What is Vedic Palmistry?

Palmistry or chiromancy (also spelled cheiromancy, Greek cheir (χειρ), “hand”; manteia (μαντεία), “divination”), is the art of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as palm reading, or chirology. Palmistry is also known as the art and science of self-discovery. Fundamental to Vedic palmistry is that as we continuously change and evolve, so do the hand lines on our palms.

By studying both hands – the non-dominant hand (past) and dominant hand (present) – we can recognize the traceable link between our past behavioral patterns and our present personality, thoughts and experiences. With this understanding, we can shape our future in a constructive, fulfilling way, making positive choices regarding our work, our dealings with people around us, and many other important aspects of life.

Vedic palmistry known as Hast Jyotish traces its roots back to Vedic Astrology, its sister science.
