The science of palm reading, also known as palmistry, is a way of observing the shapes and lines on the palms to predict a person's life and personality. While there is no evidence that palm lines affect life, palmistry is still fun to practice. When you want to interpret the line of the hand, look for the main line in the middle of the palm. While checking, start paying attention to the secondary or minor lines to see how they affect your life. The more you learn, the more you will be able to read other people's palms and tell them the results.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Interpreting Main Lines
Step 1. Choose a dominant hand, or an active one
Check the hand that is used most often because that is what is considered an active hand. The non-dominant hand is a passive hand and is usually not examined because the lines are not very clear. Turn your palm to your face to make it easier to read.
Compare active and passive hands and see if there is a difference. The line on the passive palm is an innate attribute, while the line on the active palm indicates how hard you are trying to develop yourself
Step 2. Read the life line to determine well-being and passion for life
The life line is a long curved line that runs from the wrist to the base of the thumb. The life line shows the events you've been through and how those experiences influenced the way you view life. The length shows how other people affect your life, while the depth shows the ease of living in the future.
- If your life line is short or shallow, it means that you are often sick or feel weak. A long, deep line indicates that you are in good health and rarely get sick.
- Check if your life line is branching up or down. An upward branch towards the finger indicates that there will be a positive change, and a downward branch indicates a negative event.
- The life line does not indicate age. So, don't worry if the line is short.
Step 3. Look at the header line to find out your learning style and your desire to increase your knowledge
Position the head line just above the life line, across the palm. Long lines indicate that you are thinking through situations methodically, while short lines indicate that you are more impulsive. Check the depth because deep lines mean you have a strong memory and shallow lines indicate difficulty focusing.
- If the line of the head is cut off in the middle, it means you will experience mental problems or you have experienced a lot of learning or enlightenment about life.
- See if your head line is straight or wavy. Wavy lines indicate that you are dealing with problems creatively, while straight lines mean that you are solving problems traditionally.
- If the head line is connected to the life line, it means that you are introverted and wise. The more parts of the head line meet the life line, the easier it will be to worry and make it difficult for you to make decisions.
Step 4. Interpret the heart line for emotional stability
The heart line, also known as the love line, is above the head line and runs across the palm. If the heart line starts from the base of the index finger, it means you are happy with the relationship. However, the heart line starting from the base of the middle finger indicates that you are not calm in a relationship. A deep heart line indicates that your personal relationships are significant in life.
- The length of the heart line indicates the length of the relationship, and a branch or break in the middle indicates several relationships at once.
- If the heart line is curved, it means you are good at communicating with your partner. A straight line indicates that you are stable and approachable, but may be shy or passive in the relationship.
Tip:
If the heart line and the head line overlap or are related, it is called a Simian line. If you have a Simian line, it means you have a hard time separating action from emotion.
Step 5. Check the fate line to find out how your life is affected by external factors
The fate line is a vertical line running down the middle of the palm. The fate line represents how other people or events that are out of your control affect your life. If your line of fate is deep, it means that you have great ability to start a career or run a business. A shallow line means you are a hard worker, but your career has changed several times.
Itchy hands hint that changes are imminent in your life
Method 2 of 3: Reading the Secondary Line
Step 1. Look for the sun line to find out the potential for fame and legacy
The solar line, also known as the Apollo line, is a vertical line usually located under the ring finger. If the line is deep, you may be very successful and famous. Shallow lines mean you are still developing your skills and are still working hard to achieve success. If the line of the sun is broken, maybe you will achieve success after crossing obstacles.
Tip:
The sun line may not exist. If you don't have a sun line, you're a hard worker, but you have to remember to enjoy life once in a while.
Step 2. Read the relationship line to see how you would respond to commitment
The relationship line, also known as the marriage line, is the small horizontal line that runs on the palm side of the hand, below the little finger. A long or deep relationship line means that you want a long term commitment, while a shallow or short line means that you are in several relationships or are repeating an old commitment.
If there are several lines of relationship in the palm of your hand, it means that you are passionate about a love relationship
Step 3. Interpret intuition lines to determine your ability to read people's characters
The intuition line is a curved line that starts near the bottom of your pinky towards the wrist. If your intuition line is clear, it means you can quickly identify other people's feelings and sense whether they are positive or negative. When this line of intuition is broken, it means that you empathize with the other person, but must focus on your own moods and emotions.
You may not have an intuitive line, but you may still empathize and understand other people's feelings
Step 4. Check the health line to determine your ability to care for others
The health line is a diagonal or curved line that starts from the side of the palm near the little finger towards the wrist. A long and deep health line means you are a supportive and caring person. Not everyone has a health line, but if you don't have one, that doesn't mean you can't take care of others.
The broken part on the health line represents a disease that you or your loved ones have suffered
Step 5. Look for a financial line if you want to check whether to be rich
The financial line is a short diagonal line that runs from the base of the little finger. A deep and straight financial line means that you are smart to invest and will get rich. Wavy and shallow lines indicate that you have to work harder to get rich.
Method 3 of 3: Checking Minor Lines
Step 1. Check the Belt of Venus to determine anxiety in love
The belt of Venus is a curved line along the middle and ring fingers. If the line is clear, you live life comfortably and easily empathize with others. A slightly blurred line indicates that you don't feel secure in the relationship and can trouble it by building trust in the other person.
The belt of Venus also represents a past trauma that made you lose faith in other people, but you can work on being able to trust again
Step 2. See if there is a Jupiter Ring for leadership attributes
See if there is a line under the index finger, if there is, it's Jupiter's Ring. If the line is clear, it means that you are well respected and successful in a leadership position. If the line is thin, you may have to keep trying to build skills until you succeed.
If you don't have a Jupiter Ring, you can wear the ring on your index finger for added luck
Step 3. Look for Saturn's Rings to see if you get frustrated easily
The ring of Saturn is at the base of the middle finger and signifies a pessimistic attitude. Maybe you get frustrated quickly or feel like there are a lot of obstacles in your life. If you have a Saturn Ring, try to be optimistic, communicate well, and empathize with others because a positive attitude can help clear the line.
Step 4. Check the Apollo Rings to see if you're creative
The Apollo ring is a curved line at the base of the ring finger and may be rare. If you have the Ring of Apollo, it means that you suppress creativity and do many things with a negative attitude. To erase this line, you can try to always be positive and free up creativity.
If you have the Ring of Apollo, try starting an artistic or creative hobby, such as drawing, painting, or writing
Step 5. Interpret the bracelet lines to find a balance between physical and mental
The bracelet line is on the wrist and determines physical, mental and spiritual balance. Deep and solid lines mean you are balanced and have a prosperous life, while shallow lines indicate self-balance.
