But the answers are there! And following a simple palmistry (aka palm reading) guide on how to read palms is a great way to uncover them.
By definition, palmistry, "or chiromancy (also spelled cheiromancy; from Greek kheir (χεῖρ, ός; 'hand') and manteia (μαντεία, ας; 'divination'), is the claim of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as chirology, or in popular culture as palm reading. The practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations. Those who practice chiromancy are generally called palmists, hand readers, hand analysts, or chirologists."
Reading palms and palmistry lines allows you to learn a wide variety of details about people.

Here's a quick palmistry guide on how to read what the elemental shape of your hands can reveal about your greatest personal strengths and weaknesses.
1. Earth hand shape
People with earth-shaped hands have short fingers and square palms, meaning their palm is nearly the same size on all four sides.
Strengths: When you're at your best, your personal strengths are that you're stable, routine, and active.
Weaknesses: At your worst, you can be a bit stubborn and hard to deal with. You tend to get rather fixated on your own point of view, and you may struggle to see things from someone else's perspective.
2. Fire hand shape
People with fire-shaped hands have short fingers and rectangular palms.
Strengths: If this is your hand shape, you’re very much a go-getter. You’re dynamic and passionate!
Weaknesses: You're easily bored due to your short attention span, so your enthusiasm and drive may be short-lived. Your mind has a tendency to wander all over the place if you’re not careful!
3. Water hand shape
People with water-shaped hands have long fingers and rectangular palms.
Strengths: If this is you, you’re quite adaptable to new situations. You can be rather intuitive, and your compassion knows no bounds.
Weaknesses: You likely struggle to make decisions or stick to plans, which means you can appear flaky or wishy-washy without meaning to.
4. Air hand shape
People with air-shaped hands have long fingers and square palms.
Strengths: You’re likely an incredibly smart person. You’re curious about the world, and you can be very thoughtful.
Weaknesses: You occasionally come off as a know-it-all, and may be a touch unrealistic at times. When you’re feeling superior, you’re hard for others to relate to!
Your hands hold many secrets about who you really are. Once you understand the basics of palm reading, it's easy to reveal them all. It's just a matter of knowing what to look for!
