The short answer is: Yes, absolutely. The idea that the right palm shows "the facts" does not mean it is static or unchangeable. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
The Core Philosophy: "Right Hand is Fate, Left Hand is Potential" In Chinese palmistry (and many other schools of thought), the common interpretation is:
Left Hand (for right-handed people): Represents your innate potential, inherited traits, and what you are born with. It is your "blueprint" or "heavenly gift." It is considered more fixed, showing the core personality and talents you arrived in this world with.
Right Hand (for right-handed people): Represents your lived experience, choices, actions, and accumulated destiny. It shows how you have used your innate potential. It is the "facts" of your life as you have lived it so far. For left-handed people, this is often reversed.
Why the "Facts" Change The "facts" of your life are not a pre-recorded movie you simply watch. They are more like a book you are actively writing. Your palm is the paper, and your life choices are the ink.
Here’s how it works:
Your Choices Create Change: The lines on your palm are not simply etched in stone; they are formed by the complex interplay of your nervous system, brain activity, and even your subconscious mind. When you make significant choices, learn new skills, overcome challenges, or change your mindset, it physically manifests on your palm over time.
A difficult period of stress might deepen your Head Line (Line of Wisdom) or create fine lines branching from it.
A profound emotional experience or a new deep relationship can change the course of your Heart Line.
A major career shift or a surge of life purpose can strengthen your Fate Line.
The Lines Evolve: It's very common for new lines to appear, for faint lines to become deep and clear, or for existing lines to branch out or fade away. A "break" in a line might later be "mended" by a parallel line forming next to it, symbolizing recovery from a setback.
The "Few Years" Timeline: While changes are constant, major, noticeable changes to the deep primary lines (Heart, Head, Life, Fate) typically correspond to major life chapters or transformative periods, which could indeed be every few years or even decades. However, smaller lines (like relationship lines on the Mount of Mercury or travel lines) can change much more frequently.
A Practical Example Imagine your left hand shows a short, broken Fate Line (career/life path line). This might indicate an innate potential for career instability or a lack of clear direction.
If you live passively, your right hand might mirror this exactly—a short, broken Fate Line, confirming that "fact" of your life.
However, if you actively work on finding your purpose, retrain, build a business, or persevere through challenges, your right hand may show a very different picture. The Fate Line might grow longer, become continuous, or be reinforced by supporting lines. The "fact" of your career path has changed because your actions changed it.
So, your understanding is correct. The right hand showing "the facts" means it shows the factual record of your life as it has been lived up to this point. Because you are constantly living and making choices, that record is constantly being updated. It is a dynamic map, not a static prophecy.
A skilled palm reader would therefore always read both hands together:
The left hand reveals the raw material you were given.
The right hand reveals the masterpiece (or work-in-progress) you are creating with it.
This is actually a very empowering concept. It means that while you may have certain inclinations or challenges (left hand), you have the free will to actively shape your destiny and change the "facts" of your life, which will be recorded on your right palm.
