Touch. Rub. Feel. Grip. Click. Clap. Hands, wonderful hands. Have you ever watched a young baby stare in awe and amazement at the bewildering sight of the things on the end of his arms? Slowly he rotates them back and forward, back and forward, oh what marvels these things called hands. How lost we would be without these hands - they are the road maps of our souls. And just like we are able to read a street directory to help guide us in our journey so too can we read our hands. Below for your pleasure we have briefly described your main lines and what they mean, and how to interpret them, much to the dismay of the local "Party Person" (who delights in telling the fortunes of others over several glasses of wine) a short life line does not necessarily mean a short life!

The left or the right - is the right right and the left wrong? Basically, the rule of thumb (pardon the pun) is which ever hand they write with is considered their dominant hand. When doing a reading you need to find out whether they are left or right handed. So then their dominant hand shows their future and where they're headed and their left hand shows their past and where they've been. Another belief, however not so common is the left hand (that is if they are a right handed person) is what they were born with and the right hand shows what they have made of themselves. This is a positive reinforcement of just how well someone has done when comparing both hands.

Like most mystic tools, all facets should be taken into consideration, what we have prepared for you is an introduction, you can then search, research and re-research to your hearts delight.

Timeline indications:
Below I have also listed which way you read a line. For example, the head line is read from the end nearest the thumb and if you laid a time line over that you would gradually increase the time and therefore the age of the persons line you are reading.

Head Line deals with your intellect, creativity and the way you handle life. This line is read from the end nearest the thumb.

The length of your head line indicates the level of intelligence. If your line goes straight across your palm, you are a practical and down to earth person. A head line curving toward heart line indicates good business ability. A clear and distinct head line shows good concentration and if your head line ends with a fork you are clever and diplomatic.

If you look at your hand there are generally three major lines running off from the thumb area, the Head Line is the middle one.

Heart Line deals with your emotional responses to life. This line is read from the end nearest the little finger.
If your heart line is long and curved with some distance from the fingers, this shows a warmhearted, kind person. If your heart line is longer and stronger than that of your head line, this means that your heart rules your head or all your decisions are emotionally based. A very deep heart line and one that runs close to the fingers shows tendencies to be possessive and if you have chain like links, you could be a little bit of a flirt.

If you look at your hand there are generally three major lines running off from the thumb area, the Heart Line is the top one (closest to the fingers).

Life Line deals with matters of health and your well-being. This line is read downwards towards the wrist.
If your life line is long and clear you have good health and vitality you approach each day with all the enthusiasm it deserves. A short and faint line means that you lack energy and may be somewhat frail: time to recharge your batteries! Breaks in the line show many changes in the direction of life. If you have a break in only one hand, this shows an illness followed by a speedy recovery - in both hands in the same area shows a slightly more serious illness. If your life line ends in a fork, this indicates long distance travel. Two small branches means money.

Fate Line deals with money, career and ethics decisions. This line is read upwards.

If your fate line is straight and unbroken this means a successful, untroubled life. If you fate line breaks this indicates sudden changes. We are the accumulation of our life experiences, we always need the downs to help us appreciate just how wonderful the ups are. If your fate line starts from the head line or heart line, this indicates success late in life, usually by your own hand (pardon the pun!)

Affection Line deals with marriage and children. This line is read from the little finger towards the thumb.
The more the marrier!... OK, so poetry is not my strong point. The more (strong defined) lines you have in this area the more relationships you will have. If your lines are strong and defined a happy relationship will be, however broken lines will lead to a separation for thee (and you didn't think I could rhyme). If your affection line curves down you will out live your partner.

From the affection line running up to the base of the little finger are the child lines, obviously indicative of the number of children you have each line indicates the number of children, the line for a boy is darker than the line for girl.

Sun Line sometimes referred to as the Line of Apollo, deals with your happiness and enjoyment of life. This line is read upwards. A clear and straight sun line shows a lucky person. If your sun line starts from your life line or your fate line you will have many successes as a result of using your talents. If your sun line starts from head line your success will come to you in your middle ages.

If the line of sun is absent, this does not mean that the owner will be unsuccessful with money. A financially secure person without a line of sun will normally have a well defined line of fate. A line of sun is more closely associated with contentment and for some contentment comes when material happiness does.
