Palm Reading Guide
96Why not learn how to read palms?
So you want to know if you're finally going to hook up with the person you've been staring at across the workplace. Are you going to get a raise? Are you healthy? Your horoscope can give you the generic answers, but you probably want to know more about your own life than what newspapers and Internet predictions can tell you.
Palm reading is a great way to achieve this. Also know as palmistry, it is one way to find both the future as well as a healthy human spirit. While many see this as a form of entertainment, many practice it themselves for serious spiritual and beneficial reasons, for comfort or genuine interest.
This technique has origins in India, thousands of years ago, and grew in popularity in ancient Greece. Over time it spread through Europe and Asia, and now it has developed into the interesting system that still exists today. Many people are familiar with the Gypsy palm reading technique, constructed for those who wish to know the hidden facts about their life.
While reading the lines on your palm won't tell you your fate, you can use palm reading to distinguish your characteristics and health qualities. A single line on your palm can explain all sorts of aspects concerning your life, including relationships. The texture of a part of your palm can mean you will be successful in a particular area of life. By palm reading, you can see your strengths to capitalize on them or your weaknesses to improve them. However, palmistry isn't necessarily an art that requires extensive training or costly materials and palm-reading charts. This is something anyone can enjoy and try. All it takes is looking at a line on your palm.
Read through this general guide to get a good understanding of palm reading and the basics. Practice on your friends and family and get a kick out of their reactions, or try it on yourself to see what the future holds for you.
Why learn how to read palms?
· It's really fun to learn!
What makes palm-reading fun is that the results are different for everyone. It's interesting to see what your palm says are your most distinct characteristics or if you're healthy or not. It's easy too; there are only a few basic lines to learn about in order to read palms. You don't have to memorize a lot of patterns to read palms.
· A palm reading is something you can use
You can use a palm reading to see if you're the person you want to be, if you're heading down the right track or not. Knowing certain things about yourself and your life can open the door to a wealth of possibilities, if only in your mind. And sure, it's helpful to know if you're going to hit a rough patch down the road or if you're too aggressive to get along with anyone. But don't let your reading weight too heavily; it might end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy!
· You don't have to pay someone else to do it for you
Sometimes, going to a "professional" palm reader can mean $50 for a hand reading! Oftentimes what they tell you might not be the truth but rather what you want to hear. But you don't have to charge someone else to do something you can do yourself! Start practicing on yourself and you'll be a pro in no time!
· Make friends by showing off your newfound skills
Ok, this is a stretch, but honestly, palm reading is something that people are very interested in. Everyone's hands are individual and people want to know things about themselves in particular. Try this out at a party or other social gatherings - even at work - and you won't be just another person.

How to read palms: What it all means
Look at the above picture to help understand this guide more easily.
Here are the basics you need to know to get started:
First of all, your hands represent different things in general:
Right hand - the practical, active side
Left hand - the emotional "heart" side
Look at the lines on both hands to see how the readings compare. Also, many suggest that women should have their left hand seen and men their right. The scientific approach says that, while both hands should be seen, the left shows the natural persona while the right represents personality and talent.
Texture: This is important on the back and front of the hand. Softness means sensitivity and refinement while a rough hand shows a coarse persona. Of course, calluses mean the person works hard or at a job where he or she uses the hands.
Flexibility: This directly represents how adjustable the nature of the person is.
Nails: Longer nails that taper at the tip mean creativity while square mean orderliness.
Color: This shows how blood circulates through the client's body. A pinkish hand means he or she is healthy while yellow means too much bile is being produced. Blue means there is a circulation problem.
Mounts: These are at the base of the fingers. Pay attention to the characteristics noted above as well as this additional information concerning location, name and meaning:
Base of index finger = Mount of Jupiter. It shows ambition, leadership, religion and love for nature.
Base of second finger = Mount of Saturn. It denotes seriousness, wisdom, balance and sadness.
Base of ring finger = Mount of Apollo. It represents brilliance, artistry, happiness and success.
Base of fourth finger = Mount of Mercury. It shows industriousness and shrewdness.
Base of thumb = Mount of Venus. It means love, sympathy, music and passion.
Edge of the hand = Mount of Moon. It shows imagination, coldness and selfishness (an interesting combination!)
The rest of the hand = Plain of Mars. It denotes courage, bravery and aggression.
