Palm reading online,from a photo of your hands.

Palmistry, or hast rekha shastra in the Indian tradition, reads character and life tendencies from the hands: the lines that cross the palm, the raised mounts beneath each finger, and the shape of the hand and fingers. It is practised in India, China and Europe, and its classic texts describe what each feature is said to mean.

A traditional palm reading depends on the reader's eye. askOmm takes a different route: it measures the features in your own photographs first, then looks up what the classic books say about each measured feature, and shows you the source.

The life line curves around the base of the thumb. In palmistry it is read for vitality and the major changes in a life, not its length.

The heart line runs across the top of the palm, below the fingers, and is read for emotions and relationships.

The head line crosses the middle of the palm and is read for how you think, decide and learn.

The fate line, when present, runs up the centre of the palm towards the middle finger and is read for career and direction. Not every hand has one, and its absence is a reading in itself.

The mounts (of Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Moon and Mars) and the fingers complete the picture. askOmm measures each of them where your photos show it clearly.

Palmists read both. A common rule is that the hand you do not write with shows what you were born with, and the hand you write with shows what you have made of it. That is why askOmm asks for a photograph of each palm and which hand you write with, and reads them side by side.

On askOmm, palmistry is one of six engines. Once your palms are read, they also inform your answers in the Decision Maker and askOmm AI, alongside your Vedic birth chart, KP, Jaimini, Lal Kitab and numerology.
