Why palm reading? I got very curious about the hands at a very young age. By the time I was eighteen, I spent a lot of time studying palmistry.
If you are interested in palm reading for personal reasons or if you are a professional coach, a therapist, counsellor, or healer, hand analysis allows you to add additional means to your range of work. You can give your clients more insight and clarity for finding their way and attaining their maximum capacity to achieve their goals.
What to me is exciting about this subject, is being able to understand the basics of the character through the hands. Learning about ourselves, as well as others helps us to get along better with the people in our lives. Recognizing these essential features can not only assist in finding a suitable life partner but in business and other partnerships.
People inherit many physical features and character traits from their parents, but we are all unique, and our hands show it. The basic shape of the hand is especially an essential part of reading the palms because it is what helps us to determine the first and most fundamental character of the person.
The fingers are a tremendous part because they can show how we express ourselves and how we have developed in the past. We all have distinctive looks, and the same goes for our psychological make-up, and that is why reading hands can become very involved and complicated. It is this personal disposition that reflects in our hands from birth.
I would like to note these three things:
Palmistry cannot predict the length of a person’s life.
Palmistry cannot foretell the exact number of marriages or children.
It also cannot tell what your future partner looks like, what age, size or how wealthy they are.

The Study of the hand, Chiromancy is one of the oldest of the ancient forms of divination, which has long been known as palmistry. This study helps us to learn about ourselves and our goals in life. In modern times, a new approach to hand reading has evolved (Chirology) which uses not only the study of the hand shape and fingers but also of the lines, markings, skin texture, palm ridges, and fingerprints.

If you are interested in palmistry, you would also want to know how to estimate the timing on the lines. Fate line timing events: The timing on any line is never an exact science; this is mainly the case for the fate line, which registers our advancement through life. Each mark, break or divergence can potentially match an event in our life. Fate line timing is to possibly spot an impending change of career or another life event.
The fate line is the middle vertical crease on the palm. Some people call it a career line or line of Saturn. It is an excellent indicator of change in the life of its bearer. A perfect and straight fate line that runs directly from the palm’s base to below the middle finger can denote an unchanging and steady career, drive or direction in life. The person knows who they are; they are self-motivated and in control of their path in life from an early age.
Estimating the timeline on the fate line
What I find to be the easiest way to get a close estimate is to use the different lines to compare. If the heart and head lines form in a typical manner, such as in the palm photo below, then the age of approximately thirty-five is where the line crosses the head line. The age of fifty is when it crosses the heart line.
Where it crosses the heart line is usually the age of fifty. Not all palms have the lines in the same position, but this timing works if you imagine where the head and heart lines usually are. If there are breaks in the fate line, you can use this timescale to see approximately what age change is and what age the progress continues.
How to know if fate line timing is accurate?
The best way to make the fate line timing more accurate is to compare past life events on the line. For instance, if there is an island on it (indicating a period of financial trouble). Ask the subject what age they were at the time of that event, and then it can be judged from that point.
If the hand does not have the typical lines, for instance, displaced higher or lower than average, or there is a Simian line, then I adjust the timing from the age of thirty, being the centre of the palm. The spacing tends to get narrower towards the later period.
Where the fate line starts
If the fate line starts from the life line, it shows a traditional start to a career. That means the career started from the individual’s background, education or personal merit. It represents a competent person determined to apply their energy and talent to succeed. If the fate line starts at the wrist at the centre of the hand, it shows first responsibilities and a balanced personality.
The fate line beginning at the base of the palm is a sign of common sense and independence using own efforts, which can manifest in the choices in life (and possibly the career). A fate line starting at the Mount of Moon shows people (or the public) based professions of their choosing. They succeed due to their appealing and essential qualities, which can be in the public eye. Often found in entertainers and actors.
What if you have two fate lines?
Depending on how tight they run to each other, a double fate line can refer to two similar occupations, hobbies or study alongside a career at the same time. If the lines are close, it can depict a successful business partnership and may even represent a husband or wife who is considered very supportive.
What if you don’t have a fate line?
Having no fate line does not mean the person has ‘no career’ or is unmotivated. Instead, it is more likely that they prefer to take life as it comes, not bound by any demands, responsibility or purpose. If you imagine the fate line as a path to follow, and there is no path, you are free to make one of your own. If you need to get to the other side of the forest and there’s no trail, you can still get through by finding or making that track.
