Palms are Attached

Perhaps the most significant teaching of Chiromancy, or Palm Reading, is that the palm is connected to the rest of the body; starting with the rest of the hand. A good palm reader will shake your hand to see what your handshake is like. The reader will also, sometimes before looking at your palm, ask you to make a loose fist, and to rotate your hand as far as you can in both directions.
Before we discuss what all that means, let me mention that most of us have two hands. Often you will hear or read that the "Right Hand is Potential" and the "Left is History," or some variation of that idea. The truth of the matter is that all palmists will agree that there is a difference between the palms, and even between the hands; you yourself can prove this by looking at your own hands. Without even looking at yours, I can bet that they are not mirror images of each other.
First, let's talk about Right and Left, unlike in politics, in palmistry Right and Left are not extremely significant; more significant are Dominant and Lesser. You use one hand more than the other. That hand is the Dominant hand. The other is the Lesser hand by default, so to speak. Don’t worry about it; everyone's hands are like that including those who claim to be ambidextrous.
