Palmistry, also called chiromancy or cheirology, is the practice of reading a person's palms — specifically the lines, shapes, mounts, and patterns on their hands — to tell things about their personality, emotions, and sometimes even predict their future.
In palmistry, readers usually focus on things like:
Major lines: like the heart line (emotions), head line (intellect), life line (vitality), and fate line (career/destiny).
Mounts: little raised areas of flesh under each finger, named after planets like Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, each symbolizing different traits.
Hand shapes and finger lengths: which are said to be linked to the four elements (earth, air, fire, water).
Palmistry is super ancient — it’s thought to have started in India thousands of years ago and later spread to China, Greece, and Europe.
