How to read your own palm
Traditional palmistry already has an order: one question, then the next, a note you can check against a kitchen or an office. This page is that first pass. Each step opens a longer guide when the hand asks for more.
These are character notes you can take with your own hand in daylight. When you want the lines named from a picture, one photo is enough. The palm card draws the map on your phone, and the photo stays on your device. It is never uploaded. The free look is the heart line. The full reading unlocks for a one-time $2.99.
Photo never leaves your phone
1. Choose the hand
Hold out the hand you write with. Traditional palmistry reads that palm as the life already in motion, and the other hand as the earlier draft. A left-handed reader uses the left hand as the one in progress. If you write with either hand, use the one you would use to sign a lease, and photograph that hand even when the palms disagree. The longer note is which hand to read.
2. Look at the shape
Before a crease, look at the outline. A palm about as wide as it is long is square. A palm clearly longer than it is wide is rectangular. Fingers short against the palm are short. Fingers that reach the palm's length, or past it, are long. Square and short is Earth. Square and long is Air. Rectangular and short is Fire. Rectangular and long is Water. The shape is the room the lines sit in. If the hand sits between two, say so. The four pairs are on hand shapes.
3. The major lines
Four creases carry a first reading. The heart line crosses under the fingers and is how you love when nobody is scoring it. Climbing toward the index finger, it says the feeling as it arrives. Lower and straighter, it loves by keeping the appointment. The head line crosses the middle and is how you decide: long and level for a fact you can check, sloping for pictures as well as lists, short when you would rather move.
The life line curves around the thumb and is the pace of an ordinary Tuesday. A wide curve spends the day in company. A curve close to the thumb keeps energy on familiar ground. It is not a count of years. The fate line, when you have one, runs toward the middle finger and is the thread of work. A missing fate line is common. Leave a crease off when it is simply not there. Starts, bends, breaks, and the sun line under the ring finger are on palm lines.
4. The mounts
The mounts are the pads, read after the lines so you know which pad a crease runs toward. A pad that pushes back is full. One you can barely feel is flat. Venus is the pad at the base of the thumb. Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo, and Mercury sit under the fingers, index to little finger. The Moon is on the outer edge, above the wrist. Mars is one mount with two seats: the web between the thumb and the index finger, and the outer edge under the little finger. The places are on palm mounts.
5. Fingers and the thumb
The tips are a separate question from length, judged on the last segment: pointed, conic, square, or spatulate. Most hands mix them, so name each finger. The thumb is not a fifth fingertip. Its tip may be clubbed, conic, or spatulate, it may sit high or low, and it may bend back or stay stiff. Fingertips are on finger shapes. The thumb is on thumb shapes.
6. The marks
Marks come last, because they qualify a place you have already found. A star, cross, island, square, triangle, grille, or chain is a small figure on a line or a mount, and the bracelets at the wrist belong in the same pass. A freckle or a scar stays off the reading. If you have not named the line or the mount, go back. The figures are on palm marks.
7. A clear palm photo
The palm card draws only the creases it can follow, so a blur or a crop leaves a line off. It is never uploaded. Your palm photo never leaves your phone.
Put the window beside you so daylight crosses the palm, and leave the flash off. Glare in the center wipes a line. Lay the palm open and level. A cupped hand hides the middle and bows the life line. Fingers stay easy, only far enough apart to show the pads. A fist folds the heart line.
Get the wrist, the base of the fingers, and both edges in the frame. Cutting the thumb cuts the start of the life line. Cutting the little-finger side cuts the end of the heart line. Hold the phone above the palm, and take another if the first is soft. More on the light is on which hand to read.
Then the palm card
The seven longer guides are on all palm guides. One photo is the free reading: the heart line, drawn on your phone. The full reading is a one-time $2.99 unlock.
