Palm reading
Look at your palm.
It is one of three.
Pick the closest one. No birth date yet.
Not sure? Width is the line across the base of your fingers. Length runs from the wrist crease to the base of your middle finger.
Two numbers, one comparison
You do not need to measure to the millimetre. What matters is which is clearly bigger, not the exact ratio.
- Width
- Across the base of the fingers — index finger root to little finger root.Not the widest part of the palm, and not the thumb side.
- Length
- From the middle of the wrist crease to the base of the middle finger.Fingers excluded. Long fingers do not mean a long palm.
Judgewidth > length → wide · close → square · length > width → long
If it lands between two, pick the closer one. The categories are coarse on purpose.
What actually differs
Wide palm
A squarish palm, relatively short fingers, solid through the middle. From a distance it reads as a block, not a strip.
width > lengthSquare palm
Width and length are close, which makes it the easiest to misjudge — the gap is small.
width ≈ lengthLong palm
A longer palm with relatively slender fingers. It is the palm you measure, not the fingers.
length > widthThings you might be wondering
Is this palmistry?
No. It does one thing: it sorts the ratio of palm width to palm length into three bands. Traditional palmistry is far more involved and is not in scope here.
Does my palm shape decide my chart?
It does not. The palm type is a way into the chart, a framing device. The chart is still calculated from your birth date and hour alone. The palm shape is not an input.
Why not just ask for my birth date?
Because plenty of people do not remember their birth hour. Looking at your palm needs no personal data and no paperwork.
What if I land between two types?
Pick the closer one. The split is coarse — a few millimetres does not change the answer.
Do you store my palm type or birth date?
No. There is no account and nothing is saved. Close the page and it is gone.
