Some basic knowledge of palmistry

Palmistry is a profound and extensive academic discipline. Palmistry can not only reflect a person's innate destiny, but also the general trend of his acquired destiny; it can not only reflect the basic pattern of Zhouyi numerology, but also reflect his health status. I will explain to you some basic principles of palmistry so that you can accurately grasp the essence of palmistry and avoid going astray in the complex information.

The book says: "The patterns on the hands also symbolize the principles of wood." Palm lines are intricate and varied, and are the area with the most data and the most research in palmistry. It is also the most fascinating part of palmistry.

The five basic lines, understand where they are and what they represent

Love Line

Starting from the little finger and extending horizontally to the index finger, it represents a person's feelings and emotions:

Also called 'Heavenly Pattern'. It is also called the marriage line, love line, etc. It reveals a person's love process, when to get married, whether the marriage will be happy, whether to divorce or remarry, etc. The relationship between men and women it reveals does not necessarily refer to a legal marriage relationship, "cohabitation" is also considered. People with deep and thin love lines are delicate in emotions, while those with chain-shaped love lines are more rough. People with chain-shaped love lines are sentimental, sensitive, and emotional. Different emotional conditions and attitudes can be judged based on different characteristics.

Wisdom Line

Extending horizontally from the index finger and thumb to the little finger, it represents our career and personal charm:

It is also called the 'human line' or thought line, and is located in the centre of the palm. It slopes towards the Moon Hill and occupies the most important position among the three main lines: the love line, the destiny line and the life line. When studying, we should pay attention to whether the wisdom line is deep and obvious; the length of the line and whether it is straight or drooping; whether the color of the line is bright; a deep and thin wisdom line is better, indicating that the mind can be concentrated and the brain is smart. If there are island lines, it means that the mind is not focused, the memory is weak or the brain is frustrated. A broken or fragmented wisdom line indicates messy thoughts, disorganized work with unclear goals, dissatisfaction with reality and a love of fantasy. A weak wisdom line indicates long-term excessive introversion, shyness, restraint, and lack of fighting spirit.

lifeline

Extending downward from between the index finger and thumb, it represents a person's health and major events in life:

Also called 'ground pattern'. The length of the lifeline does not represent the length of life as people often say, but rather represents the strength of vitality. A long, deep, and rosy life line indicates a strong resistance to disease and a low risk of getting sick. On the contrary, it means a person who is weak and sickly. People with thicker lifelines have strong athletic abilities. It represents the strength of a person's physical strength, the good or bad luck of the family environment, a person's health and illness, and the rise and fall of sexual ability. If the lifeline is uninterrupted from the starting point to the end point, and the line is deep and bright, with a slight red color, it means that there is abundant physical strength. Capable of doing great things. If the lines are short or there are many chain or cross shapes, it is a sign of illness or easy injury.

Fate Line

The vertical line running through the palm does not necessarily have to go through the heart line and the wisdom line. It indicates a person's fortune:

Also known as the career line, it indicates a person's status in social activities, career development, and life fortune. If the lines are clearly engraved, it means that life is stable and can develop smoothly. If the lines are crooked or intermittent, it means that career or one's own status and position are easy to change. Some people do not have a destiny line, which is not necessarily sad, and having a destiny line is not necessarily a good thing. It is necessary to combine the hand shape and other lines to look at it. You cannot judge whether it is good or bad based on the destiny line alone.

Marriage Line

The short line that appears between the base of the little finger and the heart line affects love, romance, marriage time, etc.

Also called the 'marriage line'. Is it to observe whether the marriage partner is good or bad? Or the area that indicates whether you will be happy after marriage is on the side of the Mercury Hill (on the palm side of the base of the little finger), above the love line. There are short horizontal lines carved on it. Sometimes there are several lines, but the longest and most obvious one is the one that counts.

Palmistry Principles

1. Key points of palmistry

The palm lines should be deep, fine, clear, bright and smooth. Shallow, blurred, stained and discontinuous are considered bad. The book says: "Those with fine and deep lines are auspicious, while those with coarse and shallow lines are cheap."

Observe the whole palm lines: "If the lines are straight, the heart is also straight; if the lines are horizontal, the heart is also horizontal; if the lines are shallow, the mind is also shallow; if the lines are deep, the mind is also deep; if the lines are many, the mind is many; if the lines are few, the mind is few. If the lines are small, the mind is small; if the lines are large, the mind is large. If the lines are intermittent, the person is likely to be diligent or lazy. If the lines are crooked, the person is suspicious and worried."

2. The three main patterns of the pre- and post-natal periods

When observing the palm lines, focus on the three main lines of the prenatal and postnatal. After determining the general outline of destiny through the main lines, we can then analyze the fine lines of the secondary lines as a supplement.

If the main line is not good, no matter how good the other lines are, the achievement will be limited.

If the main lines are good, no matter how other lines change, it is difficult to change too much.

The three main innate lines are the earth line (life line), the human line (wisdom line) and the sky line (love line). Emphasis on innate influences: life is formed when it is conceived in the mother's womb, with ears covered and fists clenched.

The three main innate patterns also represent the three talents. The sky pattern represents the foundation and resembles the father; the human pattern represents blessings and virtues and resembles the spouse; the earth pattern represents wealth and represents the mother. The three main innate lines change little after birth, especially after adulthood.

The three main acquired lines are the destiny line (Jade Pillar line, career line), the success line (Six Beauty lines, Sun line) and the health line (Research lines, Illness line), which focus on acquired influences, that is, they keep changing with different acquired destinies.

Usually the three main innate lines are clearer and deeper than the three main acquired lines. When discussing physiognomy, the innate three king patterns and the acquired three main patterns are equally important.

3. How to read complex palm lines

A. Some people have all sorts of lines on their hands, and many of them don’t even have names in physiognomy books, so it’s incomprehensible. At this time, the main patterns and important lines should be grasped. If you grasp the direction well, you won't make wrong decisions. Don't be too dazzled by the fine and messy lines.

B. Generally speaking, vertical messy fine lines are auspicious, while horizontal or irregular ones are ominous.

C. For some people, their main lines are complex and difficult to identify, so they should be evaluated by summarizing their various characteristics and properties.

IV. Differences and similarities in names

There are often confusions about the names of the lines on the hands.

The same line not only has different names in China and abroad, but also has different medical names. In addition, there are also those with the same name but referring to different lines.

This phenomenon also occurs in the hills on the palm.

5. Comparison of overall palm lines

"Big patterns mean the master is big, small patterns mean the master is small, many patterns mean the master is many, few patterns mean the master is few." But for some people, who have few lines on their palms, small fine lines can also indicate big changes. On the contrary, if someone has many lines on the palm, it will take quite large lines to bring about big changes. When observing palm lines, pay attention to the comparison between the individual and the whole.

Only by deeply studying the palm lines can one enter the depths of palmistry.
