Hands are considered important portals that reveal invaluable insight
Chiromancy another name for Palmistry is the art of reading the physical features of the hand (the study of the palm lines) to interpret a person's personality and to foresee future events. While the origins of Palmistry are uncertain it is believed it may have begun in Ancient India, the home of the traditional fortune-telling of the Romany Gypsies and spread from there.
Do You Know?
Aristotle elevated the relevance of Palmistry 2500 years ago when he stated "The lines are not in hands without a reason" A belief that remains till the present day.
Palmistry is thought to be the oldest branch of astrology.
Today, many modern palmists believe it's important to read both the left and right hands. The non-dominant hand is considered to expose the natural personality and character, while the dominant hand reveals how these traits are realised in practice. Together, they show how a person is applying their potential in this lifetime. In saying this, the more active hand is usually read. That means left for left-handers and right for those who write with their right hand.
The average number of lines in the palms is approximately 30.
The small lines on the hands
change every six months, except for the ones on the thumb. They
remain the same forever.

The Three Fundamental Elements of a Palm Reading
- The Four Basic Hand Shapes: Each is connected with a different element and its associated traits. FIRE-long palm and short fingers. These hands commonly have distinctive creases and defined mounds; WATER-long palms and long fingers. These hands are normally soft to the touch, a bit clammy and in general have a narrow appearance; EARTH-square palms and short fingers. These hands are often firm, strong and chubby; and AIR-square palms and long bony fingers. These hands are often bony with bulging knuckles and frail fingers.
- Palm Lines: One of the most well-known aspects of palm reading is the interpretation of the palm lines, also known as creases or folds. These provide important information about a person's destiny, life and relationships. The primary lines are the Lifeline, Heart Line, Fate Line, and Sun Line.
- Mounts: These are the plump areas of the palm. The mounts reveal qualities and tendencies associated with various life subjects. They correspond to different planets within Astrology. The seven key mounts are the Mount of Jupiter, Mount of Apollo, Mount of Luna, Mount of Saturn, Mount of Mercury Mount of Venus and the Mars region.

Other rudiments that play a significant role in palm reading include, the length and shape of the finger, mounds, plains, intersections and crosses.
When it comes to personality analysis Palmistry and Psychology share common ground.
Palmistry can reveal someone's past and in most cases, it can help to root out the cause of a person's spiritual pain.
While it is often associated with the length of a person's life, the lifeline line actually represents vitality and energy. It is the most well-known line on the palm of the hand and runs from the edge of the palm above the thumb and curves down towards the wrist.
The "M" shape on the palm. When the Head Line, Heart Line, Life Line and Fate Line connect, it can look like an "M". Spiritually, this means being blessed and having good fortune. Also, it can be a sign of strong intuition and creativity, as well as determination and career development.
