Hello, and welcome to Madame Trepanier’s realm of spiritual discovery. Whether it’s a desire to know your true fate or understand intuitive tendencies of others, the mysteries can be unlocked all by the glance of a palm.

Here we have the palm of a willing candidate, curious to know about their future (*cough cough* my mom.)

The most prominent reading on this palm is the lack of ability to handle stress. Either that or they had a stressful childhood. This person can differentiate what is in their head and what is in their heart. They are creative minded with a talent for writing, and have a healthy life ahead. Half-way through their life they may experience a change in direction or career path.

This next palm is pretty different, but they do say opposites attract… (*cough cough* thanks for the pic, Dad.)

Smooooooth sailing. Ability to handle stress as easy as pie. Yes, I just used that metaphor. However, they do have a difficult time figuring what is in their head and what is in their heart. Intuitive and empathetic with a creative mind, according to this palm this person will live a long and healthy life.

As for our third candidate…

Small, furry, cuddly and cute. Knows how to “shake hands” and play dead. Spooky!

Intrigued? Confused? Super-duper weirded-out? All of the above? It is now your turn to learn. Turn the hand you write with upward and get ready to know yourself a little bit better.

1. Stress lines:

All of the extra lines scattered about a palm indicate stress. Now you may be looking at your own palm going, “I am a goddess. I handle stress like a goddess. Bring it on.” These frivolous lines could also be an indication of a stressful childhood.

2. Heart and head lines:

If the head and heart lines on this palm were connected, it would reveal a person who has a difficult time deciphering what they feel in their heart and what they logically know to be true. If not connected like so, that confliction isn’t such a daunting problem. Extending from the heart line creating a sort of branch-looking line means creative-minded and/or talented writer.

3. Life Line:

A short life line does not always mean “unhealthy.” In fact, it mostly has to do with how prominent the line is. If it is faint, that is not typically the best sign. If there is an X in this line, then beware. Witches and werewolves may be the end of you. Branches extending upward illustrate a person’s knack for getting through hardships positively. Branches extending down mean they have not handled hardships so well.

4. Fate Line:

The fate line is the most difficult to spot. In fact, some people do not even have a fate line. This tends to indicate a lack of direction. A broken fate line does not mean divorce, it just means your life will change course whether it be career, hobbies or beliefs.

5. Love life:

A high love life does not always mean that you have S/O’s knocking at your door and leaving unexpected roses and candy. According to palmistry, if this little line is higher than the ones next to it, then you are well-loved by others and love them in return. Lovely.

6. Empathy curve/Bracelets:

If the top line on your wrist is curved, then you are empathetic and intuitive.

Now, go forth and read the palms of your friends, families and puppies. Heck, give your own palm a good read! 

Don't make this ginger snap... just kidding. I'm usually pretty nice. I am a happy-go-lucky, Avril Lavigne lovin' and poodle obsessed San Diego girl. I think I'v been handling the cold weather pretty well! Communication is my degree of choice, although maybe someday I'll be a world reknown astrologer... One last thing: I'm pretty sarcastic.
