How your palm colour reflects your future

Although learning how to read palms can be practiced as a solo pursuit, it’s far more rewarding when you have a willing volunteer. Use your burgeoning gift to get closer to someone you fancy and spend the next half-hour side by side as you explore the wonders of their past and present. With any luck their future might just include you. The objective is to evaluate a person's character or future by studying the palm of their hand.

Choose a hand

In palmistry, it is thought that:

For females, the right hand is what you're born with, and left is what you've accumulated throughout your life.
For males, it is the other way around. The left hand is what you're born with, and the right is what you've accumulated throughout your life.
That being said, you can also choose whichever hand is dominant to be your present/past life hand (the non-dominant hand would then be your future life hand).
There are different schools of thought on the matter. Some say the left hand shows potential and what could be-not necessarily what will be. And a difference in the hands could mean one is or is about to take action when it comes to their lives, changing it.

Identify the four major lines

There may be breaks in them or they may be short, but at least three of them are there.

1 The heart line
2 The head line
3 The life line
4 The fate line (not everybody has this)

Interpret the heart line

This line can be read in either direction (from the pinkie finger to the index finger or vice versa) depending on the tradition being followed. It's believed to indicate emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and cardiac health. The basic interpretations are as follows:

Begins below the index finger - content with love life
Begins below the middle finger - selfish when it comes to love
Begins in the middle - falls in love easily
Straight and short - less interest in romance
Touches life line - heart broken easily
Long and curvy - freely expresses emotions and feelings
Straight and parallel to the head line - good handle on emotions
Wavy - many relationships and lovers, absence of serious relationships
Circle on the line - sadness or depression
Broken line - emotional trauma
Smaller lines crossing through heart line - emotional trauma

Examine the head line

This represents a person's learning style, communication approach, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge. A curved line is associated with creativity and spontaneity, while a straight line is linked with practicality and a structured approach. The basic interpretations are as follows:

Short line - prefers physical achievements over mental ones
Curved, sloping line - creativity
Separated from life line - adventure, enthusiasm for life
Wavy line - short attention span
Deep, long line - thinking is clear and focused
Straight line - thinks realistically
Donuts or cross in head line - emotional crisis
Broken head line - inconsistencies in thought
Multiple crosses through head line - momentous decisions.

Evaluate the life line

This begins near the thumb and travels in an arc towards the wrist. It reflects physical health, general well being, and major life changes (for example, cataclysmic events, physical injuries, and relocations). Its length is not associated with length of life. The basic interpretations are as follows:

Runs close to thumb - often tired
Curvy - plenty of energy
Long, deep - vitality
Short and shallow - manipulated by others
Swoops around in a semicircle - strength and enthusiasm
Straight and close to the edge of the palm - cautious when it comes to relationships
Multiple life lines - extra vitality
Circle in line indicates - hospitalized or injured
Break - sudden change in lifestyle

Study the fate line

This is also known as the line of destiny, and it indicates the degree to which a person's life is affected by external circumstances beyond their control. It begins at the base of the palm. The basic interpretations are as follows:

Deep line - strongly controlled by fate
Breaks and changes of direction - prone to many changes in life from external forces
Starts joined to life line - self-made individual; develops aspirations early on
Joins with the life line somewhere in the middle - signifies a point at which one's interests must be surrendered to those of others
Starts at base of thumb and crosses life line - support offered by family and friends.
