It is possible to see signs of mental disturbance from the palm lines. Although some peoples hands do not show many lines, hence it can be tricky.

Some time ago, I had a client ask me about her brother, who had a mental condition. She sent me photos because she thought his hands were perfectly normal and that she couldn’t see how you can recognise these types of things from the palm lines.

She thought his hands were regular because he had a heart line, head line and a life line. But these signs of mental disturbance are not easy to spot. Most of the time, one sign alone cannot suggest there is any concern. However, two of the main lines which can point to problems with the mentality is the head and the heart lines.

(This article is an excerpt from the book Life and Destiny Palmistry and All the Lines).

The Heart Line

The heart line is the uppermost horizontal line on the palm; it represents how a person expresses their feelings and their attitudes towards relationships. The basics of reading this line are the same as the head and life lines; that is by looking at length, depth, and quality. The deepness of the line displays the depth of feeling. So, a curved line indicates emotion, while a straight line shows control.

A healthy heart line which is broad and relatively free of flaws, reveals a well-adjusted person in their emotions, and they would have profound and intense passions. Most heart lines are not flawless and regularly exhibit branches and markings. I imagine if there were a perfect one, it would show that the emotional experiences of the person’s life would not affect them much, possibly having an insensitive and unsympathetic nature.

The main signs of someone who is mentally ill from the palm lines:

The main signs of mental disturbance are when the lines of life, head and heart are very chained and fuzzy. Normal lines are smooth and free of flaws, not wide and blurry. It is normal to have some marks on these lines, obviously, the perfect line is very rare. (See the example photo below) the fuzzy line is throughout the whole head line and quite severe on the life line.

The Head Line

The head line commences from the space in between the Index finger and thumb and usually runs horizontally at least halfway across the palm. The usual shape of the head line is slightly curved and free from islands, marks and variations. This line is one of the most significant on the palm because it reveals a great deal about the essence of you. It gives clues as to how you think and manage (mentally).

If the head line is too long and dips down, reaching the ulnar edge, it can be a sign of mental disturbance. You do need to compare this line to the rest of the hand because it can also depict intuitive ability. However, if it is long, dips downward and fuzzy, then the mind might not understand these intuitive thoughts. They are at risk of living in a dream world. The reason is that the fuzzy head line depicts a nervous, shy, and delicate mind. The owner might get confused easily and struggle to concentrate.

The start of the head and life line is important.

The start of the head line reveals the early years of life. If there is a split, like a fork and it floats above the life line, that’s an unusual feature which might suggest something not quite right in the mind. It is normal to have a chained appearance at the onset, however it should only be about the length of a couple of centimetres. If the life line also shows similar signs, like it is heavily chained, it can confirm there are problems. For these lines to suggest mental disturbance or disability, the fuzzy or blurred line continues for a longer length of the line.

When the heart line is showing signs of mental disturbance, it can be fully chained in appearance. It will appear to be covered in fine branches all over it like a twisted barbed wire fence. This chained line is also a sign of nervousness and emotional instability. Meditation is good for calming emotions.

The fingers and mental disability in palmistry

Sometimes the fingers too can reveal a mental disability. They might appear to be curved or held in an unusual way. The person might not be able to straighten the fingers, or that they have a natural curve which looks unnatural. Normal fingers are usually straight.

Other things to look for are puffy fingertips, a very low mount of Pluto, a girdle of Venus, the ring of Saturn and generally a strangely shaped hand.
