Psychic medium Alicia Rose, who has performed more than 150,000 readings over the past 40 years, has shared the secrets of the practice.
Imagine looking at your hands and knowing what the future holds for you.
For centuries, people have claimed the ability to read palms, analyzing lines, hand shape, finger length, texture and other details to predict what is to come.
This pseudoscience of divination, known as palmistry or palmistry, aims to interpret lines and folds on your hand to predict aspects of your life, including love, health, creativity, intelligence, and emotions.
Followers of this ancient practice believe that each mark and groove has a meaning that can differ depending on length, curvature and depth.
Even intersections of lines supposedly add up to a detailed analysis of a person’s character and their possible future outcomes.
But like astrology or tea leaf reading, palmistry is considered more of a superstitious belief among the scientific community.
The lines analyzed on the palm include the life line which symbolizes health, the head line to represent intellectual abilities and the heart or love line which is associated with emotions and relationships.
DailyMail.com spoke to psychic medium Alicia Rose, who has performed more than 150,000 readings over the last 40 years, to discuss the art of palm reading.
The lines on the palm include the life line (health), the head line (intellectual abilities) and the heart line (emotional state and relationships).
Which hand do you read matters?
Your left and right palms are different in the world of palm reading.
Generally speaking, your dominant hand will give you the most accurate results and is the one you should focus on.
As Rose explained: “The non-dominant hand is what you’re born with, and the dominant hand is what you do with what you’re given.”
When reading the palm of the hand, the easiest way to analyze it is to take two photographs.
The first should be with the hand open and flat, with the palm facing up, the fingers spread naturally and the thumb extended to the side.
Keep your hand relaxed so you can study the natural lines of your palm.
For the second photo, from the same hand, very gently rotate your fingers from a horizontal position to a very slightly vertical position.
In this way, the lines on the palm become more pronounced and easier to read.
You will start to notice faint, broken, deeper lines when looking at your palm or photos.
Rose said: ‘The lines can change over time as they reflect our choices in life. In general, strong lines suggest depth, strength, or power, and weak lines suggest volatility, instability, or weakness.
The line of destiny
Sometimes called the Line of Fate, the Line of Fate runs vertically across the palm of the hand, often originating near the wrist and extending toward the middle finger.
If the Line of Destiny begins higher than the base of the palm, you can expect success and career changes later in life.
“A strong, solid, unbroken line indicates progress, and if it ends in a fork, it indicates success in finances,” Rose said.
He added: “If the line ends in a trident, it means success, spirituality and fulfillment.”
“A weak destiny line is a disappointment, a lack is a predictable mundane life, and a broken one can indicate a major loss or setback.”
And if you see two lines, you are destined for great success.
It is important to pay attention to where the Line of Destiny intersects another, as this can represent when success will find you.
“The intersection (with) the Head Line (means) around age 35 and the Heart Line at age 55,” Rose explained.
The heart line
The Heart Line is central in palm reading. Professionals claim that this script provides information about feelings, relationships, love and romance.
It runs horizontally along the top of the palm, starting at the edge below the little finger and moving toward the index finger.
A short heart line indicates that you find it difficult to get involved with another person and truly let go.
A long Heart Line means you are expressive with your emotions and throw yourself into relationships.
A short heart line indicates that you find it difficult to get involved with another person.
Also pay close attention to where your Heart Line ends.
‘If your Heart Line ends below your index finger, you are an idealist and a true heart-giver. You give everything in your relationships with others and are very loved by everyone.
If it ends below the middle finger, you focus on family and are a true loyal friend with a sense of duty.
Rose says you can be a leader, independent and have great interpersonal skills.
If your line falls between your index and middle finger, you are very practical in your relationships and use common sense. “You are a trustworthy, calm, tolerant person and you have friends from different backgrounds,” Rose added.
The depth of your Heart Line also provides clues. A deep line means that you love with strong emotions and a weak one means that you find it difficult to get close to others.
The way the Heart Line curves along the palm of your hand toward the fingers indicates how much you love. If it curves upward, you are very expressive with your feelings. A straight line means you are reserved.
Rose said: ‘If your Heart Line goes down at the end, you are someone who keeps their feelings to themselves and doesn’t fall in love easily because when you love it is very deep. You internalize your emotions and some may not find it easy to interpret your emotions.’
The header
This mark is said to offer insight into how you think, process information, and communicate with others.
You can search for it under Heart Line. It starts from the edge near the thumb and extends horizontally to the opposite side of the palm.
In general, a long header line indicates that you value details and can absorb a lot of information.
A deep headline means you have a good memory, a focused mind, and find it easier to concentrate. A shallow head line implies flexible thinking and a shorter attention span.
It is claimed that a short headline suggests that someone thinks more linearly and comes to conclusions quickly.
“A longer line ending below the ring finger means intelligence and a shorter line (means) dullness,” Rose said.
A deep head line supposedly means you have a good memory, a focused mind, and find it easier to concentrate. A superficial one implies flexible thinking and a shorter attention span.
Like the others, curvature also matters. A straightforward headline means practical and realistic.
A sloping or curved line suggests that you trust your instincts and have a vivid imagination.
Where the line begins also reflects different traits.
‘A line closer to the index finger can mean leadership ability, charm and a magnetic personality. “A line that falls toward the middle suggests someone who gets frustrated easily and doesn’t like criticism,” Rose said.
And a very low line suggests a lack of self-confidence.
Mystical Cross
Rose said that the Mystic Cross, which is a line between the Heart and the Head, can be the mark of someone with strong psychic abilities.
If the mark is under the index finger, you could have an “amazing insight” into other people’s thoughts, the palm reader said.
If it is below your middle finger, it is said that you are very intuitive and versatile.
Under your ring finger means creative qualities, healing energies and luck in life.
Finally, if the cross falls under your little finger, Rose says you have a desire to “know the unknown, explore mysticism and spirituality.”
