Who never wanted to know more about their future? There are several divination instruments around the world but there is one that stands out, the most accessible and practical of all: our hands. Palmistry is the art of reading hands, it is both a form of divination and self-knowledge. And don’t think that it was invented a few years ago, records date that people used palmistry three thousand years ago, mainly in China, India and Egypt. Curious? Let’s find out a little more about this ancient art.
The principle of the Palmistry
Let’s look first at the left hand - which represents your birth potential - and then the right - which says what you will do about that potential. But remember that it can be the other way around if you’re left-handed. The hand that you use to carry out your activities is the one of your essence, and the other on your future choices.

Well, there are 3 more important lines, and in addition to them 2 more that stand out enough for you to know what it is about: the deeper and clearer, the more evident is what they can indicate. Remembering that your hands reveal facts that are likely to be or happen, but are not decisive.
Life line
This is a line that analyzes both the personality and the future. Unlike what many say, she cannot predict death or life span, etc. This well-marked line can indicate good health; if it is weak it may indicate poor health; or if it is red and deep it can reveal a lot of strength and physical energy. In addition, this line can also indicate future obstacles that you will face throughout life.
Head Line
As the name suggests, this line is linked to mental issues such as intelligence and reasoning. It defines our mental and intellectual capacities, our values and beliefs, in addition to telling a little about our relationship with society.
Heart Line
Another very suggestive name, the heart line deals with emotional issues. It can reveal your tastes and posture in your relationships, including those parts you try to hide. In addition, she is also able to reveal facts about her love life, past, present and future relationships, including the possibility of future marriages.
Destination Line
This line is a complement to the others, it talks about your skills and how they influence your life, describes your ability to take responsibility or not, as well as your commitment to the goals you set. In short, she is a mixture of her personality and her life experiences.
Apolo Line
This is a difficult line to see and that people do not always have.
