What’s a Mystic Cross?
By Peggie Arvidson
What’s a Mystic Cross?
I was trained in a school of palmistry that didn’t talk about the Mystic Cross much. Still, it’s hard to study hands and read as much about palmistry and hand analysis as I do and not come across references to this mystical marker.
The more I read about it and the more I looked at my own hands I realized that I do have one of these! In fact, I’ve had it for as long as I’ve been studying hands.
During my certification process I asked about this X between my heart and head lines and it was identified it as a marker of change and upheaval in my life occurring in or around my 41st year.
This made sense then and in hindsight. In my 41st year my entire life changed – dramatically. I knew it was coming and it was underway during my hand analysis certification process. The culmination came later that year, but since I don’t believe in coincidences, I made the connection that a cross between a head and heart line, with its center point directly below the Saturn (middle) finger would always indicate some sort of massive life change.
(If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that I believe that change is inevitable – neither good or bad – so go ahead and lean into it.)
Massive life change isn’t the easiest sort of change to lean into, however, now that I’m through the process I can assure you it was completely worth it.
Fast forward 11 years and this cross is still one of the most common questions I’m asked regarding palmistry! There are currently 81 comments on the post I wrote about this on website!
Still for years I ignored the questions responded cavalierly that this cross simply reflected a life-change around the person’s 40s.
But I couldn’t really shake this Mystic Cross mystery so I went back through my library of palmistry books and started digging into the meaning of a Mystic Cross. Most books (and websites you’ll find) simply state it’s an indicator of psychic ability, which is probably why I wrote it off at first – I feel strongly that EVERYONE has psychic ability.
Then I started to meditate on that – what if a Mystic Cross is a type of gift marking? What if a Mystic Cross appeared on your hand to remind you that you got an extra dose of this intuitive/psychic/mystical/alchemical gift in order to go deeply into your purpose and service in the world? What if it showed up when you were NOT using it to its fullest advantage and you had a penalty to work through?
In hand analysis sessions I am trained to take note of specific gift and wisdom markings in the palm. Gift markings, by definition are there to remind us to use the specific gifts we were born with in pursuit of deepest happiness and purpose in the world. Most people are excited when they hear about a gift marking in their hands. They often sit up a little straighter and smile when I describe the gift. That is until I tell them about the penalty that is likely kicking them in the gut right at the moment. Gift markings come with a penalty for disuse. You have to use the gift or otherwise you end up in the penalty box.
My insight about a Mystic cross worked in alignment with my original understanding that there would be a life change in the early-mid 40s. On the surface the change I underwent didn’t seem to be connect to doing psychic work, hindsight is awesome and I see that I needed to clear out all the things that were keeping me stuck in my pre-psychic life in order to do my healing work more fully.
I’ve never been one of those believers with a big B. I’m not a person who goes to a psychic already enamored of the wisdom they’ll bestow on me. I’m intrigued by things mystical and other-wordly, but I face them all with a skeptic’s eye and a strong need for authentication. Frankly, I’m the Doubting Thomas of the Psychic World.
Still…I can’t shake the idea that a Mystic Cross shows up to push us into accepting and using our intuitive gifts. It shows up to require us to explore not only what is seen, but what is unseen, and to face the fear of mockery and ostracism that we believe will accompany a more intuitive life.
A Mystic Cross means more than simply dabbling in the magical arts for giggles, it means stepping deeply into the quest for spiritual truth and answers. Finding those answers and making peace with the spiritual, natural and material world is the gift of the Mystic Cross.
Strange !! I have a clear visible perfectly visible marking of the cross on my right hand !
I have it too. Also a simian crease so maybe it does not count because the cross is part of it?
I have both on each hand
me too
I would like to learn more about mystic cross. I have it in both hands. Thank you.
There are definitely many places to learn about this – although I can’t describe it better than I did here: “Still…I can’t shake the idea that a Mystic Cross shows up to push us into accepting and using our intuitive gifts.

I have one in left hand and two in my right hand. What would that mean?
I’ve forwarded your question to the author.
Peggie,
I was at a party and this lady in her 80’s said she read palms and asked if she could read mine, she saw the Mystic Cross (what she called the Sacred Cross) in my right hand very clearly and faintly in my left hand. She said that meant you possess all they psychic gifts. She said in her 60+ years of reading palms, she has only seen about 30 people with double crosses. I have been doing spiritual work from one degree to another most of my adult life on a multitude of intuitive levels all prior to even knowing about the cross on the palm.
Have you ever heard of anyone having multiple crosses on each hand I have travel lines from the thumb on my right hand to a mystic cross then a trail of crosses up to my ring finger
Interesting, I have this cross and my husband died unexpectedly less than a month before my 41st birthday.
I have it on both hands.
I do have in my right hand.. clearly.. and your story close eneough from mines..my life changed at 40’s… and i can read people by using thier pic.. its totally stranged to me.. but my intuitive really strong..
Thanks for reading us and commenting
I have many many crosses on each hand. What does this mean?
I don’t know exactly whether it is just 40s. Cause i had my very first experience on feb 2018. And i am 26 now. It is somthing that i can not explain. From the childhood i like to be roam alone. To be continued…
This cross is make me confused sometimes to make decisions.
I have always feel more active, tolerable then others.
It make me always go out of box and think in a completely different way. I would have not known untill i start to speak about how i take things, life, prospective.
There are too many information on internet that i have came across. I believe
Starseed,
Seeing number 1111,
Dejavu,
Illuminati,
The eye,
Lucid dreams
Magic Mashroom, ayovasca, and
I, ME, MYSELF.
These all have something in common.
Still looking for what i am doing here. And i should i do. Till now i know i am here to spread positivity and try to make balance.
Any more information will be appreciated.
Thanks

Whelp I have SIX between my middle to my ring finger. What the world does that mean!? I am in 46 and definitely had a couple MAJOR changes last 3 years.
I have one on my hand
What does the penalty box mean and what else do we know about it? And how can we avoid falling into this penalty box?
I just saw a video on Tik Tok and looked at my palm and saw that I had a mystical cross.
I decided to further look up the meaning and saw your article. I just turned 42 and at 41 I left the
nan I was with for a long time because he changed his mind on wanting to have kids which
was extremely important to me. The marriage was good but I always felt that I wanted to be
a mom and left to fulfill my dream. I started all over because of my yearning to be a mother.
I have also been intuitive when it comes to others.
I do have this cross in my right hand , I got married at age 18 have 3 kids , at age 39 got divorced at age 40 got married second time and age 41 had a 4th baby and this month I will move to a different country . So your right big change at 40s
I have same mystical cross in my right hand plam. now I am 43 yrs old and waiting for some good changes will it happen?
Thank you Peggie for sharing .. although like you I’m always skeptical of the source where we derive our information.
Nonetheless the mark exists on my hand and rest assured the interest in the occult / esoteric resides deep within me. That I can take to the bank – but uncertain if the mystic cross and one’s personal affinity towards occult matters have a connection.
True
Same cross on same place in my hand
Life changed after 40, very fast and positive
