   Simian Line The simian line is a horizontal crease that runs all the way across the palm in the area where the head and heart lines usually are. According to palmistry, those who have a simian line possess a strong blend of mental and emotional powers. They don’t separate logic from feeling—they fully embrace both. As a result, this palm marking is thought to be a sign of a visionary personality.

   • The simian line is a pretty rare palm feature—only about 1 out of 30 people have it!
   • In medicine, a single palmar crease is sometimes linked to genetic conditions like Down syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome. It is possible, however, to have a simian line without having one of these conditions.

   The Lucky Triangle The Lucky Triangle (also called the Money Triangle) is formed when your head, health, and life lines intersect to create a triangle on your palm. This rare palm marking indicates a harmonious balance between your emotions, intellect, and vitality, which helps you achieve success in all your endeavors. Those who practice palmistry see the Lucky Triangle as a sign of good fortune and abundance.

   The Girdle of Venus The Girdle of Venus, located above the heart line, is another rare palm line. If you have this marking, you’ll see an arched line swooping from the base of your middle finger to the base of your ring finger. The Girdle of Venus indicates deep sensitivity, heightened emotions, and a strong desire for love and romance. People who possess the Girdle of Venus also have an eye for beauty, and they tend to be artistically talented.

   The Ring of Solomon The Ring of Solomon is an arched line located at the base of the ring finger. This rare palm marking indicates a deeply intelligent, insightful, and intuitive nature. If you possess the Ring of Solomon, you likely pick up on other people’s emotions and motivations easily, and you have a special talent for making people feel understood. You’re probably a natural born teacher or leader as well.

   • The area where the Ring of Solomon is located is called the Mount of Jupiter. The Mount of Jupiter represents your ambitions and your sense of inner confidence.

   The Mystic Cross The Mystic Cross is an “X” shaped mark located between the heart line and the head line. If you possess this unique palm mark, you likely have very strong intuitive powers, and you may feel a special connection to the occult. Because of this, the Mystic Cross is often seen as a sign of talent for magick or witchcraft.

   • If you have a Mystic Cross on your palm, consider exploring your magickal abilities.
   • Try out candle magic or explore some spellwork—whatever you feel drawn to!

   The Intuition Line The intuition line is a curved line on the side of your palm, extending from the base of your pinky down to where your palm meets your wrist. This rare mark indicates a highly intuitive person, and it’s commonly found on psychics and mediums. If you see this mark on your hand, you’re likely very good at picking up on other people’s energies, and you may even possess strong psychic powers.

   • If you possess the intuition line, try testing out your clairvoyant abilities or learning to read tarot.
   • You may find that you have a natural talent for these practices!

   Lines on the Mount of Luna In palmistry, “mounts” are fleshy areas on the palm that correspond to various traits. The Mount of Luna is located at the bottom of the palm on the side of the hand where the pinky is. If your Mount of Luna is very developed (feels very fleshy when you press down on it), this indicates that you have strong intuitive, creative, and imaginative abilities. If you see extra lines or a cross in this area, your powers may be even more pronounced.

   • A prominent Mount of Luna is considered a sign of psychic or magickal ability, just like the Mystic Cross and intuition line.

   Prominent Mount of Apollo The Mount of Apollo is located on the palm directly underneath the ring finger. It is named for Apollo, the Greek god of music, poetry, and medicine, so those who possess a prominent Mount of Apollo are thought to possess natural talents in these fields. If you have an especially large or fleshy Mount of Apollo, you are likely a very creative person, and you may also be a natural born healer.

   • If you have a prominent Mount of Apollo, take some time to explore your creative talents. Try writing poetry, learning an instrument, painting—whatever you enjoy most.
   • You may also find that you have a natural aptitude for a career as a doctor, nurse, dentist, or mental health professional.