Heart line: This represents your love life, what happens and why. It's the first prominent line below your fingers.
Right hand - The heart line shows how you relate to other people; your personal needs in love; your love experiences; and your passions for life
Left hand - This can tell how you feel about yourself and the relationships you have... the feelings that lie under the surface.
If your heart line...
Curves steeply under the index and middle finger - There's strong sexual desire
Ends under the index finger - You're picky with your lovers
Ends under the middle finger (this is rare!) - You have a need for love
Is straight and short - You have no need for romance, but you have a strong sex drive
Has 2 or more lines branching off - However many "branches" means the number of sides to your emotional nature
Points downwards with a branch and touches the life line - You're easily hurt in love
Is the same as your partner - You will have a successful marriage
Head line: This represents the ways you think, not how smart you are! This is the next prominent line below the heart line.
Right hand - Your physical life, including your career, business and even hidden talents
Left hand - How you think, see the world and communicate
If your head line...
Ends around your ring finger - Your head line is average
Is short - You think simply and directly
Is long - You're a thorough and careful thinker
Is straight - You think clearly and you concentrate
Is curved - You are ready to play with new and different ideas
Is sloped - You're a creative thinker!
Is horizontal - You think practically
Is chained (makes a chain-like pattern) - You are strung out
Has a fork in it - You are open-minded and capable of seeing many points of view
Floats (disconnected) - You have a carefree attitude
Starts under the index finger - You are brilliant!
Life line: Actually, this doesn't predict how long you'll live, but rather how you will live in the future and what the quality of your life will be. This prominent line curves down the palm.
Right hand - Your vitality physical strength; the timing of the events and important, practical occurrences in your life; how adventurous in life you are
Left hand - Your vitality and emotional strength; the timing of events and important emotional occurrences in your life; how adventurous in relationships you are
If your life line...
Runs close to your thumb - You have low vitality... you're usually tired
Has a wide curve - You have high vitality and lots of energy
Is "stronger" than your head line (bigger, wider) - You are more active physically than mentally
Is chained - You have weak health
Has small rising lines - You have an active personality
Has outward-swinging lines - You love to travel
Has a small line on it - This refers to the particular events at points in your life
Make sure you tell the person whose palm you're reading that the lines tell about his or her life - not the other way around! Don't let your readings become a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Fantastic hub!
Everything you need to know on one page..."at your fingertips" so to speak! :)
Great hub. I learnt to read palms by examining all I could get and checking if the theories work. I have also found that the lines keep changing as we go through life.
Thank you.
I used to dabble in palm reading years ago, and didn't give it too much credence, even if I used to do tarot readings for years with good results.... however, when my late 18 year old nephew was in the hospital in life support two years ago (he was already brain dead), a friend and I took a look at his palm out of curiosity, his hand was virtually free of lines, and his life line was very, very short. This freaked us out a little, seeing his hand free of lines, because it shows there is truth to palm reading.
Wonderfully comprehensive. You put a lot of hard work into this. Thx for the great and informative article.
This is a great hub! My friend does Palmistry and it is eerily accurate. Nice work!
Super hub! Now this will keep me very busy. :)
It was really a good information based hub! Videos are ok but sound is some time not heard properly!
I found some kind of diference regarding lines, mounts- the positions of planets in the hand! But i think this is because of Indian and Western pattern of Palmistry!
Great hub! I have always been fascinated by this subject matter. Looking at my hands wondering what it all might mean.
I have never seen a hub with such details and complete information!
I looked at my hands and now I understand why my health has had its many problems. It has many brokens lines but my strength is a different story. That is so true becasue I never stop, no matter what.
My heart is solid and that is a fact. Now I want to look at others hands. I will certainly refer to this hub.
Great hub :)
It's amazing to find so many information at hub pages...
Well done hub. Could serve as a clinic for newbie hubbers (like myself). Thanks.
Amazing hub. Very nice.
wow. very well done ms.
A nice presentation. But, I am sorry this theory has several flaws, since Vastu is supposed to be the Horoscope of the whole family living in a house.
For details visit:
a very interesting hub. It's amazing what your palm can give so much information
Amazing!!!...liked it very much...a good timepass
cool hub glassvisage!
after reading this i decieded to exam my own palm and i found that i have no heart line and my head line doesn't end either... what does this mean? i also don't have a fate line but my life line is very wide and prominent
Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, max, that is not the question for me... hopefully someone else can drop by and put in their two cents?