As an example, a man who is a self-employed salesperson with goals and motivation to run his own business might not necessarily have a fate line. The probable reason for this may be because his skin may be coarse. He plans his days one day at a time and has no strict boundaries for his career.
Another example comes from a woman whom I know. This lady did not finish her schooling, leaving at sixteen to earn a living. She did not have any significant plans or ambitions to be successful but only wanted independence. She had no fate line, yet she was a regular and steady worker. However, she may have one now, as these lines can form when situations change.
The common aspect I noted about both people is that they have no interest in worldly achievements or obligations. They accept whatever comes along yet take responsibility for their role in life seriously. Someone not having a fate line explains quite a bit about the meaning. It shows how difficult it is to analyse on its own.
If you are reading for someone else
Remember, if you are doing a reading, use care and tact, and never alarm a potentially nervous or sensitive subject. It is not our job as hand analysts to humiliate or discourage anyone. If you fail to verify something, you might not have judged the whole hand correctly.
The lines do change over time
Remember, the lines can change over time. Therefore, what is evident in your hands now, does not imply a fixed quality or event. When using the lines for prediction, gather information from past trials that have led the person to be where they are now. Any lines or markings that represent the future are just assumptions. They show what is potential for the subject based on past actions. I hope you enjoy reading all my articles. Check out some of the latest ones below.

The fate line is the vertical line on the palm which rises towards the middle finger. It is also known as the career line or Saturn line. In palmistry, it is usually referred to when analysing the hand for life changes, including the career. If you have a missing fate line, what does it mean? Don’t worry, I will explain in this article.
A perfect and straight fate line that runs directly from the base of the palm to below the middle finger is rare. However, it can denote a decided career or direction in life. The person with this type knows who they are; they are self-motivated and in control of their chosen path in life from an early age.
Having no fate line does not mean the person has ‘no career’ or that they are completely unmotivated, but instead, it is more likely that they prefer to take life as it comes, not bound by any demands, responsibility (or purpose).
As an example, a man who is a self-employed salesperson with goals and motivation to run his own business might not necessarily have a fate line. The probable reason for this may be because his skin is coarse (tough, thick). He plans his days one day at a time and has no strict boundaries for his career.
Another example comes from a woman whom I know. She did not finish her schooling, leaving at the age of sixteen to earn herself a living. On top of that, she did not have any significant plans or ambitions to be successful, but only wanted independence. There was no fate line on her palm, yet she was a regular and steady worker. It is possible, however, that she has one now, as these lines can form when situations change.
You can still succeed without a fate line.
The common aspect that I noted about subjects with no fate line is that they have no interest in ‘worldly’ achievements or obligations. They accept whatever comes along, yet still, take responsibility for their role in life seriously. Someone not having a fate line explains quite a bit about the line and just how difficult it is to analyse on its own. The person can still succeed, but they do it without the boundaries of having ‘fate’ decide so to speak.
Usually, when someone does have a full and straight line, the person has set himself life goals with purpose but with conventional boundaries which can limit the diversity as far as occupation is concerned. It does not by any means show a perfect career.
FATE LINE PRESENT BUT NO CAREER
The fate line does not only represent a career; it shows a person knows what they want in life. An instance of this comes from a man, who at the age of sixty, had a strong fate line rising to the mount of Jupiter, which usually means a highly-determined nature. However, he had been unemployed for the past thirty years, with his only income coming from a government payment. I told him that it shows on his palm that he is successful in his chosen path, and he was surprised because he had not intended on returning to work anytime soon.
We both quickly realised that his line meant that he was on a steady path, no matter what it was. He did know what he wanted from life, which was to continue doing what he does. It made him feel comfortable and happy. That is probably why the fate line was so smooth, even though it had nothing to do with his career. He was ambitious, but not in a typical way. He had chosen his path and didn’t intend to divert from it.
The lines, traditionally called children lines, are fine vertical lines from the Union (marriage) line on the side of the palm under the pinkie. Most of the time, the lines representing children are indistinct, so a keen eye or a magnifying glass might be needed to see them.
How to read the children lines?
I observe these by looking at the quality of the lines and whether they are present at all. These lines ideally should be fine and distinct without blurry edges, scars, or dry skin. The latter could indicate problems regarding conception. If the lines appear fuzzy, it can be that the person is past childbearing age. It can also mean the person has lost interest in caring for or having children. Remember that these lines can change many times during their lifetime.
