Palmistry: Palm Reading from a Photo

Palmistry is divination by the hand: it reads the lines, the shape and the mounts of the palm by tradition. The main lines are four: the heart, head, life and fate lines. For a reading by photo, you photograph your open palm in daylight, and the reading describes each of the four lines. The life line does not show how long a person will live.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of photo should I upload?

An open palm, in daylight, with clearly visible lines and no harsh shadows. Photograph the hand you write with. If the photo shows no palm, you get a request for a new photo in place of a reading.

Is the photo of my palm kept?

No. The photo is processed only for the reading and is not stored.

Is it free and do I need to register?

Yes, completely free and no sign-up. You just upload a photo and get the reading instantly.

Does palmistry predict the future?

Not as fact. Palmistry is a tradition of self-observation: the reading describes what it links to the lines of your palm, without predicting events.
