Hands

Readyour palm

Look at your dominant hand in good light and choose what you see. You do the observing; the page only puts the traditional reading beside each choice.

Start from a photo (experimental)

Take or choose a photo of your dominant palm, held flat to the camera in good light. It is read in this browser and never uploaded. The page proposes a choice for each line and draws what it found on the photo. It has been tested on drawings and sample images, not on many real hands, so check every choice and change what is wrong.

Hand shape: the palm and the fingers
Heart line: the curve under the fingers
Head line: the line across the middle of the palm
Life line: the curve around the base of the thumb
Fate line: the vertical line up the middle of the palm

02How it worksAttributed

Palmistry, or chiromancy, is practised in many cultures. In India it is Hasta Samudrika Shastra; in Europe it grew through Greek and medieval teachers. The four classic lines and the four hand types are common to most schools, though each school reads the details differently.

Nothing here is measured from a photo. You choose the description that fits your own hand. The line called the life line says nothing about how long you will live, a common mistake. There is no scientific evidence that the lines of the hand describe character or future.
