Chirology is a diagnostic approach that sees the palm as a central tool for human research. It is based on a set of parameters transmitted from the body and mind to the palms of the hands. This approach connects ancient knowledge with contemporary knowledge and offers a broad and in-depth view of man.
An ancient diagnostic method
Chirology is one of the oldest diagnostic methods in the world, providing insights into personality, motives and life processes. Through the analysis of the palm, it is possible to reveal the effects of the events that the person experienced in the near and distant past, to understand the way in which the person acts and to outline recommended directions of development that suit the person, regarding the future. Beyond that, diagnosticians can identify personal and health trends, and even aim to benefit potential health conditions.
There are many different chirological methods. The Chinese system treats the left hand as reflecting destiny in men and self-realization in women, and vice versa for the right hand. Unlike other approaches, the Chinese method does not see a transition between the hands, but treats them as two independent entities divided into 8 areas, each area having a different meaning. The Indian method focuses on the hills of the palm such as the Hill of Venus and the Hill of Mars, next to the thumb, which symbolize the "executive system". This approach combines with holistic chirology to create a balanced picture of the person. The Jewish (kabbalistic) system treats the hand as an energy center, while dividing it into areas corresponding to the kabbalistic sefirot such as kindness, valor, wisdom and intelligence. The method emphasizes the free choice of the person and downplays the significance of fate. The Western method combines the various methods, with the claim being that there is a connection between the physical characteristics of the hand and a mental, personal and social state.
The sun, the moon and the approach to life
Dr. Arnold Holtzman developed the The psychodiagnostic chirology After being exposed to genetic diagnostic methods in the palm of the hand. He believed that if these methods prove themselves for physiological diagnosis, they can also be applied to mental and emotional aspects. His research, done in collaboration with Bar-Ilan University and Bens-Ziona Psychiatric Hospital, indicated an amazing correlation between the chirological findings and traditional psychiatric diagnoses. This method continues to develop and is used by psychologists and psychiatrists around the world.
The holistic chirology is not satisfied with the analysis of the palm alone, but combines data from body language, facial features, gait, handshake, and color theory. This approach makes it possible to diagnose the person as a whole, from a broader view of his life and personality.
The advantages of chirology are that it makes it possible to analyze a person's life, his experiences and the processes he went through that acted on his soul and thought without the person having to reveal his life story in words. In addition, chirology reads the data from the palm of the person's own hand, and is a powerful and profound tool for understanding the person in all its aspects - physical, emotional and spiritual. Through a combination of training processes it is possible not only to diagnose, but also to provide directions for personal development and growth, with a deep understanding of the relationship between the body, mind and spirit.

If we divide the hand along an imaginary line into two parts along the length, we will get half a hand with a hill in the thumb area, this is the hill of the sun which indicates, among other things, the connection to the outside world, the space of action and matter. The approach is practical and works towards results. The other half of the hand will show an elongated hill under the ring finger, the hill of the moon, which tells about sensitivities, intuition, the connection to the inner and spiritual world. The approach is mental and spiritual, oriented towards feelings and emotions. The head line begins on the practical side, above the hill of the sun, and the emotional line begins on the spiritual side, below the pinky, in the area of the hill of the moon.
the perpendicular line Along the palm is the line of work, career. People whose lives are dedicated to action and work will develop a deep line. People who work until a late age will open an especially long nest. In the picture you can see Donald Trump's right hand and Benjamin Netanyahu's left hand. Both have deep and meaningful lines of work.
The lines in the palm
life line Starts from the edge of the palm between the thumb and the finger and extends to the base of the thumb. It reflects a person's physical vitality and life energy. It also shows stability and strength of the back. The length of the life line does not predict longevity and when the line is short it can indicate the need to strengthen the back muscles.
the head line It starts from the edge of the palm between the thumb and the finger, and extends across the palm in the middle part - above the life line and below the heart line. The head line reveals a person's wisdom, his faith, his attitude, his ability to think, creativity, as well as his memory abilities, self-control and approach to life - positive or depressive.
heart line Also called the love line, it is above the line of the head starting from the edge of the hand under the little finger, running across the palm and ending under the middle finger or between the fingers. It usually shows a person's attitude towards love and the quality of love he has experienced in his life. The emotion can be complicated or simple, love flows in a smooth or complicated way, and lines that cross the heart line indicate heartbreaks and joys that the person has been through. The line also shows if the person has loved deep love in his life or not yet, if he surrenders to love or prefers to stop himself and not fall in love completely.

Sometimes the lines are connected, sometimes they are missing, and everything in the palm of the hand has meaning and importance, but it is worth knowing that the lines develop along the changes that the person goes through or chooses to go through out of a desire to improve, to praise his self-awareness, his behaviors and reactions and his social and emotional connections. When the line of the head and the line of the heart are connected to one line, it means that the person is completely engaged only in what interests him and does not pay attention to other things. 10 percent of the population has a connected line, and we can recommend them to learn to pay attention to others, to be attentive to the environment even if it is not the most interesting, it is important to create good communication in relationships.

The meaning of the shape of the palm
Other aspects of the palm such as the length and thickness of the fingers, the size of the base of the palm in relation to the fingers, the hills on the hand, the color of the skin and its degree of roughness, the thickness of the skin if it is thin or rough, and other parameters are also part of the picture that the hand gives of a person's personality. But there are disputes about its meaning. For example, long fingers indicate, according to one Torah, about wandering and lack of focus, and according to a second Torah, about punctuality and attention to detail. From the various methods it can be understood that interpreting the palm of the hand is important and therefore it is advisable to avoid negative statements and empower the person by referring to the qualities he should strengthen.
While the fingers show the social personality, the palm shows the attitude to reality, if the person prefers to be physically or mentally active, if his approach is sensitive or intellectual, if he is practical or theoretical.
A small palm - with small fingers is suitable for a person who will deal with details that require fine motor skills. Both in surgeons and in people dealing with finances you can see a small hand. The small hand is also suitable for people engaged in practical art, through the hands, such as potters, jewelers.
A small palm with fingers longer than the palm itself indicates people who act from an inner impulse without thinking about the consequences that will come after the act or the statement. You can also see such a palm in musicians who play out of inspiration. These people need a lot of time with themselves to think. When a person teaches himself or is educated to restrain the impulses, the long hand will be slightly closed, the fingers will have an inward tendency, as if closing.
A large palm with long fingers is by definition suitable for athletes, especially basketball players, as well as for people whose behavior is more balanced, and they go into action after planning and thinking.
A very soft palm can indicate weakness, difficulty finding an independent path and a tendency to follow strong people. The very soft hand is a hundred because it is easy to influence the person. But it is possible that the hand is soft due to improper nutrition.
A palm that is too hard usually indicates a person who is hard on himself and his surroundings. Has high and critical requirements. It is possible that this person suffers from energy blocks and fears that make it difficult for him to deal with changes, and to the outside he is seen as tough, inflexible and closed to criticism.
