Lines of Hand in Palmistry help in predicting the hidden potential of a person. According to the science of Palmistry, every individual is heavily influenced by the various lines present in the hand of a person. The destiny and behaviour of individuals are closely associated with the lines of hands. As per Palmistry, each of the lines has separate names and distinctive functions. It is also believed that these lines are of various lengths in different persons and it affects the life of the individuals to a great extent.

In Palmistry, there are mainly three major lines to read which are Life Line, Head Line and Heart Line. The different lines on human hand are mentioned below;

Life Line: The Life line in a palm depicts the general characteristics of the life of a person. The lifeline moves down the hand from the Mount of Jupiter to Mount of Venus, which controls the thumb. A smooth and deeply carved life line in a palm depicts healthy constitution and a decent quality of life. Any type of island or break in the lifeline depicts some undesirable events or illness likely to take place in a person"s life. It also indicates the passage of time, illness and death, and other important life events. The ideal lifeline is said to be the semi-circular one without any irregularities.

Head Line: The Head line on the hand is associated with the intellectual capabilities of an individual. Palmists are of the opinion that this is the most important line while assessing an individual"s personality and attitudes. It also signifies the physical condition of the human brain. The head line usually starts at a point between the destructive Mount of Jupiter and the Mount of Mars. Head line often ends at the defensive Mount of Mars but generally at the Mount of Mercury or the Mount of Luna.

Heart Line: Heart line denotes one`s ability to love, emotional stability and sexual happiness. It also depicts the healthiness of the heart. The Heart Line starts from the edge of the hand that is from the side of the little finger and travels across the top of the palm. The heart line can either be straight or curved. A straight short heart line shows an emotionally cool person, who either bases the relationships on sex, or other practical aspects. A straight long heart line reaching the middle space beneath Mount of Jupiter and Mount of Saturn shows a person with warm emotions, but a tendency to put them under constant scrutiny. If the heart line ends between the forefinger and the middle finger, the person is said to become highly emotional and passionate.

Besides the three major lines, there are also some minor lines which are also important in palm line reading such as Marriage line, Fate line, Line of Apollo, Children Line, Money Line, Health Line, Travel Line, Bracelet Line and Line of Mars.

Health Line: The Health Line can commence from the Mount of Mars or from Life Line or from any other place but it generally terminates at the Mount of Mercury. It represents the growth or development of the illness. Health line lies straight down the hand. According to the science of Palmistry, the straighter health line is said to be the better one. Further, it is excellent to be without a health line as its lack reflects an extremely well structure. Thus, the presence of health line in any form on hand depicts the presence of some weak point of life.

Line of Apollo: According to Palmistry, the Line of Apollo or Sun is a symbol of happiness and achievement in a person"s life. Although the line can generate from various places, but it invariably finishes at the Mount of Sun. The line of Apollo on a person"s hand depicts conscious aspects of the personality. The line of Apollo or Sun is basically a minor line and it indicates the success of a person in work.

Fate Line: Fate line is said to be the support of the other lines on the palm, as per the science of Palmistry. The fate line varies based upon the different formation of the palm. However, Fate line is less noticeable on the elementary and on the square hands. But it is deep marked on the philosophic, the conic or the psychic hands.

Thus, lines of hand in Palmistry can be very helpful in determining one"s true nature, abilities, hidden talents, compatibility in marriage and other useful information related to life, career and health.
