How to READ the HAND – What does each line mean?

The Greek word “khéir” means hand, while the word “mantéia” translates as divination. Taking the etymology of this word into account, we can conclude that palmistry refers to that divinatory practice in which a person can predict their future based on the interpretation of the lines that are drawn on the palm of their hand.

Palmistry is one of the most popular pseudosciences that exist, and those who practice it not only defend the possibility of knowing the past and future of a person, but also some hidden characteristics of the personality of said individual. Thus, according to palmistry, the destiny of each one is written on his body, and through the hand reading this can become unveiled. You want to learn how to read your hand to oneself or how to read the hand of another? We will tell you about it step by step below.

What hand is read?

Before going into detail about how to interpret each line of the hand, it is necessary to know which hand is being read and why. The quickest answer is that both hands are readWhile 80% of a reading is based on the interpretation of the right palm, the left palm can help determine the other 20%, which is why palmistry professionals use both hands.

The most common is to start with an exhaustive reading of the right palm and, finally, to interpret the left hand to finish limiting the information.

To learn how to read handsThe first thing you will have to do is identify the lines on your palm. Distinguish each of them well in your hand and discover their meaning:

1. Heart line: related to emotions, emotional stability and everything related to love and romances.
   
2. Head line: the head line speaks of your intellect, your state of mind and your ability to understand life’s problems and come up with solutions.
3. Line of lifeHow well its name indicates, the life line shows the type of life that the individual leads, as well as the quality of this and if it could be considered a full life.
4. Fate line: Although it is similar to the previous one, this line speaks more specifically of the plan you will follow in life, the paths you will take and how they will impact your future.
5. Health line: linked to the health that the individual has at the moment, and how this will develop over time.
6. Money line: If you want to measure the probability of your success at an economic level, this is the line that you will have to learn to interpret more carefully.

While the first three lines They are always present and everyone has them located in very similar points, the remaining three lines can be more complex to see and there may even be people who do not have any of them.

We recommend that you always read hand which is not dominant, that is to say, the less skilled of the two. However, there are several theories of palmistry that defend that depending on what you want to know you will have to do a reading of the left hand or, on the contrary, an interpretation of the lines of the right hand. We will further specify this process below.

Once you are clear about the meaning of the lines of the hand, it will be time to learn how to read hands. We will start with the heart line, which is the one that begins on the left side of the hand and curves upward looking for the index finger.

As we have advanced, the love line can reveal everything that is related to your emotional discomforts, your romances and your future in a certain relationship. Let’s look more decisively at some possible meanings:

1. If the line ends below the index finger: People whose love line ends just below the index finger are usually idealistic individuals who tend to romanticize situations a lot. They can easily get frustrated.
2. If the line ends below the middle fingerIn contrast, individuals whose line ends below the ring finger are more selfish and spiteful and tend to prioritize their needs over those of others in a relationship.
3. If the line ends between the two: in this case we are talking about a very healthy balance, that individual is not a selfish being but neither does he give without constantly expecting anything in return.
4. If the line is straight and short: the person in question usually has little interest in love or even sexual relationships. This type of line denotes a certain dissatisfaction in the romantic field.
5. If the line points up: He is an emotionally free and healthy individual who is not afraid to express his emotions and who almost always knows what is good for him.
6. If the line points down: This is a sensitive and somewhat fragile person whose love life may be cut short by some dissatisfaction.

Identify the head line, which is the one that begins on the right side of the hand and ends in parallel with your ring finger. When it comes to learning how to read your hand, we have already seen that this line represents your intellect and your ability to get out of certain problems.

1. A long curved line: This is a person full of ideas who has complex mental processes and is a calculator. You can get out of a situation quickly because you will have analyzed every little element well.
2. A rather short linePeople with a short line, be it curved or straight, are usually astute and insightful individuals who are not afraid of being carried away by impulses. Sometimes they can be lazy.
3. When the line crosses or is very close to the line of life: These types of people are usually cautious and careful, they like to explore all the options well before making a decision and they are not especially logical.
4. If it is far from the line of life: they are adventurous people who take risks more easily, sometimes they rush with their actions but are often rewarded for that lack of caution and obsession.
5. If the line is cut: If this line is broken dry, we interpret that the individual in question is an inconsistent person, can be as impulsive as it is cautious and will never fully know when one option is better than the other.
6. If the line is shaped like a chain: People with a chained head line or with little circles are individuals with certain emotional and personal difficulties. They are very intelligent beings who, due to certain problems from the past, have certain communication problems.

What is the line of life in hand? This line is the one that begins on the right side of the hand, near the edge or intersects with the line of the head, and ends near the wrist. The line of life in the hand is the one that we also name life line, in charge of showing what kind of life you will lead and what its quality will be.

To learn how to read hand correctly, you should know that the length of this line will not determine whether a life will be long or short, as it is one of the most common mistakes in the practice of palmistry.

1. If the line is close to the thumb: if the line passes parallel to the thumb, it means that this individual is usually very tired and may become chronically fatigued. It is not necessarily a lack of vitality, but it can be linked to health problems.
2. If the line is short and shallow: If you do not see this line clearly and it ends long before reaching the wrist, you are a very indecisive person who often depends a lot on others to make decisions.
3. If the line forms a half circle: Does the life line form a well-marked half circle? in this case, the individual is a very passionate and energetic person. This does not mean that the person always embarks on great adventures, but that they have a lot of vitality and know how to take advantage of it. These people are very likely to move away from their homeland.
4. If there are more lifelines around: is a very vital person but somewhat unstable that only flourishes when surrounded by people with a similar character.
5. If there’s a break along the line: it means two things, that a person is usually very skeptical and that throughout his life there have been sudden changes and complex decision-making.
