QUESTION # 1: What is the meaning of having just one line traveling horizontally across my palm?
ANSWER: When there is one line instead of two lines marking the palm horizontally, this is called the line of Simian. Usually there are at least three lines in a palm. The head line, heart line, and the life line. But when the Simian line is present there are no separate head and heart line markings. When you read palmistry books you will find that the Simian line can receive a lot of “bad press,” plus there is much conflicting data as to its meaning. Most of the people who have asked this question were very concerned about this line being a “bad sign.” I practice observing the people I read for my own data collection about hands. Those who have this line that I know personally and as clients have helped me form my ideas of what this line represents. Remember when determining the influence of this line it is important to check to see if it is in both hands. Often it is only in one hand. As usual, I will repeat myself telling you that you have to see at least two other marks to back up what any one line or mark demonstrates. So with that in mind here are some traits of the Simian lined personality:
1. They are usually very energetic about anything they do.2. They tend to see things as either black or white, no shades of gray in their perception.3. Since the line is a combination of the heart and head lines they will approach their goals totally mentally or be all emotional in a situation. It seems they do not blend mind and emotion easily. This creates a single mindedness in their personality which I have found allows for tremendous focus and ability to follow through on promises and goals. I see them as devoted and persevering.4. They are creative and often driven to do their creative thing. It is reported Steinbeck had two lines of Simian.
