Before reading a palm, it is necessary to know the major lines of the hand. Take your left hand and place it, palm upward, on the table. Now identify these lines:
1. The Lifeline
Locate the space between your thumb and index finger. Move your finger halfway between the two, and you will see a spot where two lines of the palm begin. One of these lines will move in a downward curve toward the wrist. This is your lifeline, and will contain details of your lifespan, etc.
2. The Head Line
The other line that begins at this location will move somewhat across the palm. This is your head line, and will indicate your mind.
3. The Love Line
Moving parallel and above the head line should be the love line. It should span the space between your pinky finger and your index finger. This line will speak of your love life.
4. The Line of Fate
This line will move upwards from your wrist to the top of your hand, and should occur in the center of your palm. In most cases, it sort of splits the palm in vertical halves, and is directly to the right of the lifeline. It will indicate your direction in life.
5. The Line of the Sun
This line also moves up through the palm, and should be directly to the right of the Line of Fate. This line is generally shorter than the Line of Fate, however, and speaks of your successes.
6. Children
A prevision of your children can come from the base of your pinky, at the side of your hand. If you look closely, you will see small lines moving parallel to the Head Line on your hand. These indicate your children and their offspring.
