Palmistry is the study of the lines and signs of the hands. It is the practice of telling fortunes from the lines, marks, and patterns on the hands, particularly the palms. Your palm print is the blueprint of your life. It tells everything about you - past, present, future - health - and more. Everything on your palm means something even the nails and color tones of the skin.

In astrology and palmistry, there are six types of hands to be identified. These different types show different characteristics and a person’s character can be determined on the basis of his or her hand type.

The shapes and sizes of fingers and nails are important aspects of palmistry. The length of the fingers supplies various information about the character. A long-fingered person is analytical and academic, liking to study things in detail. A person with markedly short fingers is very practical and intuitive, liking to go with their gut instinct.
