Palmistry is one of the oldest, yet reliable means of determining the future and personality of someone. Palmistry uses the shape of a person's hands among many other things to determine what the future will be like for the person in question. While every person has different personalities and traits, there are 5 general categories that relate to all of us.
Chinese Palmistry, which is one of the oldest methods of palmistry starts with defining the shape of a person's hands and then matching it with the 5 elements present on Earth. These 5 elements include Water, Earth, Fire, Metal and Wood.
