In women, the right hand is what they are born with and the left hand tells their life story. The exact opposite is true for men, their left hand is what they are born with and the right hand is what they have achieved in their life. The dominant hand tells about the past and the present while the less dominant one tells about the future.</p> <h2>3.Identifying the lines</h2> <img src="https://cdnone.netlify.com/db/2017/12/word-image-1302.jpeg"/>via shutterstock <p>There are many lines between our palms and among them the three major lines which are the most important in palmistry are:</p> The heart line (1) The head line (2) The life line (3) <p>Deciphering these three lines goes as such:</p> The heart line: this line begins below the index or middle finger and extends all the way towards one’s pinky finger on the edge of the palm. It tells about a person’s emotional health and wellbeing. Long: warm and loving but has unrealistic expectations of others Short: self-loving and an introverted personality Wavy: lack of commitment Straight: very practical and logical when it comes to matters of the heart Cleat and deep: generous and honest Faint: apathetic Broken: emotional turbulence The head line: It starts just above the life line and sometimes will start at the same point. It branches out as it moves downwards into the palm away from the life line. Long: intellectual with a good memory Short: logical Faint: more of a dreamer and spiritual rather than intellectual Deep: unbroken concentration towards life Forked: a person with multiple talents Absent: a casual approach towards life Wavy: a constant tussle between the head and heart The life line: It originates between the thumb and the index fingers and goes down all the way to the edge of the palm towards the wrist. It is believed that the length of the life line means how long one is going to live but that is not true. This line reveals a person’s physical, mental and emotional growth through their life. <p>o Long and deep: a well-balanced life and vitality</p> <p>o Short and deep: overcoming life’s challenges</p> <p>o Faint: an unadventurous life</p> <p>o Deep: no much trouble in life</p> <p>o Broken: indicates a break due to acute physical health, loss of some loved one or an accident.</p> <p>o Forked: a huge change in life</p> <i></i>