Ive done some palm reading. When your heart and headline are one line in the middle where your headline should be, your head rules your heart. Also in medical when the head line is missing, but heart line is up top where it should be on a newborn, they know its autistic Ive read.
Thanks for that lizalee!
I've always been interested in palmistry. I used to read my friends' palms in middle school. Very entertaining. But I can't read my own palms for beans.
What does it mean if you virtually have no life line? Because, as far as I can tell, I don't have one on either hand. I'm thinking that might be a bit of an issue, but that could just be me. :-P And what about all the other little lines? Got a ton of those, but still, no life line. Maybe I'm deformed. lol
Again, anyone?
Each individual is unique in the God's creation.I really use to enjoy the difference what God has made in each one of us.I am not interested in this palm reading."What the persons who has no hand will do?Don't they have any future?"Please think over it.
dear kika rose,
i've seen a guy with no life line once (apperently he went to a palm reader and they said he didn't have one too, as for what they said about it i don't know) ..i guess since it represents your quality of life it means a low quality.
and to ramyait: a present who has no hands stuff has a future, you just can't tell what it will be like. in most causes they had hands at one time anyways. as for new borns i guess they just weren't meant to hear about their life.
great hub. I was looking for something like this, thank you for sharing this info. now on to practice raeding!!
Incredible hub, packed to the brim with information. Thanks for all the time you spent laying this out.
Nice information
WOW I've always wondered how to palm read and this hub was so imformative! I am suggesting to friends.
This is a great hub! I have studied Palmistry on and off over the past 30 years. It really is another great tool for self growth. Your article is very well done and informative! Keep up the great work.
what if your palm lines are different on each hand???
Go teach a class in Palmistry--YOU MADE THIS EXCEPTIONALLY EXCITING ! Sorry for shouting, but your hub here is the most interesting, visually clear and simple understanding to something I thought was way more involved. Great job and very pleased to make your acquaintance . . .
sharing the light
Miss Erica Hidvegi
Thanks everyone, and I'm glad you liked this Hub so much, enlightenedpsych! I'm certainly not an expert, but it was fun doing this Hub :)
HEY THIS SITE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONT HAVE A LOVE LINE!!!! WAT DOES THAT MEAN? HUH?
I have been studying Palmistry and Astrology for years. You did a very good job of giving detailed information on the topic, and I do agree that it’s great to be able to read your own palm. It’s also great to be able to read the palm of a potential mate, family and close friends. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Imani, though I'm afraid I can't answer everyone's questions!
Excellent Hub! Thanks for sharing.
nice hub
Wow, this is excellent. Thumbs up for sharing. :)

Hello Miss 'Glassvisage'!
Thank you for your excellent palmistry research! And thank you for making a reference to my website handresearch.com - listed under: 'Additional information and resources'.
I bet you're going to be a great journalist! And hopefull you will keep following latest news about hands & palmistry!
Best wishes from The Netherlands!
Martijn.
I found this page very helpful. thanks a lot... My mom had her palm read when she was little and the old man said that she was going to marry a foreigner. she luaghed then, but it actualy came true. now she knows that good palm reading is no joke. and this info is good palm info!
Thank you all for stopping by! I hope it helped you all at least a little. Nika, I wonder if your mother't fortune was a self-fulfilled prophecy!
hari om.....
Incredible, well-researched article! VERY informative! You deserve a top rating! I've done some palm-reading in my day, too, and found a lot of very uncanny things on peoples' palms. Outstanding work!
Hi there,
thanks for all the great infos - it's a really interesting system, the way they set it up and so on.
I really got interested in the art of "reading hands" when a Chinese doctor told me about my health history after looking at my hands for a minute - without knowing anything else about me. Really amazing what the human body can reveal if you know how to read the signs.
Bob The Hypnotist
I have a pitch fork pointing upward off my fate line and an x that connects my life line with my fate, and fate line lacks an inch from the bird finger -all this is on my left , on my right fate and life cross one onother and fate goes further then makes a y, aint that crazy i dont know what it means but all my lines are deep and clear
Interesting Hub. It's really great to learn the deep lines in your hands.
