Palm Reading Chart


Palm Reading Basics

In palm reading, the hand that you use most often is first read and then the other hand is read. The generally accepted rule is that the dominant hand or the hand you use more often, is the hand which determines your future and the other non dominant hand is used to determine the past or hidden traits. Palm readers normally check the following properties of the palm for their reading, before consulting the palm reading chart.

Shape of the Hands
The shape of hands is the first thing that is noted and depending on the shape of your hand you could have a earth, fire, air or water element hand. See table below for elaboration.

Hand Type Hand Shape
Earth Hand Broad square fingers and palms, with rough skin
Fire Hand Square or rectangular palms with pink skin or flushed skin
Air Hand Long fingers with square or rectangular palms and dry skin
Water Hand Short oval shaped palms with long flexible conical fingers

Lines on the Palm
The lines on the palm are used to determine the future or personality traits of an individual. The three main lines that are considered are the head line, the heart line and the life line (see the detailed palm reading diagram) while reading a palm. The table below gives complete details on the major lines on the palm and how they can be interpreted on the palm reading chart. Along with these major lines a few minor lines are also viewed including the marriage and lifeline, travel lines and the girdle of Venus.

Heart Line
The heart line curves upward to end between middle and index finger A caring and understanding personality
The heart line curves to end below the index finger An adventurous and artistic personality
The heart line is straight A selfish personality

Mounts
The mounts on the palm are also considered while foretelling the future using palm reading. These mounts are derived from Greek palmistry and are named after Greek gods and goddesses. They are the 'mounts' of flesh below each finger. Their location and interpretation are shown in the table below.
