The palmistry, or the practice of reading palms is an ancient art, and it is estimated that knowing the basics to draw some conclusions is not that difficult. In this note, a guide that will quickly allow you to know the basic concepts of the subject: how to read palm, how to read the lines on the handwhat is the most important and more.
Reading the lines of the hands: the art of palmistry
This technique of divination through the hands is called palmistry.. It comes from the Greek (khéir, “hand”; manteía, “divination”) and has always generated a lot of interest, curiosity and sometimes bewilderment. From the reading of the palms of a person, it is possible to arrive at a psychological profile of the person, and even guess events in her life.
As you know, it is a pseudoscience, that is, a practice that according to the canons does not have scientific rigor. However, palmistry, like biodecoding and other similar disciplines, has been practiced since time immemorial, and brings with it much study and tradition.
Therefore, it is difficult to simplify all that a hand has to say. Real palmists have years of work and case studies. However, this quick guide is a perfect approximation so you can start read the lines of the hand.
Where does palmistry come from?
Palmistry has origins in different regions, and it is not yet known which is the first. According to the records of Brahmanism and some murals in India, palmistry was a very popular art in ancient India.
Nevertheless, also has a long history in Chinafrom the Zhou dynasty more than 3,000 years ago.
What are the lines of the hand that you should read
You should know that there are some considerations to take into account about how to read palm. To begin with, you have to know that neither of the two hands is the same. Some currents of palmistry say that the dominant hand is the one that talks about the present and past life of the person, and that the non-dominant hand is the one in which events to come can be read.
Other currents, for their part, say that the lines of the left hand show the potential of the person and what they could become. In other words, it does not allow us to predict the future exactly, but it does provide tools on what could happen, according to the person’s traits.
However, the most accepted current and the one that we recommend you follow says that:
♦ In women, the right hand transmits what the person brought at birth, and the left hand what has been accumulated throughout life.
♦ In the case of men, it is exactly the opposite: the left hand shows what they brought at birth and the right hand shows what they have accumulated in life.
Bearing this in mind, you will be able to read the lines of the hand, guided by the following image:
Considering that the lines are:
- the heart line
- head line
- The line of life
- The line of luck (not everyone has it)
Now you can start.
Meaning of the lines of the hands
head line
The line of the head speaks about the intellectual part of the person. This line represents your learning style, the way you communicate, and the importance you place on knowledge in your life.
In general, if the line is rather curved, it is associated with someone creative, while a straight line speaks of practical people. But the more detailed interpretation says that:
If the line is short, it is a person who gives more importance to their physical than intellectual development.
On the other hand, if the line is curved and inclined, it is a very creative person. If it is also separated from the line of life, it is an adventurer, someone who is very enthusiastic about all things in life. While if the line is straight, the person is someone very realistic, who thinks about things from a rather logical criterion.
If it has a wavy shape, it is someone who finds it difficult to maintain attention for a long time. While it is a deep and long line, it tells us about a person who is very clear-thinking and has a focused opinion about things.
If the line is broken, it speaks of inconsistencies in thinking, but if it is crossed by crosses, it means that you are often faced with crucial situations.
Line of life
This line begins near the thumb, and arcs toward the wrist. According to palmistry, it reflects physical health and general well-being or discomfort. Do not be confused: its length is not associated with the length of life.
Instead, these conclusions can be drawn from it:
When it passes very close to the thumb, almost touching it, the person may suffer from chronic fatigue or stress. If it is curved, it is a very energetic person.
A long and deep life line speaks of someone very vital, while a short and superficial one shows someone insecure and very manipulable.
If it curves in the shape of a semicircle, you are a person with a lot of enthusiasm for the challenges that life presents, and a lot of strength to face them. While a straight line that approaches the other side of the hand speaks of someone who is very cautious, they are insecure, especially in their relationships.
The presence of several lines of life implies a person with extra vitality. A circle on the line implies hospitalization or physical problems. Breaks in the line portend sudden changes in lifestyle.
lucky line
To read the lines of the hand, you must also see the line of luck, although sometimes it may not be present. It is also known as the “fate line” and indicates the extent to which a person’s life is affected by circumstances outside of it.
If it is deep, there is a great disposition for luck or destiny to work in your life. On the other hand, not so much if the line is barely noticeable.
Interruptions and changes of direction represent that the person is prone to many changes in life.
If the line of destiny begins together with the line of life, on the other hand, he is a person with a lot of self-control, and not inclined to be influenced by luck.
Finally, when it starts at the base of the thumb and crosses the life line, it speaks of someone who is not influenced by fate, but is very supportive of family and friends.
heart line
This line talks about the person’s emotions. On the one hand, from a romantic perspective, but also in other emotional aspects. It can indicate if the person is emotionally stable, or if he tends to have problems in that regard.
Since human emotions are so complicated, this line has many points to consider when reading it.
If it starts below the index finger, it indicates that the person is satisfied with their love and romantic life.
If it starts below the middle finger, it indicates a person who is selfish in love, seeking personal satisfaction in relationships.
If it starts below the ring finger, you are an extremely romantic person. She doesn’t have a hard time falling in love, she does it right away.
A short, straight heart line speaks of someone with little interest in romance, while a curved, straight one shows a person who knows how to communicate their feelings and isn’t afraid to show their emotions. On the other hand, a heart line that is straight and parallel to the head line means that you have good control of your emotions.
In turn, if the line is wavy, it shows a person who finds it difficult to assume serious relationships, and usually has many lovers.
If there is a “knot” or circle in any part of the line, it is a person who may have a tendency to melancholy and depression.
If the line is interrupted or has small perpendicular lines above it, this means that the person has some emotional trauma to resolve.
The line of the heart has a peculiarity: by looking at how those of the two hands come together, you can find out what relationships are like (or that of the person whose palm you are reading) and how you function in love.
To do this reading, bring your hands together palms up and look closely at them.
at the same height
If when you put your hands together the first lines are in the same place and totally aligned, it means that your relationships are constant and lasting. You are a peaceful, calm person, you like your partner to nurture you and you are loving with her. You are not looking for problems with your partner, you are always looking for solutions.
You are usually more rational than emotional. You are also gentle and sensitive, you have good common sense, you probably choose a partner that other people accept or see well for you, because the approval of others is of the utmost importance to you. You resist abrupt changes in your day-to-day life.
Right hand line is higher
If when you put your hands together, the line of the right hand is above the line of the left hand, it indicates that you learn very well from your mistakes and do not care much about the opinions that others have of you. You are one of the people who are attracted to older partners and tend to pursue their desires regardless of social norms.
You have a free spirit and like to see people for who they really are. You are not interested in following the norms of society or fulfilling the expectations of others. It is very possible that you will end up with a partner much older than you. This means that you are usually attracted to older people and are looking for maturity to have a serious relationship. You know how to see your mistakes well, you accept them and you also make sure not to repeat them again.
Left hand line is higher
If the line of the left hand is above the line of the right hand, it indicates that you are brave, strong and that you face challenges without hesitation. Your partners are usually passionate, tough and strong-willed.
You care a lot about your physique, but keep in mind that this can lead you to make the wrong decisions, because as you well know, your physique should not be the most important thing in a relationship. The chances that you end up with a student younger than you or a foreigner are very high.
The mounts of the hands and palmistry
In addition to the lines of the hand, palmistry also studies the mountains of the hand. It is about the relief and arrangement of the muscular protuberances of the hand.
The mountains are not so much a tool to predict what will happen, but rather they describe the person: they tell us about their temperament, their virtues and their defects, their anxieties, their state of mind, etc.
In the following image you can see the most common mounts and how to identify them:
