Since ancient times, people have been looking for a way to find out their destiny. Many turn to proven fortune-telling, but sometimes these methods are not effective enough. Palmistry is known to be one of the oldest and most effective way of predicting the life and destiny of a person. With its help, you can more accurately decipher the future and even find out at what period of your life dramatic changes await you. To learn the basics of palmistry, you first need to know the meaning of each line on your hand. Experts will help you with this.

What hand palmists are guessing for palmistry

Often, beginners cannot decide which hand to work with. Experienced palmists believe that the lines on each hand can reveal certain information about a person. The most important thing for them is the ability to accurately decipher the not-so-obvious meaning and hidden signs in the palm of your hand.

Palmists take into account the signs on both the right and left palms. If you are right-handed person, then your active hand is the right hand, and for left-handed people their left hand is their active one. However, in order for the result of fortune-telling to be more accurate, it is necessary to conduct a comparative analysis of both hands. It is believed that the lines on the active hand speak of innate qualities and characteristics and the passive one speaks about acquired traits and quality in the course of life.

If you pay attention to your palm, you will see a large number of signs on it, each of which has its own meaning. However, you only need six lines to work on and with, namely:

  • life line;
  • line of mind;
  • heart line;
  • line of fate;
  • line of the Sun;
  • health line.
