1 The life line

It tells you whether someone is susceptible to illness and what kind of lifestyle they lead.

Depending on how pronounced it is, it can stand for intelligence, the ability to concentrate and a positive attitude. If it is strongly branched, it stands for creativity and imagination.

3 The heart line

The heart line reveals whether a person is lucky in love and enjoys a beautiful partnership. Infidelity and disappointment in love can also be recognized by the line. If it is particularly red and deep, this indicates a passionate type.

Not everyone has a clearly visible Mars line. People who have it can look forward to protection from people, angels or the deceased.

5 The Sun line

The Sun line stands for success and happiness in life. If it is not present, it means that the person will have to fight harder for success.

It indicates the type of relationship: If it is regular, it stands for a happy partnership, if it is irregular, there will be turbulence from time to time. The Venus ring runs in an arc from the middle finger to the ring finger.

7 The love lines

They indicate how many stable partnerships we will have in life: the more lines, the more romantic relationships. Broken lines indicate a separation. They run under the ring finger.

8 The line of destiny

The deeper it is, the more consistent and ambitious we are. If it is very long, we are successful. If it is missing, it means that we let ourselves drift more in life and plan less. It runs down the middle of the hand from the ball of the thumb to the middle finger.

9 The rasp

If they are very long and pronounced, they are a sign of a happy life. Interruptions stand for new challenges. The raspettes run directly under the ball of the hand.
