Can hand reading see into the future? Can Palmistry tell you what will happen to you? Is Palmistry only about predictions?
The truth is that the palm does not lay out a fixed destiny for anyone. Your Character is your Destiny. If the hand shows some future trends, it is based on the behaviour, attitudes and character of the person the way he/she is today. If the person changes, so does the future. Significant changes in character usually happen due to conscious effort or due to the impact of momentous events. The movie "Back to the Future," though simplistic, encapsulates what I am saying.
If people believe that palmistry is about predictions, this is because this was what traditional palmistry was about in ancient times and the middle ages! Palmistry has been about mysterious signs, lines and symbols all predicting dire things but every single line or so-called sign has to be read in conjunction with the rest of the hand. Would we accept the knowledge of the middle ages in any other field? Would we accept that the earth was flat? Or that diseases can be cured by blood-letting? Of course not! So let us celebrate modern hand-readers like say Johnny Fincham or Richard Unger and realise that the knowledge base in the field of palmistry is growing by leaps and bounds.

One must take into account that in ancient times, future possibilities were few. Lives were simpler and shorter, professions limited, marriage was forever, and re-locating and immigration very rare indeed. Thus, any prediction had a far greater success rate than it would be today. In modern times, it is almost impossible to predict the exact future with any accuracy. But why is it even necessary to know the exact future?
It is one's insecurity which makes one crave reassurance about future events, so be suspicious of any hand reader or palmist who promises you an unchanging future.
Modern palmists now call themselves chirologists or hand-readers to distinguish themselves from the ancient predictive type of palmistry, but it doesn't matter whether you are a physicist of the 16th century or the 21st century, you are still a physicist. It is the same with palmists or hand-readers.
People have questioned me exhaustively on this aspect, at times on email, and at times on this blog. In this post I will answer the frequently asked questions (FAQ's) on this most intriguing aspect of palmistry – Predicting the Future...
