Main Four Lines of Your Hand
The thumb also highlights our inner drive and willpower, and our ability to get the job do
ly
No
two hands are identical; not even your own left or right hand are the
same. Some individuals have many lines and others have a few (more
complex artists, philosophers and such will often have more lines in
their hands then someone with an elementary hand) Most hands have three
main creases in the palm, these are your line of life (circles the base
of the thumb), line of heart (runs below the mounts under the fingers)
and line of head (crosses the middle of the hand, under the heart
line).
Before
you begin a palm reading you may want to get a magnifying glass to
accurately read the lines. You will also want to view the palm in a well
lit room or in sunlight to insure proper identification of the shape,
color, depth, length and breaks in lines in the hand.
Should you read the right hand, the left hand or both?
This
decision can vary and is tricky; often customs, origin or how or when
you were taught will decide what hand you read. Some believe if you are
left handed, to read the right hand and to read the left hand of those
who are right handed. I was taught to read both hands and typically,
this is the most popular way of today.
The Line of Life:
This
is the most important line in interpreting the past and future
potential of a person’s life. It can reveal disease, health, vitality,
stress, luck and the life span of an individual. A short line of life
does not necessarily predict a short life. A short line of life on both
hands can mean death at the age level it ends on or it can a mean a low
vital energy or a weak will for the time it extends to. It is also good
to note that the line of life can also grow longer with age. So, if you
see a short line of life, do not interpret it as a sign of death.Fine
lines that cross the line of life denote mental stress, worry and
anxiety. Deep and thicker cross lines indicate a physical illness or
injury. Short breaks or a fork in the line of life can signify an
illness. Chains in the line of life signify mental or physical disorders
during a period of one’s life.
Smooth, well-formed lines that shoot off of the line of life indicate success or fortune and are
always favorable.
Below
is a drawing of a Palmary Clock to use to determine age of events on
the line of life. When you see a break, cross line or other marking, use
this as a guide to find the approximate age of when this will happen
and for how long.
The Line of Heart
The
Heart line is second in importance to the line of life as health is
concerned, it tells us about our emotional upsets and the vitality of
the heart itself. However, do not come to a conclusion of a health
problem with the heart by only examining the line of heart itself.
Chains
in the line indicate weakness of the heart or flirtatious behavior.
Lines that break through or come off the heart line and point downward
to the line of the head, indicate illness. An island in the line of the
heart denotes a weakness in the heart. A red heart line can indicate
violent behavior and wild passionate obsessions (*note to self avoid
people with red heart lines). A yellow heart line indicates liver
problems. A faint line denotes a sensitive or weak heart. Dots signify a
disappointment in love. A fork indicates divorce or an ending of a
relationship. If you heart line is high and close to your fingers it
indicates passionate and jealous behavior.
The Line of Head
The
length of the head line measures the intellect of a person. A straight
line crossing the entire palm indicates good organization skills and a
practical nature. Breaks in the line indicate a change in intelligence
and character. If it runs close to the heart line, it is an indication
of asthma or allergies. Is your headline straight and stiff? You are
selfish. Chains indicate headaches. Long and straight lines indicate a
detailed person. If the head line is separate from the line of life; you
are a confident individual. If it is connected to the line of life and
follows it for a while, you are shy and lack confidence. Most people
with a head line that is separate from other lines will be successful in
life.
The Line of Fate
Reveals
circumstances in life that are beyond our control, it is also known as
the Line of Saturn. The line of fate has the same information as the
line of life, however it cannot be measured by the same timeline and
should be read from the bottom up. The part that runs from the line of
the head to the heart line measures from the ages of 30 to 40/45. Past
the headline it measures to the end of life. See the image below for
reference.
Broken
segments that mark the high and lows of ones life. Adultery shows up on
the line as an island. The deeper the line, the more you are affected
by fate. If it joins the line of life, you are a self-made individual.
Not
everyone has a line of fate, if you do not have a fate line it means
you will not have bad luck and at the same time will not experience good
luck either. It can also mean that you may not experience success at
all in life.

