Handprints Track Changing Lines
By: Julian Pollock
One of the interesting facets regarding the lines on hands is how they change over time. Changes can occur on pretty well every line on the hand including the major lines, the head line, the heart line, the life line. Of course this is not so surprising if one thinks about the huge developments we all go through. In the teens for instance our intellectual and emotional capabilities are stretched to the limit. It would be surprising, if not disappointing (particularly to the parents observing their children's lines on their hands,) if some acknowledgement of this did not manifest in the heart and head lines.
For someone venturing into the inner sciences, meditation and the like, some signs and marks may appear or increase in depth and vividity, particularly in the region of the mount of the moon. I should immediately admonish anyone over obsessive observance for such indications within their own hand lines though. Inner development requires time and continuous effort and the lines reflecting this are often delayed in appearing.
Some signs, particularly of health or of a temporary physical danger, can actually appear and disappear with surprising speed. A sign that is of great significance is a break in the lifeline (or sometimes the health line) that was previously not apparent. This often occurs dramatically at the ‘present’ age on one's life line and obviously indicates an immediate obstacle or danger to life or health. Sometimes this line is supported by a mark of protection such as the break being enclosed in a small square that also ‘magically’ appears at the same time. Another such guardian indication would be a small parallel line bridging the gap close to the main line.
For those of us who do observe the lines of our hands, you might find it very useful to make the occasional handprint which acts as documented evidence against an overzealous or fading memory. I personally would like to have had a handprint made when I was very young. If my parents had taken the trouble to make little ink handprints of both hands when I was a child or even a baby, I'm sure I would have continued making regular handprints perhaps every 10 years. I am even more certain that they would become an immense source of joy to me over the passing years.
