Read your fortune by the yogas formed on your palm

Although Astrology (Jyotish Shastra), Palmistry (Hasta Rekha Shastra) and Numerology have developed as separate subjects or sciences in recent times, the latter two sciences had developed as part or branches of Astrology in ancient times. In fact, Numerology had developed as `Swara Shastra’ which suggests that the ancient sages in India in particular had laid more emphasis on the vibrational or phonetic aspect of the science than on the numerical aspect.

Palmistry and Numerology – Offshoots from Astrology
Both Palmistry and Numerology – the modern day `Swara Shastra, concede the influence of planets on man. For example, in Palmistry the Mounts and Lines on the hand are named after planets. And the characteristics of different planets are taken into account in reading the significations of the Lines, Mounts and signs on them. In Numerology too in interpreting the values of numbers, colours, gemstones, etc. planetary influence is taken into account. Therefore, nomenclature or terminology occurring Astrology is widely used in Palmistry and Numerology as well.

The same Yogas giving same results
Certain favourable and unfavourable planetary combinations are termed as Yogas in Astrology. Astrology also speaks of favourable Yogas like Amala, Anapha, Adhi and Vesi and unfavourable ones like Daridra and Papakartari. Some of our readers might be surprised to learn that Yogas by the same names giving results similar to those described in Astrology occur in Palmistry 
as well.

We hope to discuss some of such favourable and unfavourable Yogas occurring in Palmistry.