Wow!! I wonder if this really true! Someone in my class did this so i wanted to know too...
To tell you the truth I don't believe this kind of stuff... but after reading your hub I have doubts... and I think I would mind trying to read someones palm!
Wonderful and interesting read! I find this type of information fascinating. The mere 'touch' in the handshake of a person reveals so much. You were quite thorough in your delivery. I know people really benefited from all of your hard work and research. I certainly did. Enjoyable and easy to comprehend. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent and very informative hub. i enjoyed it. It is different than what i learnt about palmistry.
Thanks. I enjoyed and learned a lot about palmistry.
Once again Glassvisage I do have to commend you for your Article.
Simple reason is that it embodies, good illustration, great education,ideal pictorials as well as information and development.
Superceding everthing however on Palm Reading about one's forecast, and relatively if they are expected to be undesireable forecast, there is one man
by name-Jesus Christ who can permanently and effectively turn things around.
Sure He can! because when man says no- Then God says Yes!
We see it happening all the while in our Free Online Training classes>
To see more, anyone can attend our class for Free Quality Education and Training in such the same way that this article has been an eye-pener to everyone that reads it!

This is Fucking Stupid and insane, it doesnt work for Me, opr ne1 ,just making fool of others, trying to count posts to your thread morons..
Very interesting
This would be great for those who don't have hairy palms from the friction of doing other things...er like me so I shall have a palm shave and then see about getting my palms read.
Ignore the nasty coments; this is a very interesting and well written hub. Unfortunately the lines on my hands dont seem to correspond the the one's on the charts but that doesn't deter me. I'll keep on trying to interpret them. Keep up the good work!
Actually, I read palms. But I dont follow the chart. It's like its natural to me, i see peoples personality, i feel it... its like its very natural to me.... what does this mean? and i can give really nice advices, i become open minded.... when i give advices its like all those problems halredy happened to me... What does this mean?
I'll show this hub to my girlfriend, she like thigs like this!
A great place to begin, am learning the great spirits of natuaral wonders. need to learn more about details, where should I look for? Pls advise.
Well done, thank you.
I have a scar at the bottom of my left life line. It cuts so cleanly and shows so strongly directly through the life line I thought it was interesting. Does it mean something?
Thank for writting.
I like this post. So unique.
I figured out my 'heart line' ends at my middle finger. :c ...Is that bad? Oi oi, that'll be scary if my boyfriend had it as well =w=
My life line is curved~ Which means I have lots of energy~
Thanks for this! This will help my friend who is studying this.
a cool site....nice page to learn about yourself and read your own palms...very informative and easily understanble...the complicated lines on our palms have been very well explained.....reading my own palm has now left me questions and fright....questions like " what if " and " may be " have started popping up in my head...:)
this explanation is very intresting. I would like to learn about horoscope,blood type.fortune telling how could they be connected.
Hi,
On my right-hand I seem to have to have two massive tridents around the base of the palm (one being slightly above the other) which are also connected through the same lines. The lines are going all the way up to Mercury, Sun and Jupiter mounts.
Also, I have a star at the beginning of my head and life lines and have two other stars on mount of Jupiter, of which one is based in the upper mount and the other on the lower mount.
I also have a circle on the mount of Apollo (Sun) but am concerned as it connects to the sun line stemming from the tridents.
What does all this mean for me, please?
Thanks,
Anu
Very well written hub .....
very much informative ......
Thank you very much for your great hub, for good advice, good wishes and support. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us.
em i am still confused my haelth line and my fate line cross what does it mean
so cool keep going
Wow, you've really covered it and nicely, too! Fascinating art - and for anyone getting into it, make a print of your palm and then do it again in five or ten years and you'll be able to see the changes.
Thanks everyone! I haven't considered the art side of it, egraveski, so I'm glad that you brought it up :) That's a great idea.
I find this hub very helpful and understandable. It made me interested in palm reading once again. Thanks. I enjoyed every minute looking at your "instructions" and my own palms. Bookmarked!
Wow! I really love this hub. This is a great collection of links and cool videos.
I have a lot of deep parallel creases on the palm pad between the life line and the thumb base. What could it mean? Thanks in advance.
Just so awesome hub ....
palm reading is interesting .....
keep it up .....
ya gud.