   Crescent or Half-Moon on Palms Take your hands and line them up pinky-to-pinky in front of you. If your heart lines on each palm line up to form a symmetrical, half-moon type shape, this is a very auspicious and lucky sign! Those who practice palmistry believe that this half-moon shape indicates creativity, physical attractiveness, and strong intellectual powers.

    A clear, deep marriage line Marriage lines are horizontal markings located on the palm of your hand above the heart line. If you have one long and deep line in this area, this indicates that you will have a happy, committed relationship or marriage in your lifetime.

    • You may also notice some lighter fine lines in this area. These represent casual romantic relationships or flings.

    The Ring of Saturn The Ring of Saturn is a small semicircle located under the middle finger. People who have this uncommon palm marking may struggle with difficult themes such as isolation, solitude, and pessimism in their lives. They tend to be very somber and serious people, as well.

    • If you possess the Ring of Saturn, challenge yourself to open up and connect with others. We all need our alone time, but it’s important not to isolate yourself too much.
    • You may also feel “down in the dumps” pretty often, so it’s important for you to prioritize the things that bring you joy.
      • This could be hanging out with loved ones, participating in hobbies, spending time outdoors—whatever you prefer!

    Obstacle Lines Those who have several vertical lines on the palm of their hand, commonly called obstacle lines, may face more challenges and adversity in life. The location of the obstacle lines can also provide some insight. For example, if an obstacle line intersects with the heart line, it may indicate relationship or romantic struggles.

    • If you have a lot of obstacle lines, you’re likely an incredibly strong person. You’ve faced a lot in life and come out on the other side, which is something to be proud of!
    • Make sure to prioritize self-care in your routine and show yourself some kindness. You could plan a weekly bubble bath, spend time in nature, or try out relaxing practices like meditation or yoga.

The Basic Lines of Palmistry

1. 
   1
   The Life Line The life line starts between the thumb and pointer finger and forms a curve down toward the base of the palm. It contains clues about the experience a person will have during their lifetime. A long, deep life line, for example, indicates that your life will be balanced and harmonious. A shorter life line, on the other hand, may indicate that you overcome health challenges easily.

   • If your lifeline forks in two directions at a certain point, this indicates that you’ll experience great change during your life, and you may also travel to faraway places.
   • If you have double or triple life lines (other curves following the same shape as your main life line), your life is surrounded by a lot of positive energy.
   • Many people think that the life line reveals how long a person will live, but this is actually a misconception. The life line is more about the kind of life you’ll live, rather than the length of it.
2. 
   2
   The Head Line Like the life line, the head line starts in the space between your thumb and your pointer finger. It’s positioned just above the life line, and it extends more horizontally across your palm (though it usually does have a slight curve to it). The head line indicates your wisdom, intelligence, and mental capabilities.

   • If you have a curvier or more arched head line, you likely have a very creative and spontaneous way of thinking.
   • If you have a straighter head line, you likely prefer practicality and structure over spontaneity.
   • If your head line starts at the same point as your life line, you’re likely very good at putting mind over matter. In other words, you probably lead with your head over your heart.
3. 
   3
   The Heart Line The heart line (also called the love line) starts about a third of the way down the palm, underneath the pinky finger. It extends across the palm above the head line and curves upward. The heart line contains clues about your love life and the way you view romance.

   • For example, if you have a long, curvy heart line, you’re probably very good at expressing your emotions in romantic relationships.
   • If you have a straight love line that runs parallel to your life line, you’re likely very practical when it comes to love.
   • If you have a wavy heart line, you may connect with many different people romantically over the course of your life.
4. 
   4
   The Fate Line The fate line runs vertically down the center of the palm. A deep fate line suggests that you have a strong destiny that is shaping the course of your life. If your fate line meets your life line, you have a strong will, and you exert a bit more control over your destiny.

   • Don’t worry if you don’t see a fate line on your palm—not everyone has one.
   • The absence of a fate line may suggest that you’re free from the constraints of destiny. You’re in the driver’s seat for your life, and you get to choose what path you go down!
