They provide information about one's future and how to overcome upcoming difficulties.

A True Story:Diane Straits, a 32 year old professor, had a palmistry reading that turned out to be extremely accurate. Without knowing anything about her or her past, the palmistry reader accurately classified her hand as "Elemental" (see above chart), and predicted her future. The palmist said she was brilliant but had a very short life left and that her emotional 'heart' line was very short. As it turned out, she was soon diagnosed schizophrenic and her son died two months later causing her great grief. She died about a year after, and when her sister found Diane's palmistry report, she was amazed at its accuracy.
