Quick Facts About Palm Reading

1. Palm reading has been practiced in India since ancient times as a science to predict future events. It has
its roots in Indian astrology. The lines etched on the palm are studied in order to understand the native’s
personality traits and future and past events. A lot can be understood about the person based on the
shape of his thumb, fingers, hands and even the nails! There is a meaning attached to each unique hand
shape.
The major lines which are studied in palm reading are the heart line, head line, li fe line, fate line, child
line, marriage line and travel lines, etc. Mounts too play an important role in palm reading. Each mount
takes its name after a planet and signifies a different personality feature. In females, the right hand is
used to study what a woman is born with and the left hand signifies what she has accumulated
throughout her life. In males, the left hand is used to study what a person is born with and the right
hand signifies what the man has accumulated through his experiences in life. This thought differs across
schools of astrology. Palm Reading practice in Egypt is a lot different from the beliefs in India. There is
no right or wrong way when it comes to understanding this science.
