TRIVIA TODAY - November 5, 2014

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Last week at the library we had a palm reader visit to give a talk and do a few readings on some lucky audience members.

I did not get my palm read since there were so many people waiting, but the reader did share a bunch of interesting facts about how to read some of the lines in our palms on our own.

Here are some of the facts I learned; hope you enjoy!

Enjoy!
Melissa

RANDOM TIDBITS
The heart line is the first of the major lines examined by a reader and represents love and attraction. It is found towards the top of the palm, under the fingers.

The next line identified by palmists is the head line. This line starts at the edge of the palm under the index finger and flows across the palm towards the outside edge.

Palmists generally interpret the head line to represent the person's mind and the way it works, including learning style, communication style, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge. It is also believed to indicate a preference for creative or analytical approaches to information.

The life line extends from the edge of the palm above the thumb and travels in an arc towards the wrist. This line is believed to represent the person's vitality and vigor, physical health and general well being. The life line is also believed to reflect major life changes, including cataclysmic events, physical injuries, and relocations.

The fate line runs from the bottom of the palm near the wrist, up through the center of the palm towards the middle finger. This line is believed to be tied to the person's life path, including school and career choices, successes and obstacles. Sometimes this line is thought to reflect circumstances beyond the individual's control, or alternately the person's choices and their consequences.

A simian crease, or fusing of the heart and head lines, has special significance in that both emotional as well as reasoning nature have to be studied from this line alone.
