Palmistry is the art of reading character and destiny from the shape of the hand and the lines of the palm. It is not fortune-telling but about knowing yourself and where you are going. Unlike a psychic reading, the palm gives us a map of our life and it is up to us to make the most of it: through self-awareness we can shape our fate and affect our future.

Left or Right Handed?

The hand you use is called the major, or outer hand. This indicates any future events, as well as what you are like on the outside. The other hand is the minor, or inner hand. This shows your potential, as well as what you are like on the inside.

Right-handed people tend to be more logical because that part is connected to the analytical, left side of the brain. Left-handed people tend to be more creative because that part is connected to the intuitive, right side of the brain.

What hand should I read?

Palmists will mostly examine your most active had which is usually the one you write with. The active hand shows your current and future trends. The passive hand in palmistry tends to show your past or childhood.

Basics of Palmistry:

Mostly men will tend to have fewer lines then a woman. The majority of hands will have the four major lines: the heart, head, life and fate line. So, let’s take a look at these major lines:

Heart Line
It can be said the Heart Line is not just a way telling what will happen but also a way of finding out why things happen. But do not use the heart line to time certain events as is not reliable. Imagine two heart lines extending from the edge of the hand below the little finger to between the first and second fingers. The first line is a deep curve while the second heart line is more straight. The curved line is active in romantic matters while the straight line is passive. The curved heart line is aggressive in love, the straight is receptive. The curved heart line is demonstrative while the straight line thinks about it.

Interestingly the curved line is much more common on male hands while the straight line is more common on female hands. A heart line that becomes a steep curve below the index and middle finger indicates someone who has a strong sexual desire. If the heart line ends up under the index finger it indicates someone who is choosy about their partner........

Head Line
Although the head line shows how a person thinks it does not show how intelligent you are. An average head line ends somewhere under the ring finger. A short head line indicates a person whose thinking is simple and straight to the point. A long head line indicates a person who thinks things through very carefully. A straight head line indicates clear concentrated thinking. A curved head line belongs to a person who likes to play with new ideas. Sloping head lines belong to creative people. Horizontal head lines belong to people who look at the practical side of the matter. Chained head lines belong to highly strung people. A fork in the headline shows the ability to see more than one point of view. A floating head line is indicative of someone with a carefree attitude. A head line that starts under the index finger indicates a brilliant mind.

Life Line
The life line does not indicate how old you will live. What the line reveals is the quality of your life. It is an index of how much vitality, strength and energy you have. A life line running close to the thumb indicates a person of low vitality, sometimes found in the hands of people who suffer chronic fatigue syndrome. A life line that runs a wide curve shows a person with lots of vitality, get up and go. If the head line is stronger than the life line it shows a person who is more mentally than physically active. A chained life line indicates a delicate health. Little lines rising indicate an active personality. Outward swinging lines indicate a love of travel. Most of the small lines on the life line refer to particular events at certain times of your life. A branch leading to the Jupiter mount (index finger) is a sign of academic achievement. A branch that leads to the Saturn mount (third finger) mount indicates a successful property transaction. A branch towards the Apollo mount (fourth finger) indicates monetary gain. A branch towards the Mercury mount (pinky finger) indicates business success.

Fate Line
Strong fate lines belong to people who settle into a pattern of life early. Weak fate lines tend to belong to people who are unsettled and tend to change jobs a lot. Fate lines starting at the very bottom of the palm indicate people who settle into their life path early. When the fate line ends at the head line it indicates a person who seems to lose their way somewhere between 30 to 40 years old. You will find that most fate lines end at the heart line. However if the fate line runs all the way almost to the middle finger these people tend to be active right up into old age. A fate line that is tied to the heart line indicates a restricted childhood. Two fate lines are found on people who pursue two careers at the same time. The absence of a fate line indicates a person who lacks stability. It is also found on the hands of alcoholics and drug addicts.
