who thinks of palmistry (the art of reading palms) imagine a gypsy. But the origin is much more remote: the practice began more than 4,000 years ago, according to manuscripts found in Egypt, India and China. The technique survives to this day as one of the most fascinating – and easy. After all, you only need your own hand (the one you use to write) to try to understand what will happen throughout your life. And the interpretation evolves over time, as new lines emerge or old ones deepen. Discover, below, the meaning of the main creases. (The little arrows indicate the reading direction of the line.)
