What is Palm Reading?
Palmistry, also known as Chiromancy, is the science of studying your palms to derive your personality traits and potential future. A palmist can decode various aspects of your personality like emotions, vitality and your mind.
In the spirit of quest for knowledge, another branch of Jyotish Shastra was born: Palmistry (Hasta Samudrika Shastra). This is based on your palm lines and the type of hands you have.
Studying your non-dominant hand can tell the palmist exactly who you are on the inside, while your dominant hand shows the actions you have taken since birth. Just like no two persons have the same fingerprint, palm lines are equally intricate and unique.
Which Hand To See For Palm Reading?
Your dominant hand
Whichever hand you work with and use the most. The active (dominant) hand shows major life changes, while the passive (non-dominant) hand reveals intrinsic characteristics you were born with.
