Palmistry, or chiromancy, is the ancient practice of reading the lines and shapes on the hands to reveal a person’s character or future. Many cultures believe that specific palm markings can indicate wealth, luck, or personality traits.One example often shared in palmistry illustrations is a crossed line near the thumb. In some interpretations, this marking is linked to financial struggles and labeled as “Poor.”Though palmistry lacks scientific support, it remains a popular form of spiritual insight and self-reflection around the world.
