How Can I Read My Palm?
The art of palmistry dates back more than 5,000 years. It originated in India but found much popularity with Romans, particularly gypsies. It is believed by palmists that your destiny can be read by examining the lines in your hands. Try reading your own palm to gain insight about your life and your future.

Hold your palms out in front of you and gaze at them. Generally a right-handed person's right hand is the active hand, and the left hand is the passive hand. For left-handed people, it's the opposite. Your passive hands reveals more of your past, the inner you, and what brought you to this point. Your active hand reveals more of what is going on in your life now and your future.

Locate your heart line, which starts under your little finger and swoops across the palm. This line reveals your emotional state. An emotional person will have a longer heart line, while a shorter heart line may indicate emotional distance. Chains, breaks or small creases in the line indicate emotional turbulence. If the line points to your index finger, you will have a long, happy love life. If it points to your middle finger, it may indicate that you give too much of yourself away emotionally.

Locate your head line, which starts above the thumb and runs under the heart line. This line shows your intellect or mental state. A long, strong or deep head line shows that you have a good head on your shoulders. A short headline shows that you don't put enough thought into your endeavors. If it is shallow or wavy, it could indicate attention problems. The more it swoops down, the more inclined you are toward imagination and creativity. One that swoops upward indicates you have a bent toward logic and reason.

Locate your life line, which begins above your thumb and swoops downward toward your wrist. A long, deep life line shows a long, healthy life. A short or shallow life line shows a life that is controlled by others or unsatisfying. A wavy life line shows a life with little direction or clarity. If the life line splits, it indicates a major decision that will change the outcome of your life.

Look for money lines to determine your financial success. A line that goes from the base of the thumb to your forefinger or index finger may foretell a fortune coming to you by chance, such as an inheritance or winnings. If a line starts under your thumb and cuts upward, through the life, head and heart lines, and ends under your pinky finger, you have the Midas touch and will be successful in financial matters.
