Short answer
The core question, answered
To read palm lines, open your palm in good light and find the three big lines first. The life line (jeevan rekha) curves around the base of your thumb. The head line (mastishk rekha) runs across the middle of the palm. The heart line (hriday rekha) sits highest, under the fingers. Then look for the fate line (bhagya rekha), which climbs from the wrist towards the middle finger, and the sun line (surya rekha), which rises towards the ring finger. Not everyone has all five.
No single line tells the story. A palmist notes how deep each line is, how long, whether it breaks or forks, and reads them together with the mounts (the fleshy pads under each finger) and the length of the fingers. That is the whole method behind hath ki rekha kaise dekhe, and it is also what makes it hard to do alone.
The method
How the palmistry chat reads your palm
The palmistry chat works from a photo of your right palm.
01
Sign in and open the palmistry chat.
02
Take a photo with your camera or pick one from your gallery.
Hold the palm open, fingers straight, in bright light.
03
The photo is checked first.
If the heart and head lines cannot be traced, or the palm is too small in the frame, you are asked to retake it.
04
Tell the AI astrologer your age and gender.
05
You receive a reading of your lines, mounts and fingers.
It is organised as past, present and future, with events placed by your age and the position of your fate line.
06
Ask follow-up questions in the same chat.
The AI reads the photo directly using traditional palmistry. It does not measure the lines with separate software, so a sharp, well-lit photo matters.

The five lines, one by one
Life line (jeevan rekha)
It arcs around the thumb's base. Traditionally it speaks of vitality and the energy you bring to life, not of how long you will live. A deep, unbroken line is read as steady energy; breaks and chains are read as changes of pace.
Head line (mastishk rekha)
It crosses the palm below the fingers. A long, straight line is traditionally linked to practical, analytical thinking; a curving or sloping line to imagination and creative thought.
Heart line (hriday rekha)
It runs under the fingers. Palmists read it for how you give and receive affection. Where it ends, and whether it forks, changes the reading.
Fate line (bhagya rekha)
A vertical line towards the middle finger, associated with career and the direction of your working life. Many people have a faint one or none, and that is not read as a lack of fortune.
Sun line (surya rekha)
A line towards the ring finger, traditionally tied to recognition and satisfaction in what you do.
Mounts and fingers
The pads under the fingers (parvat) and the length of the fingers add context. A strong line on a flat mount reads differently from the same line on a full one.
Left or right hand?
Traditions differ. Some read the left for what you were born with and the right for what you have made of it; others read the dominant hand. The palmistry chat asks for your right palm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hand should I read?
Traditions disagree, so the answer depends on the school. The palmistry chat reads a photo of your right palm.
Do I need my date of birth?
No. You give a palm photo, your age and your gender. You do need to sign in to start.
How accurate is palm reading?
Palmistry is a traditional practice, not a science. A reading points to tendencies and themes to reflect on; it does not guarantee any outcome.
Can palm lines change?
Yes, lines can deepen, fade or shift over the years. That is why a fresh photo gives a fresh reading.
What if my photo is rejected?
The palm must fill most of the frame, with fingers not too curled and the lines clear enough to trace. Move closer, use daylight and try again.
Is it free?
You can start for free.
Which languages does it work in?
12, including English, Hindi and Hinglish.
Palmistry indicates tendencies and does not guarantee outcomes. It is not medical, legal or financial advice.
