days alone—or with someone else.
Small, Less Developed Hands
If his hand looks somewhat undeveloped, with stubby fingers and few lines showing on it, he may be very pedestrian. He is unwilling to try anything new or to be too adventurous, because he prefers a regular job and a well-ordered life. Unfortunately, he may also have a short fuse, due to his inability to express himself.
If his hands are more shapely than the elementary kind and if they look rather firm, this is the hard working type who could well be on the road to success. If his cell phone rings constantly, he is probably keeping in touch with his office—or a string of girlfriends!
When it comes to lovemaking, he knows what to do—after all, he has had plenty of girls to practice on. Do not expect him to spend day after day in languorous lovemaking though, because he gets bored with everything—even his own pleasures. He soon feels the need to get up, look for something to eat, check out the progress of his sports team, phone the office and even send a text message to his mother—or perhaps his ex-wife!
He is quick on the uptake, so he will grasp what you tell him in an instant, but he will not want to listen to long stories or hear about your feelings.
His downside is a quick temper and a sharp, sarcastic tongue. When he suddenly turns on you, you will wonder whether all those lovely things he said to you yesterday (this morning, half an hour ago) were true, or whether he really thinks so little of you. However, the sun soon comes out again and you forgive him. He is all sweetness and light, until the next bout of aggressive mouth syndrome.
Depending on your nature (and your hand shape), you might put up with this in the hope that he will improve, or put up with it until you can drop him. If his hands are small, rounded and
