The Major Lines 

The palm of the hand has four  major lines- the life line, heart line, head line and fate line.These line predicts the nature and the behaviour of the person.

Deep, clear and smooth lines are best, and indicate that one's life would be positive in the area of life represented by the line. With such lines, success should be accomplished, accompanied with happiness and contentment.

Breaks, gaps, islands, crosses, spots and cross-bars indicate possible problems or events at whichever points these marks appear. Broad, fuzzy or chain-type lines indicate a negative outlook, a dissipation of energy and low morale.

 Life Line

The line on the palm that people are most curious about is the life line. This line begins between the index finger and the thumb and continues downward toward the base of the thumb and the connection to the wrist. A common misconception about the life line is that it reveals how long you will live or when you will die. It does however, reveal information about the encounters in your life, relationships with others, health and physical and emotional well-being.

 Heart Line 

This line is located above the head line and life line. It starts either under the index finger or middle finger, and extends toward the pinky finger. Some clues about love and relationships are revealed just by the position of the line on the palm. If the heart line begins underneath the index finger, it is an indication that you are satisfied with your love life, or it could mean that you are picky about who you choose to have a relationship with. If it begins underneath the middle finger, this can signify a self-centered approach to love, or you are consumed by the need to be loved. A line that starts between the middle and index fingers indicates that you are quick to give away your love. If the line crosses the fate line, it can indicate the possibility of a relationship loss.

 Head Line

The head line, also known as the wisdom line (considered one of the most important lines in Chinese palmistry), reveals mental and psychological makeup and intellectual development and intuitive abilities. This line begins just above the life line, between the thumb and the index finger and runs across the palm toward the other edge of the palm horizontally. Sometimes the head line begins directly on the life line and extends out from there. This means that you have a strong will — mind over matter.

Fate Line 

The Fate Line is also known as the Line of Destiny. This line reveals the effects that people and events have had on an individual. These are events that the person has had no control over. This line is tied to one’s life path. It is also an indication of obstacles that may be faced, educational and occupational choices, accomplishments, achievements and how content an individual is with his life. The line also can indicate that elderly family members might be very controlling and one’s own needs and wishes are being neglected. This line also denotes a personality that can be strong, however, it may indicate struggles that may get in the way of success. If there are breaks in the line, hard luck, loss or failure in life can happen. There might be a double or sister line and this signifies a very successful and prominent career, even a renowned one.

The  Minor Lines

The palmistry minor lines, or secondary lines, can reveal an individual’s talents, interests, strengths and weaknesses. Their meanings can vary, depending on the hand shape, markings, mounts and the other lines nearby or crossing over them. Minor lines can be very faint or may not even be apparent, which is fairly common. If they do appear on the palm, they will give the palm reader a lot more insight into the subject. Listed below are nine of the more common
