Palmistry, also known as chiromancy, is the ancient practice of interpreting the lines, shapes, and features of the hands to gain insights into an individual's character, emotions, and life path.
Originating in India and spreading to China, Greece, and Europe, palmistry combines elements of psychology, astrology, and philosophy.
The hand is divided into different sections, with specific mounts, lines, and finger features representing various aspects of life, such as love, career, health, and destiny. The major lines—Heart Line, Head Line, and Life Line—form the foundation of palm reading, while additional signs, such as crosses, stars, and loops, provide deeper insights.
Each hand is believed to reflect the subconscious and conscious aspects of an individual's life, with the dominant hand showcasing the present and future, and the passive hand revealing inherited traits and past influences.
Palmistry is not just about predicting the future; it is a tool for self-awareness and understanding one's potential and challenges. Whether viewed as an art, science, or divination tool, palmistry continues to fascinate and guide those who seek deeper meaning in the patterns of their hands.