What if I don’t have any lines for children?
If the lines are missing (or barely visible) altogether on a woman’s hand, it can mean that she has no interest in having a child and may not feel close to other people’s children. There may be another underlying reason, such as infertility or lack of a suitable partner. Look to other indicators on the palms for clues, such as vertical lines on the base of the mount of Venus.
Also, note the person’s age. Are they at a childbearing age? Are they over their age? If the person is still young, it is possible that the lines have not yet formed.
Are children lines a reliable indicator of actually having children?
Answer: To show potential children, the line must be clean with no marks or blurry edges. But are the lines reliable? No, these lines are unreliable in predicting the number of children. Only women give birth, yet both sexes can have children lines. Hence, the fertility line is a more appropriate term. However, I give the traditional meanings here for your information and knowledge.
What if you have many children lines, but you have no children?
If there are a multitude of lines, it might represent a person who is a good mother. It can also depict a mother figure, possibly the grandchildren.
A woman with many lines might never have conceived a child, but she might be a great aunt or have pets. She might consider them to be a part of her family.
A teacher, for example, who loves to be around youngsters might have several lines even if she has no offspring. These lines represent potential, so having many lines of children could depict a highly fertile individual.
Does age matter when reading the lines?
Yes! Age does matter when estimating someone’s children’s lines. Before you read someone’s hand, ensure they are at least at childbearing age. Ask them if they have already had children or grandchildren. For example, a woman in her fifties might no longer show the correct number of children lines because she will not have any more children. Or, she might be too old to start having any at that age.
The ideal age to read the child lines is 25-40. If the subject is too young, the lines might still be changing. A person over forty has fewer chances of falling pregnant, so the lines are unreliable. Using my hand as an example, I have four children: During my pregnancies, at my age between 30 and 37, the lines showed four lines. Now, at age 52, I have about 15 blurry lines. Therefore, I no longer have reliable indicators of the number of children.
Where else to find the child lines?
Other areas can show these lines. Look for vertical lines at the base of the Venus mount of the dominant hand. The longer the line, the stronger the character of the person. A long line might also depict a girl; the shorter ones describe boys. There might also be some fine horizontal lines on the middle phalange of the pinkie. These lines are a bit more challenging to see. A longer line shows a strong personality or a girl.

How do you tell if a child will be a boy or a girl from the child lines on the palm?
There’s a 50% chance that the line represents a boy and vice versa. I have been right 50% of the time (understandably). Because these lines are so difficult to read, I can only give you something to go by based on what other palmists have written about in the past.
Which is a boy line, and which one represents a girl line?
A shorter, thinner line is supposed to represent the girl, and a longer, thicker line represents a boy. Sometimes, the line representing a girl is straight, and the boy is arched. How well these lines form depends on the texture of the mother’s skin.
Below is a rare case example reading of these kid lines. The woman had a miscarriage or termination of an unborn child at age 22. She wasn’t married. Later, after marriage, she had four children. After a ten-year marriage, she divorced and met a new partner with whom she was a stepmother to another three children. The new partner took on the role of a father for the first four children. She had precisely seven children lines above the second marriage line.
A few years later, I rechecked this lady’s lines, and many of the child lines had become faded with blurry edges. She told me that she was going through menopause and could not have any more children. It was a clear sign that these lines represent the fertility and ability to bear children.

You might be wondering what some love life signs in palmistry are? For example, how to see a person’s love style. Are they passionate or unfeeling? Do they have the energy for love, or are they sexually timid? These are questions that you might have when first entering a relationship.
The shape of the hand is the first place that we look for clues. The skin also comes into play when thinking about sensitivity and physical pleasures. The length of the fingers helps explain their love style. From the lines on the palm, we look mainly at the heart and head line.
Love life signs from a narrow shaped hand
A slim hand that appears long shows someone who might fall in love too quickly. If the hands feel soft and kind of damp with many fine lines all over the palm, it shows someone sensitive, intuitive and dreamy. Individuals with a slender and long palm are primarily introverted, preferring peace and moving at a slower pace in life. Don’t expect this sensitive soul to watch erotica with you! Because of their connection to emotions, it is easy to hurt their feelings. They can also pick up other people’s moods without even realising it.
