Palm reading consists of analyzing the particular line and mound formations on someone’s palms. One line in particular that gets a lot of attention is the heart line, which deals with—you guessed it—matters of the heart (and more). According to Cassandra Eason, author of A Little Bit of Palmistry, the heart line is the first to be studied in a reading. It gives us insight into our relationships (including with the self, lovers, and friends), our emotions, and even our potential for personal growth. It also deals with what we “feel about ourselves, others, and life,” she says, along with how we approach our spiritual life and our inner world. Generally speaking, the deeper the heart line, the deeper your love and affection. Here are some other ways to interpret your heart line. Your dominant hand deals with your “acquired life” as it’s shaped by experiences and the people you meet. Your heart line, in this case, is read on the dominant hand (left to right across the palm if you’re right-handed, or vice versa if left-handed). It’s best to use some sort of magnifier to get a good look at the fine details of the line. This is what to look for: As Eason explains, “Nothing is fixed, but with the life map of your palms, you can plan the route and avoid obstacles on your path.” If you thought this was fun, you might enjoy exploring other divinatory practices such as tarot reading or astrology (if you don’t already). With a little practice and an open mind, anyone can explore what their future may hold.
