Palmistry for dummies
Were you born on 8/8/88?
The two circles of the eights, I'm told, signified perfect unity. Anyone born on that day could look forward to a significant event. However, in occult language, 'significant' is not always a happy word. 'Significant' could mean anything from winning Masterchef to crossing a fault line during an earthquake.
It would be nice to see into the future . . . know the future of your futures or which horse will win the next race. It would be nice, but you wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, would you?
But, if you can't stand the suspense, you could always delve into the future with a little help from palmistry or numerology. These two branches of the occult are based on the concrete, on things you can see quite clearly, hands and numbers. There is nothing mysterious about them, except why they tell the future.
Palmistry for dummies
The study of palmistry is easy. You need neither second sight nor a gold lame turban, although they may help. You learn palmistry the same way you learn French - buy a book about it and memorise it.
Once you can recite the theory, you can put it into practice by reading the nearest palm, and of course, the handiest is your own.
Step one - read your own palm
Reading your own palm is like reading a vital document. Literally, you hold your fate in your hands. This is not light reading, and only good news is welcome. Bad news is a portent of doom - and best ignored.

Palmisty does not deal in everyday matters.
Palmistry tends to generalise. For example, one of the lines on your hand is the headline, and the longer it is, the brainier you are. It won't even hint at what could be about to happen to you, but it will give you some idea how you will react. . . if your fingers are long with knotty joints, you will think about it very very carefully; if your fingers are short and smooth, you will detonate.
Nor does palmistry give times, dates, places of the future...
but it does leave a trail of landmarks from your past. It hints at what you might do next, but it isn't compulsory.
The truth?
What you read in your hand is not your fate. It is a finely crafted etching of your character - pointing out what you might do if you are given enough rope.

Numerology for dummies
On the other hand, if you are good with figures, numerology may be more your line. If you were born on the eighth day of the eighth month in the eighty eighth year of the twentieth century (8/8/88), you can savour its harmony. Indeed, many people decided to be married on that day.

Choose your own future
Having said that, numerology lets you glimpse the future while improving your maths. Furthermore, you will have a choice of futures, depending on which numerology book you read. And, believe me, there are many.

More about the number 8
One book may focus on the day you were born. Let's continue with the number eight. If you were born on an eight day (eight and any number which adds up to eight ie 17, 26) then you are under the influence of all things eight. Your book will tell you that eight people are born in the shadow of Saturn and they are often misunderstood and lonely. It then goes on to tell you to avoid all things eight. Don't live in an eight house. Don't get married on an eight day. In fact, stay in bed on an eight day!

If you don't like 8, try 6
If being an eight person doesn't appeal to you, try another numerology book which uses every number of your birthday. If it is 8/6/1945, then you add them together and the answer is 33. To reduce this to a single digit (numerology was invented before there were more numbers than fingers), you add the three and three together and - voila! - you are now a 'six' person. Six is a fine hard working, honest number.

If you don't like 6, try another numerology book
On the other hand, there is a school of thought which says that six is the number of the Devil, and besides, what fun is there being fine, hard working and honest?
Try another numerology book which includes your name too. Every letter is given a number, and again, you add them together. If the answer doesn't open up enough avenues, simply add your middle names, house number, licence number, credit card numbers, phone numbers. Stop fiddling the books when you find a number which predicts incredible financial success, then go ahead and do it.