Large palm with short fingers
Roundish or conic shaped hands (large palm short fingers) tend to be naturally romantic and impulsive. This shape is a fire type hand, and because of their energy and enthusiasm, they will usually try anything at least once. They are mostly the extroverted type with a personality that is charismatic, impulsive, adventurous, fun-loving and intense, physically and mentally. It is the fire types that are most likely to stray.
Square looking hands are the practical types. This shape shows someone down to earth, dependable and straightforward. If you are thinking about anything more than vanilla, you’re probably looking in the wrong place. Another thing is that they might get stuck in a routine that’s difficult to change. This earth shaped hand depicts a more private person. If you’re looking for loyalty, you’ve found it.
The character from the type of skin
If the hands are soft, they seek pleasure.
Very thin skin shows a lack of passion.
Thick skin (if not coarse in texture) shows warmth and sensuality.
Coarse skin is less sensitive to the feelings of others and tends towards physical pleasure.
Love Life Signs in Palmistry From the Heart Line
A curved heart line shows warmth and passion.
A straight and short heart line is someone who loves their freedom. There is more physical attraction than emotional.
A long heart line to Jupiter mount can be picky. They are the idealist.
The line which reaches all the way to the index finger depicts the big-hearted individual. They are happiest when everyone around them is happy. They will express themselves clearly and you will know what they want from you.
A Simian line can be very passionate or the opposite, very cold, depending on other factors. They might fluctuate from one to the other.
Signs from the head line
A straight head line belongs to the more serious-minded type.
A slightly curved head line depicts a flexible nature; they like to please others.
A deeply downward curving line is a sign of a deep thinker, but it can also be moody and overly emotional.
If the head line is barely visible, broken or wavy, the person might be passionate but also opinionated and unstable mentally.
The fingers
The shape of the fingers can give us clues to a person’s sensuality. The thicker the fingers, the more energy there is for life (unless very soft and floppy). The base phalanges and the ball of the thumb are where we look for the amount of sex drive. If the ring and little finger base phalanges are incredibly thick and bulbous, together with a high mount of Venus, it is a sign of a seducer with a high libido.
Long fingers tend to show someone who takes their time in getting to know someone before they jump into bed with them. The shorter fingers show impatience and belong to someone who wants to get things done quickly and now.
Little Finger length
When the little finger is sitting very low on the edge of the palm, it suggests under-development of the traits that the mount beneath it represent, for instance, confidence and communication. These people might be more private and emotional needs in relationships may be an issue.
The long pinkie can show a talent for creativity and communication, which can help in the area of intimacy. A small pinkie then shows the opposite, which is someone who is shy and quiet in their love style. The very small looking pinkie shows difficulty connecting, verbalising and naivety in emotional or sexual matters. If with a small thumb, they may also inadvertently seek a dominant marriage partner.

The life line types on the palm vary. Most lines, however, arc around the thumb ball and end at the wrist. The length and quality of this line tell certain character traits and constitution. It is a line that is the most interesting one on the palm in palmistry. People like to think that the line refers to one’s actual life. In a way, it does. The line should, ideally, be extended, deeply etched and unmarked. However, it is unlikely that many people in this modern age have a line like that. Sometimes there is a split life line.
The life line types, including the split life line:
A long, deeply etched line that reaches the wrist (if unmarked) shows vitality, routine, stability, and motivation.
A short line, if also weak or thin in its appearance, reveals a lack of stability or energy levels. Often it is a mark of unstable early family life or a change in the middle of life.
A life line that appears faint depicts a delicate or sensitive constitution, common in those who are not physically active.
A line that curves outward towards the Mount of Moon describes someone who loves to travel or is very outgoing.
A line that runs closer to the thumb is someone who lacks interest in physical activities and may be cold or selfish. They prefer to stay close to home.
A split life line
Any break in a line indicates change. The normal flow and direction of life take on a new course. Countless reasons can bring this change, so it’s nothing to worry about. You can use this timing method to estimate when the change will occur.
When a life line appears to have a split or break, look for sister lines on one or both sides of the line, these lines support an otherwise uncertain period.
A line on the inside of the life line would show family support, and on the outside from a non-related source. If the break overlaps another part of the life line, it often indicates a planned change.
If the split has no parallel lines or overlap, it shows an uncertain period, and care should be taken in every way. The health may be affected due to illness, accident or mental trauma. Look for other indicators on other lines. A square over the split will give protection.