Reading the lines of palmistry utilizing the palmistry diagram of hand below.
A – The Life line runs
from between the thumb and index finger downwards towards the wrist. It
documents the relationship we have with our family and graphs our
energy levels.
A common mistake by some palm readers is to suggest that a short life
line indicates a short life, instead it is rather the depth and strength
of the life line in comparison with the other lines that is a better
indicator.
B – The Head line runs
from between our thumb and index finger sloping downwards towards the
left of our palm. It indicates the fortitude of the mind and one’s
artistic capacity.
C – The Heart line runs from below the little finger towards the index finger, it is the uppermost main line – seen on the palmistry diagram of hand below.
It indicates how we interact with and respond to other people and
beings around us. It also documents our input into our relationships.
D – The Fate/destiny line runs from the bottom center of the palm towards the ring and middle finger. At times it is not present at all.
It documents one’s career path and the consistencies within the work environment.

Significance of the mounts in basic palm reading
We analyze the mounts in combination with the lines of palmistry and the fingers.
Generally
speaking, the mounts represent where our energy and talents lie. The
Mounts that are more developed than others represent strengths in
certain characteristics – something which we highlight in palm reading
and that you can take advantage of.
Referring to the next palmistry diagram of hand below,
Ju – the Jupiter mount, represents our ambition, enthusiasm and willingness to share and socialize.
Sa – the Saturn mount,
represents our stability, responsibility and love of tradition. It may
also show a greater understanding of time, rhythm and the deeper aspects
of life.
Ap – the Apollo or Sun mount, the “sun” says it all, love of life, spontaneity, fruitfulness, creativity, success – a sunny disposition.
Me – the Mercury mount,
our ability to converse and interact with others. A developed mount
signifies an ability to convey a message quickly, clearly and
diplomatically, serves well in commerce and negotiation.
Ma+, Mars positive or the 1st Mars mount, (shown between the thumb and index finger on the palmistry diagram of hand below) denotes our courage and willingness to defend our beliefs and the beliefs of others. Energy and tenacity.
Ma-, Mars negative or the 2nd Mars mount,
represents our sense of responsibility and commitment to the social
community, and our staying power under trying circumstances.
Pl of Ma – the Mars plain, distinguishes how bearing (or over bearing) our personality is on others and to what degree we make use of our 1st and 2nd Mars characteristics.
Lu – the mount of Luna or the Moon mount, (bottom right hand corner of thepalmistry diagram of hand)
represents our sense of imagination, inventiveness, intuition and
romantic aspirations. The written skills are well represented here. A
strong desire for change. (Add palm reading comment here.)
Ne – the Neptune mount,
not very common, sometimes confused with the lower part of the Venus
mount. Indicates a charming magnetic and intuitive character. At ease
performing in front of others.
Ve – the Venus mount.
Perhaps the greatest indicator of our passion for life and others, and
our virility. The padding is usually very pronounced in the hands of
artists and can also signify good circulation and constitution.
The palmistry diagram of hand below corresponds to the above labels.

The fingers in basic palm reading
We
analyze the fingers in combination with the mounts and lines of
palmistry. Some aspects of the fingers which we observe while analyzing
the hand are the length, diameter, flexibility, end shape, flesh colour, alignment, finger spacings, phalanges/phalanxes(fingers are usually divided into 3 phalanxes) , finger print patterns, joints, nails, finger setting and markings.
Generally speaking long slender fingers suggest intellectual quickness
and mental power, while shorter broader fingers indicate a practical
approach to issues. The fingers and their respective mounts have the
same names and
represent the same qualities, and so the fingers can also enhance or diminish the mounts’ characteristics.
Refer to the palmistry diagram of hand below.

Ju – Jupiter or index finger,
if long it suggests ambition adaptability and magnetism to power and
command over others. A short finger could suggest lack of ambition.
Sa – Saturn or middle finger, our maturity and how we deal with responsibility. The centre finger also illustrates how balanced we are in life.
Ap – Apollo or ring finger, our love of aesthetics, our emotional needs, and desire for the limelight.
Me – Mercury or little finger, our intimate relationship with others and our ability to express it through verbal and written skills.
The thumb –
the wider the opening between the thumb and index finger the more open
and trustworthy the person is, also a flexible thumb suggests a flexible
character (see the ‘thumb and index spacing’ label on the palmistry
diagram of hand above).
The thumb also highlights our inner drive and willpower, and our ability to get the job do
