[edit] How it’s done

Generally, palm readers will usually compare the right hand to the left hand. The passive hand, one not used for writing, etc., is thought to show the inner potential of a person. The dominant hand is believed to show choices the person has made in life and what may be ahead. A really good reader can tell from the shape of the hand and markings what the life pattern is likely to be. They can also see what tendencies the person may have, as well as what things may happen in the future.

[edit] Hand shapes

Palmistry uses the appearance of the entire hand for personality analysis. Among other factors used, the basic shape of the hand is quite important. There are four types of hand shapes. These were named by some past practitioners for the four elements of nature – air, earth, water, and fire. Each hand shows different personality traits.

[edit] Fingertips

In palm-reading, the shape of a person’s fingertips provides further insight into the character of said person. There are four distinct shapes of the fingertips. These are called conic, round, square, and spatulate. The different shapes show even more of the personality traits. This is put together with the shape of the hand to form a clear picture of what someone is like.

[edit] Putting it all together

While the shape of the hand and fingertips reveal quite a lot into the inner workings of a person’s character, the lines of the hand tell more about events in his or her life. There is a line which shows relationships over the years, as well as a line that indicates how long you may life and how your health will fare. Everyone also has lines suggesting what their fate or destiny will be.
