What is Palm Reading?

Palm Reading, or Chiromancy or Palmistry is an ancient study; almost as old as astrology. We are always looking at each other's body characteristics. We try to read a person's abilities in every nuance of build.
Humans have always looked at each other's hands as a part of this "sizing up" process. Even from afar, you notice a person's hands. You notice if that person has long fingers or short fingers; fat fingers or thin. You notice it all; but try as you might to guess, you don't know what it means.
Palm reading is actually more than the reading of the palm. According to the palmists, you can tell a lot from a person's hand, and that isn't limited to the parlor game knowledge of "oh I am so sorry that you have such a short lifeline."
People have always been fascinated by the human body, and have always attempted to divine the most information about a person by checking the minutest details of the human body. Some of the observations about human physical characteristics can help determine a person's probability of success in certain endeavors; come of the observations lead to self-fulfilling prophecies about a person's future career, or success.

Other aspects of Chiromancy

If we take into account the aspects of chi, or Daoist (Taoist) teachings, you have to take into account the "meridians" of chi, or body force. The teachings of the Dao include fourteen "meridians" or major lines of force, which move throughout the body.

The Hand
The human hand is composed of twenty-seven bones. There are eight carpal bones which make up the wrist. There are five metacarpal bones which compose the palm, and the fingers are made up of fourteen phalange bones.
