Do you know how to read palms? Of all the divination practices, palm reading, also known as palmistry or chiromancy, is one of the most highly regarded, albeit difficult to grasp (pun definitely intended). Simply put, palmistry is the art of analyzing the physical features of the hands to interpret personality characteristics and predict future happenings. Within palm reading, hands are considered portals that shed invaluable insight. But, believe it or not, understanding palm reading basics — including the life line and the love line — isn’t as difficult as you may think. In ancient Chinese palm-reading theory, the right palm represents females while the left represents males. In mainstream palm reading, there is a more credible theory that recommends that both hands should be read.
Your dominant hand is thought to tell the present and the future — opportunities, challenges, and limitations — that is, where you are and where you are going in your life. And the non-dominant hand is said to reveal your inherent characteristics — personality, innate ability, and potential.
Having a deeper understanding of yourself through palm reading may help you to have more inspiration, direction, and aspirations to create your destiny.
Which palms should you read?
Though opinions vary, many modern readers believe it’s important to analyze both the left and right hands: The non-dominant hand reveals natural personality and character, while the dominant hand shows how these traits have been actualized in practice. Together, they reveal how a person is utilizing their potential in this lifetime.
Just like when learning to read an astrology birth chart, palmistry takes time, practice, and expertise. When beginning your analysis, it’s best to start with larger observations and work your way into more nuanced detail. While I encourage you to develop your own interpretations of different creases and shapes, familiarizing yourself with traditional conventions can help you develop a rich vocabulary that will help you interpret palms like a pro.
To get started, take your time to make a few silent observations. What is the texture of the hand? Is the front smooth? Rough? Moist? Dry? Are the fingers manicured or dirty? Remember, as a professional metaphysical practitioner, I can assure you that nothing should be overlooked in divination practices. Everything has meaning, and when you infuse your practice with intuition, you’ll seamlessly extract the symbolism of even the smallest details and nuances.
