We usually see our physical appearance to learn more about who we are, but did you know that something as simple as the lines in your palm can reveal incredible things about you?
Palmistry is an ancient art of characterizing and fortune-telling through the reading of palm. A palm reader will look closely at the subject’s palm and interpret the future and past based on the lines and shapes they find in the subject’s palm.
If you open up your palms and just take a quick glance, you will probably notice that you have four lines running across your hands with varying lengths. These four main lines are called the heart, head, life, and fate lines, and each reveals something different about you. Palm reading has been practiced since ancient times in parts of Asia, Persia, Israel, and Babylonia, to name a few locations.
HERE’S HOW TO READ YOUR PALM:
1. LOOK AT BOTH YOUR HANDS SIDE BY SIDE.
If the lines look different when you compare them on both your hands, this means you have put in considerable effort to change your original nature. Now, put your focus on the hand you write with, your dominant hand.
2. LOCATE THE 4 MAIN LINES IN YOUR PALM: THE HEART, HEAD, LIFE, AND FATE LINES.
The lines can be read in either direction depending on which tradition you are following.
3. TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO YOUR HEART LINE.
If the line extends from the side of your hand to below your index finger, you’re happy with your love life.
If the line ends below your middle finger, you’re selfish when it comes to love.
If the line ends between your middle and ring finger, you fall in love easily.
If you have a straight, short heart line, romance doesn’t really interest you.
If it’s close to your fingers, you are a passionate, sometimes jealous, person.
If it goes all the way across, you keep your emotions locked away.
If it touches your lifeline, your heart gets broken easily.
If the line curves up toward your index finger, you don’t shy away from showing affection.
If it’s straight and parallel to your headline, you keep your emotions in check.
If the heart line is wavy, this indicates that you have had many lovers, but not many serious relationships.
If there are gaps in the line, you have had a broken heart at least once.
If there are little short lines that cross over the heart line, you have a hard time remaining faithful to your partner.
4. NOW, LOOK JUST BELOW YOUR HEART LINE AND FIND YOUR HEADLINE.
If the line is short, you enjoy physical challenges over mental ones.
If it’s straight and extends all the way across the hand, you are a logical, straightforward thinker.
If the line is wavy or zigzags, you tend to flit from one thing to another and have a hard time remaining focused.
If it curves downward toward the wrist, you are a creative, trusting person.
If the headline doesn’t touch your lifeline, you have an adventurous spirit.
If it has circles on it, you have experienced much emotional turmoil.
If the headline has multiple crosses, this indicates significant, life-altering decisions.
5. NOW, IT’S TIME TO READ YOUR LIFELINE.
This is the vertical line closest to your thumb. Contrary to popular belief, it actually says nothing about how long you will live.
If the line is deep, you have great enthusiasm for life and long to reach your full potential.
If it’s shallow and faint, you don’t have an ambitious drive.
If it’s curved, you are a strong individual.
If the lifeline is straight, you take new relationships slowly.
If it’s broken, you’ve experienced an unexpected change in your life.
If it has circles, you have likely been seriously injured or hospitalized.
If you have multiple lifelines, you have a lot of vibrancy and life about you.
6. FINALLY, LOOK AT YOUR FATE LINE.
This vertical line can be found in the middle of your palm.
If it is deep and straight, you have a very solid, promising career.
If it’s faint, you don’t like your job very much.
If it has lots of folks coming off it, you’ve had a very turbulent career.
If it starts from your lifeline but later splits off, you’ve been ambitious since a young age, and prefer an entrepreneurial approach to life.
If it joins with the lifeline in the middle, you may have or will later give up your interests and desires for the sake of others.
If the fate line starts at the base of the thumb and then crosses the lifeline, your family and friends greatly support you.
