Palmar dermatoglyphics are much the same as fingerprints, in that they are formed when the person is still in the womb, and they don't change through life in the way that lines do.
However, they can break down into “string of pearls” formations if the person becomes ill or if they become addicted to something.
Palmar loops can give us a fascinating glimpse into a person's character.
This formation occurs between the Jupiter and Saturn finger and is quite rare. In Vedic palmistry, the person who is fortunate enough to have this is supposed to have a charmed life and is blessed with charisma, good looks, power, and kudos. It can also mean high breeding with royal connections, or the person might have descended from important and powerful people. The person will have a regal look and good bearing, with fine taste in furnishings and food. When these people enter a room, there will be an air of importance about them, and they will certainly have the “X factor.”
I asked Sasha if she had any good stories about the rajah loop, as I had never seen one in my career, and what she told me was fascinating:
I was working at a large London festival of mind, body and spirit, where you do one reading after another fairly quickly. One day, two handsome, youngish men, both with the look of Seve Ballesteros about them, sat down together in front of me, although only one of them had booked a reading. They were so alike they were clearly brothers. My client thrust his hands out and after a quick look at the back of his hands and his fingernails, I turned his hand over and saw a rajah loop on each palm. Seeing one rajah loop is rare, but seeing two is almost unheard of. I glanced up and told my client he must have royal blood running in his veins. His eyebrows shot up and he said he and his brother were Dukes of Braganza, which meant they were members of the Portuguese royal family. I asked if I could see the other brother's hand and sure enough, he also carried a rajah loop on each hand.
This is located between the Apollo and Saturn fingers. The owners will be studious, strong minded, and reliable. They take life very seriously and try to make the best of themselves, especially in education. There will be a quest for knowledge, and the more of it the better. My grandmother told me that this formation on the palm would rarely see its owner suffer with senile dementia, as their mind stays forever young and alert.
This fits between the Mercury and Apollo fingers. These people are fun loving, mischievous, and have a naughty sense of the ridiculous. They can cheer people up and bring a light-hearted atmosphere to any gathering. If the loop is high up on the hand, the owners will love animals and often subscribe to animal charities and events. If the loop has a central whorl, they are gifted in foreign languages and could find work as interpreters or even live abroad.
This will be side by side with the loop of humor, between the Mercury and Apollo fingers. Although it has been known in the past as a sign of self interest and vanity, modern day palmists tend to look on this as people with style who will like to look after themselves and who have a good eye for fashion, color, and interior design and decorating. Their creative streak is strong and they are inventive. On an artistic hand, the owner will probably have a career in fashion and design.
This is found at the end of the head line and is usually very distinctive and quite large. The owner will have a memory like an elephant and will keep details from long ago stored in his head like a computer. If they are shown something just once, they will get the hang of it and never forget the procedure. They remember names and addresses of years gone by, and have the knack of clever and witty conversation. However, they can bear a grudge, as even negative thoughts will get stored away and never be forgotten.
This loop sits between the Luna Mount and the Mount of Mars, linking with psychic skills and imagination. These people will tend to rely on their own judgment, their motto being carpe diem . . . seize the day!
They have an uncanny knack of reading your mind and may have strong feelings of world events before they happen, especially if the loop has a whorl inside. Loops in the Luna area show a love of nature and outdoor pursuits like camping, canoeing, skiing, and hiking.
