Palm Reading Basics: How to Read Palms for Beginners

Palm reading, is the art of using the palms of the hands to learn more about a person or tell their future.
While palm reading has roots deep within India’s past, it is believed by a number of people today. Let’s take
a look at some palm reading basics, including what the major lines mean.

Step 1: Choose the Hand for the Reading

When reading palms, there is an active hand and a passive hand. Your dominant hand, or the one you use
most often, is your active hand; your non-dominant hand or the one you do not use often, is the passive hand.
The passive hand indicates inherited traits and should be read as a baseline. The dominant hand shows
changes from the inherited state, such as life events. Major differences between the lines of the non-dominate
and dominate hand indicates the person has worked hard to develop themselves.

Step 2: Identify the 3 Major Lines of the Palm

The heart line runs horizontally across the top of the palm. It represents both the physical and emotional
state of your heart. The head line runs horizontally across the middle of the palm, just below the heart line,
which represents the physical and emotional state of your brain and mind. The life line is the curved line that
begins somewhere between the end that finger and thumb in curves downward toward the base of the palm.
This line does not indicate how long you will live, but instead represents various strengths such as vitality and
prosperity.

Step 3: Interpret the Lines of the Palm

Heart Line
If the line starts below the index finger, it represents pickiness in terms of love. If the line begins below the
middle finger, it shows selfishness in love. If it begins in the middle of the palm, it indicates the person easily
falls in love. If the heart line is not present, this indicates the individual is ruled by logic instead of emotion.
