Microcosm in Your Hand: The Hills of Stars and Map of Destiny

Look closely at your palm. Did you know there is a small universe unfolding right there?

Ancient astrologers believed that just as the stars in the sky influence human destiny, the energy of those stars is contained within our palms. That's why the fleshy mounds on the palm were named after the planets of the solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury, Venus, and the Moon.

Reading palms is not just about interpreting lines; it is the process of interpreting the map of the universe contained within your hand. Where is your innate starry energy concentrated? Let's begin this mystical exploration.

1. The Basics: Which Hand to Read?

The most fundamental question. You've probably heard, "Left is innate, Right is acquired."

• Left Hand (Innate): Traits you were born with, potential, and inherited luck.
• Right Hand (Acquired): Personality formed through life, current health status, and future changes.

2. Deep Dive: The 3 Major Lines

① Life Line (Vitality)

Curving from between the thumb and index finger down to the wrist. It shows 'Vitality' and 'Life's Ups and Downs', not necessarily lifespan.

• Double Life Line: A thin line inside the main one? Double vitality! You have immense recovery power.
• Long Line wrapping the wrist: Indicates longevity and energy lasting into old age.
• Travel Line branching out: If the end branches towards the outside (Mount of Moon), you are destined to succeed away from home or abroad.

② Head Line (Intellect)

Crossing the middle of the palm above the Life Line. Crucial for finding aptitude and career.

• Forked End: Symbol of versatility! Good language skills and business sense, suitable for multi-jobs.
• Curving Up towards Pinky: A 'Business' head line with sharp money sense.
• Curving Down deep towards Wrist: An 'Artist' head line with rich imagination. Common in writers or designers.

③ Heart Line (Emotion)

Running from under the pinky towards the index finger. Governs personality and love luck.

• Chained Shape: Sensitive and popular, but may be fickle.
• Reaching the Index Finger: A romanticist who lives and dies for love. Possessive.
• Simian Line (Single Transverse Palmar Crease): Head and Heart lines merged into one straight line across the palm! Very rare. Genius or fool. Seen in successful CEOs like Chung Ju-yung. Incredible concentration.

3. Navigation of Life: Fate & Sun Lines

While the 3 major lines show 'Who I am', these vertical lines show 'Social Success'.

① Fate Line (Career)

Rising from the wrist towards the middle finger. Shows life goals and career achievements.

• Starting from Center: Self-made. Succeeds through own efforts without help.
• Starting from Mount of Moon (Outside): Good for careers relying on popularity or public support (entertainers).

② Sun Line (Fame & Wealth)

Vertical line under the ring finger. Sometimes valued more than the Fate Line. Symbolizes money, fame, popularity, and happiness.

• If distinct, money follows and people gather. You can live rich even without a Fate Line.
• Many thin lines? Talented but money scatters because you can't focus on one thing.

4. Love & Marriage: The Marriage Line

Short horizontal lines on the side of the palm under the pinky. Nowadays, seen as timing for 'Impactful Relationships' rather than just marriage count.

• One distinct line: Happy marriage or meeting a lifelong partner.
• Curving Up: Ideal marriage, or luck improves after marriage.
• Curving Down: Hints at partner's health issues or a period of lethargy.

5. The Mounts: Where Luck Gathers

Palmistry isn't just lines. The fleshy 'Mounts' determine the storage of energy.

• Mount of Jupiter (Under Index): Ambition, leadership, power. Fleshy means a leader's face.
• Mount of Saturn (Under Middle): Solitude, research, religion. Too high means loneliness.
• Mount of Sun (Under Ring): Art, popularity, charm. Developed in celebrities.
• Mount of Mercury (Under Pinky): Business, speech, wealth. Crucial for merchants.
• Mount of Venus (Thumb Base): Vitality, affection, stamina. Must be fleshy for health and energy.
• Mount of Moon (Outer Heel): Imagination, creativity, travel. Important for writers/travelers.

6. Lucky Signs 💰

① The Lucky 'M'

Formed by the connection of Life, Head, Heart, and Fate lines, creating a large 'M'. Found in billionaires like Warren Buffett. The ultimate sign of Will + Health + Brains + Luck.

② The Trident

Fate, Sun, and Mercury lines meeting at the center and branching up like a trident. Famous in Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee's palm. Means earned wealth multiplies massively.

③ Solomon's Ring

A semi-circle around the base of the index finger. Symbolizes intuition, leadership, and wisdom. Found in teachers or spiritual leaders.
