What is Palmistry?
Palmistry is the study of the hand, to tell the future. It's proper term is Chiromancy or cheiromancy. Palmistry can trace its roots back to Indian (Hindu) Astrology (known in Sanskrit as Jyotish) and Roma (gypsy) fortune tellers. The practice of chiromancy is generally regarded as a pseudoscience. It should be noted that the information outlined below is briefly representative of modern palmistry; there are many ― often conflicting ― interpretations of various lines and palmar features across various "schools" of palmistry.
When reading the palm, you take into account the hand and the lines on the palm. The major one's being the... Heart Line. Head Line. Life Line. Fate Line.
And minor one's being the... Sun Line. Girdle Of Venus. Union Line. Mercury Line. Travel Line. Other Markings. Apollo Line.
