What is astro-palmistry?
Astro-palmistry is the combination of natal astrology with hand analysis.
The horoscope describes the life template which is a description of all the different
personality characteristics and potentials.
The hands record which aspects of this template find expression in real life.
When these astrology and palmistry are
combined the result is a system that is
without peer in the diagnostic professions.

Those who practice astrology understand
how the horoscope reveals the
extraordinary depth of the psyche.
The hands contains two dynamic maps of
the psyche, reflecting the inner and outer
worlds. These maps show the effects of
the past, the present state of mind, and
future direction should present behaviour
continue.
The dynamic content found within the
hands gives expression to the static
picture represented by the horoscope.
In ages past astrologers knew both arts and in Asia today practitioners are competent
in both.
The lines on the palm can be correlated with astrological aspects. Because the lines
on the palm can change the practitioner has an excellent tool for anticipating the
future effects of transits with the opportunity of suggesting alternative and enabling
courses of behaviour.

Astro-palmistry: About the teacher..
Peter Burns began reading palms in 1984
and spent seven years consulting at the
Fremantle markets in Western Australia
seeing approximately 1500 people each
year.
Since then he has been teaching and
lecturing throughout Australia and America.
Peter took up astrology in the late 1980's
and gained his Astrology Diploma (FAA) in
1997, and now runs correspondence
courses in horary astrology.
He served as president of the Victorian Astrologers Association (VAA) 2006-2008, and has
been the editor of the quarterly national Journal for the Federation of Australian
Astrologers (FAA) since 2000.
Peter has been a regular guest speaker on ABC radio in WA and on 3RRR in Melbourne
Australia. His successful predictions include the 2008 global financial crisis.
Peter is keen to promote the advantages to consulting astrologers of incorporating
palmistry into their practice. He points out that the hands include planetary indicators and
the lines of the palm correlate with transits. The hands provide the big life picture and
show how the horoscope, which is the life template, is expressed in real life.
Astrology and palmistry are sister Arts and are a natural combination. Practising
astrologers who use both have a big advantage in being able to assist clients.
In 2011 Starcrafts Publishing is published "The Palmistry Textbook" by Peter Burns.

Advantages to astrologers of learning astro-palmistry.
The addition of palmistry to the modern astrologer’s ‘toolkit’ has the
following advantages:
The ability to identify which parts of the horoscope manifest in real
life;
The hands provide an understanding of how the dynamic chart
patterns are expressed;
The hands reveal a clear picture of the client’s state of mind and
emotional well-being.
The hands provide a timing correlation to validate transits and
provide information on how they are likely to manifest.
The capacity to be of service to clients is greatly enhanced when astrology and palmistry
are combined as a diagnostic tool.
By themselves the hands are an excellent indicator of client’s psychological health and
general well-being, past present and future.
When the horoscope and the hands are combined the practitioner has a diagnostic tool
that is without peer in the helping professions.
There is also a financial advantage in learning astro-palmistry: Clients are curious
about astrology but they are fascinated by palmistry and astro-palmistry. At public events
where both are offered the queue for the palmist is usually much longer than that for the
astrologer.

An examples of how astro-palmistry works
Lets look at an example of how astro-palmistry can be applied to your natal horoscope or
that of your clients.
On the hands the place where the Saturn Line crosses the Head Line represents the first
Saturn return, at approx 28 years of age.
As astrologers we know that the first return of Saturn to its natal position represents a
significant life turning point, an important part of the maturation cycle.
We also know that the way that this event is experienced is described by the house and
sign placement of natal Saturn, as well as aspects it makes to other planets.
When we look at the hands we can see how this event is actually experienced by noting
what changes are indicated when the Saturn Line crosses the Head Line.
In the natal horoscope below Saturn is opposed by Mercury. Mercury is associated with
reason and clear thinking. Note that it is in the sign of its detriment in Pisces.
This woman ran a small scrap booking business. On the right is an image of one of her
hands. The Saturn Line comes to a stop when it meets the Head Line. This indicates that
her career came to a stop because of a miscalculation. Her finances were a mess and
she failed to keep good bookkeeping records.
Thus we see how the consequences of what is shown in the horoscope is manifested on
the hands. This is only one example of how the a major transit is shown both in the
horoscope and on the hands. Because the lines of the palm can be dated it is possible to
correlate any astrological transit with indications on the palm at any time in life.
