Reading Palm Lines
Reading Palm Lines or Palmistry is the art of knowing someone’s characteristics through their palm lines. The origin where palmistry began is still unknown, but many believe that it started in India and spread through China, Persia, Egypt, and then to the rest of the world. Palmistry is not hard to learn but needs a lot of practice to be able to analyze a person’s characteristics correctly.
If you’re interested to know how to read palm lines, here is your beginner’s guide to help you start your journey.
Your Guide To Reading Palm Lines
To be able to read palm lines, you’ll have to know what the five main lines are and where do they start, end and intersect. The beauty of palm reading lines also includes an understanding of how the depth and length of each line can have a significant effect on your analysis. There are three main lines: head, life, and heart line. And there’s the sun and fate line, but they are not present on all hands.
The Head Line
The headline is also known as the wisdom line, and it’s located in the middle of the palm, between the heart and the life line. A long headline represents good memory and intelligence. While a short line indicates that this person is a realist. If the line is branched upwards, it means success in career and creativity. When the line is branched downwards, it will show struggle and possible disappointments in the future. The headline could be long and deep, but broken. A broken headline shows overthinking and nervousness.
The Life Line
The life line is located underneath the headline, and it doesn’t represent how long you will live as most people believe, but rather the life experience you had and will have in your life. A long and deep life line shows good health, while a short and deep line represents the strong ability to overcome problems. Faint life line indicates that the person is not adventurous and with low-energy. When the life line is branched upwards, it represents success in a person’s life. And when the lifeline is branched downwards, it represents poor physical and emotional health or feeling of loss.
The Heart Line
The heart line is also called the love line as it shows everything that matters to your love life and heart. It’s located above the headline and can start either from the index finger or between the index and middle finger. A long heart line indicates that this individual is open and full of emotions, while a short line indicates a self-centered person. If the heart line is deep, it shows a stressful love life. But a faint line that represents the person focuses on their emotional life. When the heart line is double forked, it shows that this individual combines romance with common sense and practicality. But when the heart line is triple forked, it shows that this person has a great balance between their emotional, physical, and logical sides.
The Fate Line
Not all people have a fate line. But for those who have it, it’s located in the middle of the palm to the base. The fate line represents how your life will be affected by external factors that are out of your control. The fate line transforms more frequently than other lines, and it can be easily noticed. Some people believe that itchy hands indicate big life changes.
The Sun Line
The sun line is the sister line to the fate line. Which means that those who have strong sun line might have a weak fate line. When the sun line is present, it indicates success and fame in a person’s life. It also shows that the person who has a sun line is creative and has high self-confidence. When the sun line starts from the wrists and ends with the headline, it shows luck and fame for this person at a very young age. But if it’s between the head and heart line, it indicates good luck before the age of 30.
To give accurate analysis, there are several factors that you need to be familiar with before learning to read palm lines. These factors include the mounts and plains of the hand and what they represent and also hand shapes and their corresponding element. Knowing these factors will allow you to have a better understanding of a person’s personality. However, if you know how to read the palm lines thoroughly, then you will not need to study the other factors.
