Hand Reading

Hand Reading

Chirognomy is a form of hand reading that studies the appearance, size and shape of the hand and fingers to determine the character, nature and personality of an individual. From this hand analysis a palmist can with some degree of accuracy predict the likely outcomes and future destiny of the individual. The elements of Air, Earth, Fire and Water categorise the different hand shapes. Look at your own hand to identify which element type you have. The length and shape of the palm in relation to the length of the fingers determines the elemental type. Is your palm oblong or square, are your fingers long or short?