When using the lines for prediction, gather information from past trials that have led the person to be where they are now. Any lines or markings that represent the future are just assumptions. They show what is potential for the subject based on past actions, whether negative or positive. The prediction is only an assumption because our hands connect to our brains, and mental activity is recorded on our palms. As our thoughts and desires change, new lines can form, and old ones can fade.
The lines can change on the palm.
Some lines change more quickly than others. The lines that are most likely to change quickly are the minor lines. But most lines depict what is happening now and what has led to the current circumstances. Remembering that any person can take control of their destiny, palmistry can be used to determine some consequences or guidance for our future. Accordingly, if a line shows an attribute, looking for other indications for confirmation is essential, as one feature can offset another.
For example, a line that shows success for a person may indicate this as a likely conclusion. However, if other signs are against it, such as a lack of willpower, attaining that success may be difficult; (but not impossible). Finding adverse marks should not be bad, but instead, an incentive for making positive changes for better future outcomes.
If you are reading for someone else
Remember, if you are doing a reading, use care and tact, and never alarm a potentially nervous or sensitive subject. It is not our job as hand analysts to humiliate or discourage anyone. If you happen to fail to verify something, it is because you might not have judged the whole hand correctly.
Which hand to read?
The hand that a person writes with is usually their dominant hand, and the lines and hand shape can show which is the non-dominant. The dominant hand is less flexible, demonstrated by a thumb with a smaller angle. The non-dominant hand tends to be more relaxed and has more lines because it shows our thoughts and what is happening.
The dominant hand
The dominant hand describes what is happening in their material or the outer world (the conscious). It shows what we are experiencing and whether we have developed and grown from our past. The right and left hands are usually different, so I always look at both.
The non-dominant hand
The non-dominant hand defines what is mostly happening on an inner level (subconscious) or what is potential. It shows what we feel we could be doing or should be doing. I read the history from the non-dominant hand, but both sides can depict past events due to timing on the lines.

The career/fate line is the rising vertical line in the middle of the palm (if you have one). (Also called the money line). It can start almost at any point, even from other lines. It can have more than one ending point, with offshoots like branches coming off the line and reaching other areas like the mount under the ring finger or index finger mounts. When this occurs, it can have very positive connotations regarding the success of a career or occupation. Other times, the line ends on another line or is not present.
Where the line ends / fate line career change
The career/fate line ending at the head line can show a lack of satisfaction and change in the career or goals at around the age of thirty to forty. The person may have chosen at that point to live each day as it comes without restrictions. It could also be due to a calculated decision to change their life path. These people try to stay where they are to make it work, but rarely it does because they feel dead-ended and want to break away from their old situation.
Ending on the head line, the person has made a conscious decision about their career. Other lines need to be checked for clues: Is there a success line present? Are there marks on the line prior to its ending?
A line that ends beneath the heart line is standard when the career stops upon retirement and no further interests, or career goals are taken up. Success is no longer what drives them, instead, taking life easy, which could signify early retirement.
Ending directly under the middle finger shows that the person is active and deeply involved in their career or interests for most of their life. Without a success line present, this type of fate line can come with a few struggles or obstacles along the way. However, overall, they will have a successful career. Retirement, it seems, is not an option.
Ending under the index finger. This shows that the person is very ambitious and do anything to make their goals a reality. The determination and motivation ensure eventual success or even fame in their chosen field.
More about the fate line
The fate/career line is also referred to as the Saturn line. It rises towards the middle finger and is associated with the same qualities as the Saturn mount. The fate line is the best line to see a change in the life of its bearer. Therefore, if it doesn’t show changes, such as breaks and branches, it shows a steady life path.
Starting at the life line is a traditional start to a career, which originated from the individual’s background, education or personal merit. It represents a competent person who is determined to apply their energy and talent to succeed in life.
Starting from inside the life line would show someone who has had less choice and was probably ruled by the family in the type of work expected of them or obligated to follow the same profession as their parents.
A perfect and straight fate line that runs directly from the base of the palm to below the middle finger is rare. However, it can denote a decided career or direction in life. The person with this type knows who they are; they are self-motivated, serious and in control of their chosen path in life from an early age. Look for lines to Apollo which can denote success, like the money line which rises from the heart line to the pinkie.
A fate line starting at the Mount of Moon shows people (or public) based profession of their choosing. They achieve success due to their appealing and essential qualities, someone who can be in the public eye. Often found on entertainers and actors.
