Loss of Direction

Many people contact a palmist when life has reached a crossroads, or when a problem suddenly hits, such as the loss of a job or direction. Losing a job, one’s financial security and purpose can be very hard to cope with, and at a loss to know what to do, and sinking into depression, we wonder if all is lost, if everything we have ever built up is ever going to be replaced.

The features in your hands can help a little here, giving some indication of where your life is leading. Many of us are fearful of change, of the unknown, of losing our security, but remember change is sometimes necessary, and can be a blessing in disguise! Life tends to go through cycles, when we have learnt from one situation and outgrown it, we are ready to move on to the next lesson or cycle. We should never hold on to the past, but should let it go and move forward with anticipation to the next cycle in our lives.

The fate line can begin almost anywhere in the palm, but always points towards the middle finger. This line is related to your direction and purpose, your security and career. If you have hit a crisis in your life connected to your purpose and direction, the chances are that your fate line will echo this. Some people have a fate line which strides firmly and solidly up the palm, revealing a strong sense of purpose and a good solid direction which is unlikely to alter throughout the course of life. These people know where they are at, know where they are going, and are unlikely to make many changes to their direction. That’s great, many of these people are successful, but it can also sometimes indicate being stuck in a rut! Many people though, have fate lines which break up, meander around a more variable path, with sections overlapping each other, cross bars, islands and all sorts of changes appearing. For these people, life is not quite so straightforward, a little more changeable, and for some, this is welcomed, because many of us enjoy changes in our direction. It is said that a change is as good as a rest!

But what if you have lost your direction? What should you look for to give you some hope for the future?

Study your fate line, assuming the length to be from the top crease at your wrist, to the crease below the middle finger, even it your fate line begins higher up your palm. Consider the section below your head line to indicate the first third of your life, 0 – 30 years; the section between your head and heart line to be the second third, 30 – 60 years; and the section above your heart line to represent your retirement years. This will give you an approximate timing gauge.

Now study the fate line in these three sections. Is the line solid, or does it have defects such as breaks forming a complete gap in the line, overlapping breaks where one section ends and another begins? Can you see an island, or a cross bar? All these hint at problems or changes on your journey through life. The quality of the fate line, after one of these defects will tell you whether your direction and purpose resumes. If the line after a defect is reasonably strong, you will find your direction once more.

Starting our journey at the base and moving up the palm, here we have a good start in life, with direction and purpose appearing early in youth.

However, a little later, a problem strikes with the appearance of an island. For a while the direction flounders, there may be financial hardship, having to pull up the purse strings, or some unhappiness creating a temporary loss of direction.

However, the line continues, the problem is resolved as the line restarts, only this time to be hit by a cross bar. Here another problem hits, but is not too difficult to overcome – the cross bar is small and temporary. However, direction is restored as the line continues its journey up the palm.

The fate line ends suddenly with a complete break. Here direction flounders completely, and the person may wonder what on earth is going to happen next. This reveals a complete end to the current path in life, and leaves the owner feeling at a loss. However, the line once again restores itself, and at this point purpose and direction are restored.

Just a little later on up the line, another section of the fate line begins, and is overlapping the current section. Here something else is beginning to draw the interest. It could be anything from a new interest or hobby, a new job, or even a new person entering into the life, which the owner will ultimately feel is better than the current path, and will end up choosing this new direction instead. As the fate line continues strongly after this point, the decision is a good one.

The Apollo line or sun line, as it is sometimes called, runs parallel to the fate line, although it does not always appear in every hand. It can be found as a line running towards the ring finger and can be timed in the same way as the fate line. When this line appears, it implies that some enthusiasm, happiness and optimism enters into life, and if seen after a defect on the fate line, ensures that no matter how disturbed you feel by the problem at the time, any change you are going through will ultimately result in a happier situation for you later on.
