The specific hand used in palmistry (a part of astrology) depends on the individual's gender, according to the reference.
Palmistry and Hand Interpretation
Palmistry involves interpreting lines, shapes, and other features on the hand. Different hands hold different meanings according to tradition. The reference information provides an explanation for the hand that should be used for each sex:
Hand Meanings
Gender | Hand for Birth Traits | Hand for Life Accumulation |
---|---|---|
Women | Right Hand | Left Hand |
Men | Left Hand | Right Hand |
- For women: the right hand is believed to represent their innate personality and potential, what they were born with. The left hand is thought to represent what they have accumulated throughout their life. This includes experiences, changes and lessons.
- For men: the left hand is considered their birth hand, while the right hand is seen to show what has been shaped by life.
Understanding the Interpretation
This means if you are interested in seeing what your personality was at birth, women should look at their right hand and men should look at their left hand. If you are wanting to see how your experiences throughout your life have changed your path, then women should look at their left hand and men should look at their right hand.
In summary, there isn't one hand for everyone in palmistry. The most accurate interpretation is gender-dependent.
