Article: When you start your reading, check the hand you use most often since it's considered your active hand. Your non-dominant hand is your passive hand, and it is usually not examined since the lines may not be as prominent during the reading. Hold your hand out in front of you with your palm is face-up so you can easily read the lines. Compare your active and passive hands to see if there are any differences. The lines on your passive hand are your inherited traits while the lines on your active hand indicate how hard you've worked to develop yourself. The life line is the long curved line that runs from your wrist up around the base of your thumb. The life line might reveal experiences you've had and how they affect your outlook on life. The length of the line shows how others influence your life while the depth of the line displays the ease you'll have for life moving forward. If you have a short or shallow life line, it may mean that you may get sick or feel weak often. Deep and long life lines could signify that you're in good health and rarely get sick. Check if your life line has any other lines branching upward or downward. Upward branches toward your fingers mean positive changes are coming, and downward branches reveal negative events. The life line doesn't dictate when you'll die, so don't get worried if it is short. Locate the headline directly above your life line extending horizontally across your palm. Longer head lines may represent that you think through situations methodically while shorter lines mean you're more impulsive. Check the depth of the line, since deeper lines can mean you have a great memory and shallow lines could show you struggle to focus. If your head line has breaks in it, then it could mean you will encounter mental strife or that you've had many breakthroughs or epiphanies about your life. Look to see if your head line is straight or wavy. Wavy lines may signify you approach problems creatively while straight lines mean you solve problems traditionally. If your head line connects to your life line, it may mean that you are introverted and thoughtful. The more the headline connects to the life line, the more worried and indecisive you may be. The heart line, also known as the love line, is located above the head line and runs horizontally across your palm. If the heart line starts underneath your index finger, it may mean you are content with your relationships. However, a heart line that starts under your middle finger may represent you may be restless in relationships. Deeper heart lines could show that your interpersonal relationships are significant to your life. The length of the heart line might indicate the length of your relationships, where breaks or forks can represent multiple relationships. If your heart line is curved, it may indicate that you're good at communicating to partners. Straight lines can mean you're stable and approachable, but you may be shy or passive in relationships. Your fate line is a vertical line that you may have running down the center of your palm. The fate line can represent how other people or events out of your control will affect your life. If you have a deep fate line, you may have a strong ability to start a career or run a business. A shallow line means you work hard, but your career may change multiple times. Itchy hands may signal that changes might occur in your life soon.
