The short answer
Most palm readers today read your dominant hand, the one you use for writing, because it shows what you are making of your life now. The old Indian rule of right hand for men and left hand for women is still followed by some, but it is not the only way.
The short answer
Read your dominant hand, the one you use for writing. If you are left-handed, that is your left hand.
Your other hand is read as what you started with. Comparing the two shows how much you have changed.
Right hand for men, left hand for women?
Traditional Indian palmistry often read the right hand for men and the left hand for women. You will still hear this from family and many pandits.
Modern readers, in India and elsewhere, mostly use the dominant hand for everyone. The idea is simple: the hand you use most is shaped most by your choices. We use the dominant hand for men and women alike.
What if both hands look different?
That is normal. Lines on the two hands are rarely the same.
A big difference is read as having changed a lot from where you started, through your work, your choices or where you live. Like all of palmistry, this is a tradition, not a scientific test of character or the future.
Can I read both hands?
Yes. A reader may look at both and compare them. For a single reading, the dominant hand is the one that matters most.
For a photo reading, one clear photo of your dominant hand is enough.
Frequently asked questions
Which hand is read for a female?
Your dominant hand, the one you use for writing, the same as for a male. The old left-hand rule for women is a tradition some still follow.
I use both hands equally. Which one should I use?
Use the hand you write with. If that is truly both, use your right hand.
Does it matter which side the thumb is on in my photo?
No. Lines are read in your own hand's direction.
