This Is How To Read Your Palm

Psychic abilities are helpful when it comes to detailed palm readings, but you can totally handle the basics on your own. Tap forward for more.

The Life Line

According to Christine Lenihan, who practices palmistry in Salem, MA, this line indicates your health and the path your life will take. But, it does not dictate when you'll die.

The Life Line

What to look for: This line's depth determines the ease with which you'll go through life: Upward branches mean positive changes or recovery, while downward ones might suggest negative changes to come. A complete break in the line could mean an accident or a sudden change.

The Head Line (Aka The Wisdom Line)

This line represents all things mental. Waves imply creativity, while a single curve indicates idealism and curiosity. A straight line may suggest meticulousness and practicality — or a materialistic streak.

The Head Line

What to look for: Longer lines will be more methodical thinkers, while shorter lines probably belong to more impulsive thinkers. A deeper line indicates a great memory, while a faint line means you might struggle to focus.

The Heart Line (Aka Love Line)

Lenihan says that this line can reveal how you deal with your emotions and how you approach all matters of the heart, romantic or platonic.

The Heart Line

What to look for: A deeper line implies you invest a lot of time into your loving relationships, while a faint line means you're more aloof. Forks reveal your ability to balance emotions and logic; a strong curve means you're comfortable expressing your feelings.

The Relationship Line

This line reflects how you handle commitment — not how many committed relationships you'll have. According to palm reader and psychic Farhusha, it can give you hints about your future relationships, but it's not the final word.

The Relationship Line

What to look for: A deeper, longer line indicates that you enjoy long-term commitments; a fainter or shorter line means a predisposition to on-again, off-again relationships.

The Fate Line (Aka Destiny Line)

This line represents influences in your life path. What to look for: Breaks will indicate bad luck or major losses; a double line may indicate a particularly successful career.

The Health Line

The health line can indicate what you're like as a healer. The line will be more visible if you're supportive or a natural caretaker. What to look for: Breaks can mean an ill loved one or an illness in yourself.

The Simian Line

Lenihan says that this line occurs when the love line and the head line connect. People with Simian lines have a hard time separating their emotions from their actions or decisions. If this line appears on both hands, Simian qualities may be more pronounced.

The Bracelet Lines

These lines reveal the balance between your physical, mental, and spiritual self. Most people have three bracelet lines — four indicates a particularly long life. What to look for: Solid, deep lines suggest a prosperous and healthy life ahead.
