What Is Palmistry?
Palmistry, also known as chiromancy, is the ancient art of interpreting the lines, shapes, and features of the hands to gain insight into a person’s character, personality, and life path. Rooted in traditions from India, China, Egypt, and Greece, palmistry has evolved into both a spiritual and psychological tool for self-discovery.
The Science Behind the Hand
In palmistry, the hand is considered a map of your life journey. Each line, mount, and finger reveals clues about your emotions, intellect, relationships, career, and destiny. No two hands are alike — just as no two individuals are the same.
