　　Palmistry(手相术)is the ancient art of studying the lines on the palm of the hand to describe a person's character and foretell future events in his or her life．

　　A palm reader usually looks first at a person's Life Line．This line begins under the index finger(食指)and goes down toward the wrist(手腕)．This line describes the way a person lives his or her life．A person who has a deep Life Line is energetic．If a person's Life Line is not deep, he or she is just thinking and talking about things without doing them．

　　The Heart Line runs across the hand, just below the fingers．This line describes one's feelings．A person with a deep Heart Line is easy-going．If a person's Heart Line is not deep, he or she is outgoing．

　　The Head Line is below the Heart Line and above the Life Line．It describes how a person thinks．A person with a long Head Line thinks about things very carefully．If a person's Head Line is short, he or she is confident and good at making decisions quickly．A person with a deep Head Line is clever and talkative．If a person's Head Line is not deep, he or she is often untidy, but very creative．