CURVED FATE LINE
A gently curving fate line indicates a gradual change in career or life. The sharper the curve, the more drastic is the change. If it veers from side to side, it predicts that the
ambitions are not well directed and there is a waste of energy in efforts throughout their life.
MORE THAN ONE FATE LINE?
It is common to have more than one fate line. A double line, depending on how tight they run to each other, can refer to two similar occupations, hobbies or study alongside a career at the same time. If the lines are close, it can depict a successful business partnership and may even represent a husband or wife who is considered very supportive. Whatever the case, the second line suggests a duality of some aspect and acts as a support line, strengthening the main line. Sometimes, the second formation shows up as a small fork leading into two clear directions.
BROKEN FATE LINE
A fractured fate line, but one that overlaps alongside the second part of the line, presents a planned change in career or lifestyle. If the breaks do not overlap, and there is a space before it continues, it is an unexpected change, a time when progress regarding career or goals has come to a standstill. The motivation and purpose are no longer justifiable. Look for clues on the other lines for reasons such as health or family.
CROSS BARS ON FATE LINE
A fate line with horizontal lines (crossbars) show obstacles that may slow down the progress of goals and finances. These bars can be interruptions caused by life changes such as starting a family, money issues, poor choices or stress in general. If the line continues after the mark, it is a temporary hitch.
ISLAND ON THE FATE LINE
Will I become rich? Not during the period where there is an island mark. An island on the line weakens the flow and often denotes worry over financial difficulties from taking on too much credit or borrowing money; bankruptcy is a possibility depending on other indicators. Look for interference lines rising from the Mount of Venus and across the life line. Many small islands that form a chain are when numerous issues affect the smooth flow of career and life in general.
We have hundreds of expert palmistry articles on this website, you can search any term below.
On a small proportion of hands, the heart line, and head line appear to be joined into a single line, forming one long line across the palm, known as Simian lines, or crease. The association of this line was once thought only to be with chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome. However, it is mostly a regular feature. In some recent studies, it is believed to show forms of neuroticism, hyperactivity and introversion.
I see these lines on the palm as ‘energy’. The head line relates to our mentality, how we think, and how practical we are. The heart line depicts our emotional side and how sentimental we are. So you can imagine if the two types of energy, mental and emotional, are in the same line, there’s going to be some inner tension.
While these attributes may relate to some of the people involved in the survey, they have also found that this line on someone with no physical defects or other behavioural problems, signifies a somewhat different, quite a forceful by nature; not necessarily a negative attribute as it would seem. Many with this line tend towards being determined yet sensitive.
The owner of Simian lines can possess great potential for strong will and focus, many of whom are ambitious. But, the focus won’t last if they are not following their passion. It helps if they have found their niche and had opportunities in their life regarding education and family support. If only on the one hand, there might be a creative nature.
The Simian lines on both palms
The Simian line on both hands can suggest the subject has more of an intense and passionate nature. However, to hypothesise about this crease, look at other features of the hand, such as hand shape, finger length, thumbs, and lines; including fingerprint and palm patterns.
Typically, the owners of a Simian line are stubborn, unpredictable and easily misunderstood by others. They do however tend to possess an abundance of energy, some finding it difficult to relax. While these people are intense, at the same time they can be very empathic and quite sensitive in their way. Usually very open-minded, yet cynical; nonetheless mostly what you see is what you get.
The Double Simian type character tends to follow their heart and in doing so, they tend to choose a career that gratifies that emotion. Mostly, they are either fully into what they do, or fully not into it. It is nearly always ideal for them to be engaged in their passion. In doing so, it is taking full advantage of the single-minded and determined nature.
If your child has Simian lines
If you have a child with Simian lines, you might have already noticed some different character traits. He or she might seem more dynamic and energetic than others. They might also vacillate between being pleasantly charming and helpful to completely ignoring you.
Your child might display some fixated behaviour, which can be directed in positive ways by encouraging their interests. An example of this might be the boy who loves sport, but if he doesn’t get the opportunity to play, he might find something else less desirable to preoccupy his mind.
Some might have already been diagnosed with Asperger’s or ADHD. If that’s the case, your child might show some qualities like being disobedient regarding rules. Your child might display a limited attention span, low self-esteem, or have difficulty at school.
Treatment for hyperactivity can include talk therapy, healthy diet, quality sleep and strict routines. It has been noted that exercise is one of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce the symptoms of hyperactivity.
