For females, the right hand is what you're born with, and left is what you'veaccumulated throughout your life.For males, it is the other way around. The left hand is what you're born with, andthe right is what you've accumulated throughout your life.That being said, you can also choose whichever hand is dominant to be yourpresent/past life hand (the non-dominant hand would then be your future lifehand).
There are different schools of thought on the matter. Some say the lefthand shows potential and what could be -- not necessarily what will be.And a difference in the hands could mean one is or is about to take
action when it comes to their lives, changing it.[2]
Identify the four major lines. There may be breaks in them or they may be short,but at least three of them are there.

Look at the mounts. That's what the fleshy bit below your fingers are called, onthe opposite side of your knuckle. To make them visible, cup your hand just a bit.
Which one is the largest?
A high Venus mount (the one under your thumb) indicates a predisposition forhedonism, promiscuity, and the need for instant gratification. A non-existentVenus mount indicates little interest in family matters.The mount under your index finger is called the Jupiter mount. If this iswell-developed, it means you are dominant, possibly self-centered, andaggressive. A lack of one means you lack confidence.Under your middle finger is the Saturn mount. A high mount shows you'restubborn, cynical, and prone to depression. If it is low, it's an indicator ofsuperficiality and disorganization.

The Sun mount is under your ring finger. You're quick-tempered, extravagant,and prideful if you have a high Sun mount. A low Sun mount means you lackimagination.The Mercury mount is under your pinkie. If it's protruding, you talk too much. Alow mount means the opposite -- you're shy.
None of this is based on science. And your hands are known to changethroughout time. Don't take any of it too seriously!
Examine the hand and finger size. Relative to the size of the body, some say thatsmall hands are active and don't dwell on thinking about what to do. Large hands
are on those who are contemplative and slow to action.[4]
Remember, this is relative to the body. If you're 8 feet tall (2.4 m), you're goingto have bigger hands than a 4 year old. It's all proportional.What's more, long fingers may be an indicator of anxiety, in addition to beingwell-mannered, good looking, and delicate. Short fingers are found on thosewho are impatient, highly-sexed, and creative.Long fingernails, on the other hand, mean you're kind and a good secret-keeper.Short fingernails mean you're critical and sarcastic. If they're almond-shaped,
you're sweet and diplomatic.[2]

Accept that palm reading is not always accurate. The fate of your lifeand your decisions should not be influenced by fortune-telling; rather,your own efforts and fortitude are what really help you to succeed inlife.
Make sure the lighting in the area you are planning to read palms isgood, because trying to do it in the dark makes it difficult to get a goodread.
Don't believe everything. You can make your own decision, no matterwhat.
Don't judge others while reading their palms!
Don't concern yourself with the thinner and shallower lines. Only followthe main four that are deepest. Getting involved with the other linescould lead to unwanted confusion. Leave these lines for a professional.
Palm reading is not always right.
Find your child line. Make a fist with your right hand. Look on the outerside of your hand, near the pinky. The number of lines you have will bethe number of children you produce (the line connecting the finger tothe hand does not count as a child line). Of course, personal choice,birth control and success or failure to hitch up with someone will alsohave more concrete reasons to do with how many children you end uphaving.
Since palm lines change as you progress through life, palm reading isseen by many as an opportunity to reveal what's already happened, but
not as a way of predicting the future.[5]
Note the texture of the hand, front and back. Soft hands signifysensitivity and refinement, while rough hands signify a coarse
temperament.[6]
