PALM READING

Palm reading—also called palmistry—is the practice of interpreting the lines, shape, and features of the hand to understand a person’s character, life patterns, and potential future trends ✋🔍
It’s been used for thousands of years in India, Sri Lanka, China, Greece, and the Middle East.

The basic idea

Your hands reflect:

• How you think

• How you feel

• How you act

• And the patterns that tend to repeat in your life

Palmistry doesn’t claim to “fix” the future—it looks at tendencies and directions, not fate carved in stone.

Main parts of palm reading

1. Palm shape

• Earth hand (square, firm): practical, grounded

• Air hand (square + long fingers): analytical, communicative

• Fire hand (long palm, short fingers): energetic, leadership-oriented

• Water hand (long palm + fingers): sensitive, intuitive

2. Major lines

• Life line: vitality and life energy (not lifespan)

• Head line: thinking style and decision-making

• Heart line: emotions, love, and relationships

• Fate line: career direction and life responsibilities (not everyone has it)

3. Mounts (raised areas)
Each mount relates to a planet and a trait:

• Venus: love, vitality

• Jupiter: ambition, leadership

• Saturn: discipline, wisdom

• Sun (Apollo): creativity, recognition

• Mercury: communication, business

4. Fingers & thumb

• Show willpower, logic, independence, and balance between emotion and reason

Which hand is read?

• Right hand: current life and choices

• Left hand: inborn traits and potential
  (Some traditions reverse this for women.)

Is palm reading scientific?

No—it’s a traditional and interpretive art, not a science. Many people use it for:

• Self-reflection

• Understanding strengths and weaknesses

• Personal growth guidance
