Palm reading, also known as palmistry, is an ancient practice of interpreting the lines, shapes, and features of a person’s hand to gain insight into their character and future. Practiced in many cultures, especially in India, China, and ancient Greece, palmistry focuses on major lines such as the heart line, head line, and life line, as well as mounts and finger shapes. Palm readers believe that each hand reveals different aspects of one’s life—personality, emotions, health, career, and destiny. It is often used for self-discovery and guidance.
