Chiromancy is the art of describing the personality and predicting the fate of an individual through the study of the palm of his hand. Chiromancy, universally considered a pseudoscience, is divided into two main disciplines: chirology, which deals with the study of the lines of the palm, and chirognomy, which deals with the study of the shape of the hand. There are many different interpretations of hand lines in different schools of palmistry, and modern palmists often combine traditional fortune-telling techniques with psychology, holistic medicine, and other methods of divination.
