Palm reading guide
How to Read Palm Lines
For beginner searches about reading palm lines without going deep into one line yet.
Read the map in order
Begin with hand shape. Then read the major lines. After that, check mounts and special marks. A single line does not outrank the whole palm.
Do not count lines mechanically
Long does not automatically mean good, short does not automatically mean bad, and broken does not automatically mean disaster. Texture, placement and context matter.
Use line pages for detail
Once you know which line you are looking at, go deeper into the dedicated life line, heart line, wisdom line, fate line and marriage line guides.
Questions people ask

Can palm lines change?
Fine texture can change over time. A reading should describe patterns rather than treat every line as permanent.