Quotes by Simian line people:
I am good at something related to art, such as drawing, making handicrafts, etc. I am a good listener and very emotionally sensitive. People usually find me comfortable to be with. I am bad at something related to “remember exact things” like histories, fix recipes, etc. because I like improving and being flexible. Once I feel uncomfortable with people, they tend to hurt me, it’s hard to maintain a good relationship as before.
I am energetic man – always thinking the future – manage time when work – I’m a hard worker – I believe the law attraction happens in my mind – what I’m thinking it always happen in real life.
People say Iam influential in accessing a problem and going in-depth for a solution. I find it very hard to talk with new people. My friends and people I know say that I have an attitude which may be due to the success in my academics and work. But I know that it is not, I talk to people who I feel worth, or else I stay away.
The head line is one of the major palmar creases that represents the mind. In scientific terms, it is called the ‘proximal transverse crease’. This crease usually commences from the space in between the Index finger and thumb and runs horizontally at least halfway across the palm. If the line runs well more than halfway over, it is classified as being long.
When the line runs almost all the way across the palm it is very long. If it crosses completely, it is a Sydney line, or Simian line if there’s no heart line. Initially, the Sydney line, as people understood, was just a rather long head line. Researchers discovered a link between the Sydney line and the Simian crease with various medical and psychological issues, including Down’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, leukemia, and developmental psychological issues.
What is the meaning of the head line?
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). It can show whether you are struggling or sailing along smoothly and how you make decisions. If you are looking for honesty, stability, intelligence, imagination and rationality, the head line is where you can find some of those answers. It is also possible to see signs of physical injury to the head.
LONG HEAD LINE MEANING
A long line displays someone with a broader range of analytical interests, a person who seems to have more intelligence, however, this is unfitting. The theory may have come about because of the attribute of attention to detail and the no-nonsense approach to life that they have.
The very long head line shows a deep, sophisticated thinker, they tend to consider more evidence before making decisions and are more philosophical than those with a short one. If this line runs entirely across the palm, it’s called a Sydney line and gives obsessive qualities. Johnny Fincham describes the Sydney line as someone cut off from their inner feelings. They have a hard edge over their personality.
If the long head line curves towards the base of the palm, it gives a more empathic nature. I have seen this type of line on a doctors hand.
Albert Einsteins long head line
Albert Einstein had an extended head line that was NOT connected to the life line. The disconnected lines show an independent thinker. Albert Einstein, according to researchers, had Asperger’s Syndrome, a higher-functioning type of autism that is characterised by “eccentric” behaviour rather than apparent impairment. People with Asperger syndrome are often labelled as eccentrics. They can lack social skills, be fascinated with complex subjects, and have communication difficulties (especially in children). However, this type of line on its own is not a sign of Asperger’s.
The general character of a person with a long head line is someone with:
A wide range of interests
Fond of research
Can absorb a lot of information
Have many hobbies
Sees the future outcome or long term results in a project
Can be cut off from their feelings (if straight)
Example difference between a long and a short line
Someone with an extended head line and long fingers depicts patience. A person who has a short head line and shorter fingers tend to have less patience mentally. For example, if I ask the, ‘what did you learn from your field trip today?’ The short line response would be, ‘We learned how to ski and all stuff’. The answer is simple and straight to the point.
The person with the long line would reply something like; “the bus trip was extremely long and bumpy, I was already tired before we reached our destination. I had never seen such beautiful surroundings, though I enjoyed every minute of the experience. The best part of the trip was that we were taught how to ski downhill without crashing. Even though I crashed a couple of times, it taught me what not to do. We also learned about how to look after your skis and ski boots, it was fascinating.”
The person with the short head line doesn’t want to bother with tiny details and prefers to get to the point quickly. This type might also have shorter fingers showing some impatience.
What if the line is broken?
Sometimes the head line has a break halfway, so it looks like a short head line, but it continues after the break. If the line is broken, it can be a sign of someone who loses their ‘train of thought’. The continuing of the line is interrupted and so can cause a person to change their mind or have moments of confusion.
MORE ABOUT THE SHORT HEAD LINE
A short line is when it only reaches beneath the Saturn finger. It shows one who has more concerns about practical and routine matters preferring to concentrate on what is going on now without fussing over details; getting straight to the point. They do not like to waste time and so quickly apply what they know through common sense and just do the job.
