What stays the same
The basic hand shape, finger lengths and the overall pattern of the major lines remain largely stable through adult life.
What can change
- Minor lines may appear, deepen, fade or disappear.
- Fate and sun lines can strengthen as a person finds their direction.
- Small branches, breaks and islands may form or heal.
- Stress lines can multiply during difficult periods and reduce in calmer times.
Why lines change
Palmists believe the hand reflects the mind and nervous system. As thinking, habits and circumstances change, the finer lines change too.
A positive message
Because lines can change, palmistry encourages growth. Good decisions, discipline and a positive outlook can improve the signs in your hand. Taking a photo of your palms once a year is an interesting way to notice changes.
