Palmistry (chiromancy) reads the hand on two levels: the major lines etched across the palm, and the fleshy mounts named after the classical planets. Together they form a map traditional readers use for reflection on character, temperament and the turning points of a life.
Start by deciding which hand to read. A common convention treats the non-dominant (passive) hand as your inherited potential and the dominant (active) hand as what you have done with it. Comparing the two — where they agree and where they diverge — usually says more than either hand alone.
The mounts are the raised pads of the palm, each named for a planet: Venus (love and vitality), Jupiter (ambition), Saturn (discipline), Apollo (creativity), Mercury (communication), Mars (courage) and Luna (imagination). A prominent mount is read as a strong expression of that planet's qualities.
Before the lines, classical readers note the overall hand shape (earth, air, fire or water) and the fingers and thumb, which set the temperament the lines are then read against.
A common convention is that the non-dominant (passive) hand shows your inherited potential and the dominant (active) hand shows what you have made of it. Reading both and noting the differences is more revealing than reading either alone.
The heart line (emotions and relationships), the head line (thinking style and decision-making), and the life line (vitality and life changes — not lifespan). A fourth line, the fate line, is present on some hands and relates to career and direction.
No. Despite the name, the life line reflects vitality, energy and major life transitions, not the length of your life. A short or broken life line is not an omen about death.
The mounts are the fleshy pads named after planets — Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo (Sun), Mercury, Mars and Luna (the Moon). Their relative prominence is read as the strength of the qualities each planet represents.
No. Palmistry is a traditional symbolic art with no scientific basis for prediction. Use it for reflection and self-insight rather than as fact about your future.
