Palm Reading for Beginners

When starting the first step of how to read palms easily, one must first focus on the basic aspects of palm reading. These include the lines, mounts, shape of the hands, and the kind of skin that the hand has. We shall discuss these one by one.

The Basic Lines

Reading palm lines of the hand consists of basic 4 lines. These are explained as follows.

    * The Heart Line: The heart line is the first horizontal line that starts from the bottom of either the index or the middle finger and goes down all the way crossing beneath the little finger. This line represents the emotional stability of a person. If your heart line starts beneath the index finger, it means that the person will achieve contentment in his/her love life. The person will be selfish from the heart when it starts from the bottom of the middle finger, easily falling in love if the line begins from the middle finger.
      The pattern of the lines also speak a lot about how you are from your heart. If it’s short and straight, it depicts that the person is hardly interested in romance. If it’s curvy and long, one tends to express their emotions openly. Broken or smaller lines crossing the heart line depicts emotional trauma. Small loops or circles depict depression and sadness whereas a wavy heart line depicts that the person has many relationships and flings but there is lack of seriousness. A person having a straight heart line which is parallel to the head line is said to be good at handling it’s emotions.
    * The Head Line: This is the line just beneath the heart line, running parallel to it. This line represents the intellect, learning style and communication skills of a person. It is the line that represents knowledge. A short head line depicts that the person has or will achieve more achievements based on the physical strength rather than the mental strength. If the line is broken, it means that the person is very unstable in his/her thinking. If you notice multiple loops, circles or many lines crossing the head line, it means that the person is prone to suffer from emotional crisis due to momentous decision making. If the head line is separated from the life line, it depicts that the person is very enthusiastic and adventurous. If the line is deep and long it means that the person thinks realistically, wavy head line means that the person has very short attention span.
    * Life Line: This line depicts a person’s health and overall physical well being. It is the line that starts between the thumb and the index finger and goes all the way to the base of the palm near the wrist. If your life line is spread well across the palm, it depicts that the person has a lot of enthusiasm, energy and stamina. The person will be someone who lives life like an adventure, will take chances and makes the most of every opportunity that comes on his way. Life lines that are deep and clear depict that the person is likely to enjoy it’s life to the fullest. The starting point of the life line also plays an important role. If it starts close to the thumb, it means that the person lacks in enthusiasm and lives life the way it is. If it starts close to the index finger, the person will be highly ambitious and focused in achieving the goals. The midpoint between the thumb and index finger is said to be the perfect point for a lifeline to start as it depicts a balance in life.
    * The Fate Line: Not everybody in this world is blessed with the fate line. Also known as the luck line, this line is the vertical line in your hand that starts from the index or middle finger and goes right down the base of the palm. A deep and stable fate line depicts that the life of the person is strongly ruled by his fate or destiny. If the fate line begins from the base of the thumb and passes the life line, it depicts that the person will get a lot of support from friends and family. If the fate line is joining the life line at the middle, then it depicts that the person will surrender his/her individual interests to fulfill the desire of others. If the fate line originates joining the life line, it means that the person is a self made individual and knows what to do since an early age. Breaks and crosses in the fate line means that the person will change directions due to influence of external forces!
