So, Dark Eyes, Alissa, what about an "X" on the palm?
I read in one palimstry book - but only one - that an x anywhere on the palm indicates pyschic ability. I have 4 of them - and they don't seem to be made from crossings of my major lines, either - just like random "x's". One is right below my first finger, one is on the fleshy mound just above my thumb, one is pretty much below my ring finger & the final one I can see most easily is large and right in the middle of my palm. They are on my dominate hand, although I aslo have some on my other hand, too. I haven't always had them - they've developed and waned over over time. Sometimes they are stronger & more visible then other times. So what *do* these mean????
Sorry for such a late response, amyel, I just found this thread
I agree with DE, that it could be either a cross or a star that you're describing.
Crosses, especially the mystic cross, can be a sign of strong intuition. I read intuition entirely differently ... and in a way that flies in the face of all "established" palmistry methods (but that's typical of me). I don't deal much with crosses, and DE's explanation sounds faboo to me for how to interpret them.
A star is way different though. The one in your fleshy thumb mound may be an indication that there are some extremely difficult matters you're dealing with in this time that is literally sucking your energy into it, especially if the lines run deep here or pit the palm.
The thumb's mound of Venus is typically an area that shows stresses and concerns. A star there is fairly untypical, in my experience. It may also mean you give too much importance to mundane trivial concerns, and that you *let* them steal away your attention and inner strength.
A "cross" below your first finger, depending on what you're describing, could be actually be a "teacher's square". I'd have to see it to really be sure (typical palm reader answer eh?)
A star centered there is considered by Cheiro to be a sign of "great honor, power and position, ambition gratified, and the ultimate success and triumph of the individual." Happy news there eh? A star that is not centered, but in the region, shows one with great ambition, "but unless the rest of the hand be exceptionally fine, it does not promise distinction r power to the individual." (Cheiro, p.121).
Below the ring finger (on the Sun mound), a star often indicates someone who is involved in the arts, especially performance arts, and when well developped, it can be an indication of someone who spends time onstage in this pursuit. I see it most often with people who have several fingers that are well apart from the rest -- another indication that this person likes to set themselves apart from others, enjoys flaunting convention and drawing attention to themselves (all good traits for a performer
).
A cross that's large and in the middle of the palm sounds like what DE has already described to me too, so I don't have anything to add there.
I dunno ... it's always tricky when not looking at the real hand, but maybe some of those basics are helpful.
