Western palmistry
Rooted in European and ancient Greek traditions, it reads the major lines, the raised mounts of the palm, and the shape of the hand.

Grade school
A seed of curiosity
One of my earliest encounters with palmistry was during my fifth-grade years, when my Tita first introduced me to the art of palm reading. At that time, I didn’t fully understand its meaning or depth, but something about the idea of understanding a person through the lines of their hands fascinated me. It planted a seed of curiosity that would eventually grow into something much greater.

College
A personal experiment
Years later, during my college days, I began studying palmistry more seriously. What initially started as curiosity gradually became a personal experiment. I began reading the palms of people around me, observing their lines, patterns, and characteristics, and exploring how these could offer insights into their personalities, experiences, and life journeys.
What followed was something I never quite expected.

Awakening
A deeper transformation
As I continued exploring palmistry, I entered a deeper period of personal transformation through my spiritual awakening and ancestral healing journey. These experiences fundamentally changed the way I perceived palmistry. What once appeared to be an interesting practice became a profound tool for self-understanding, reflection, and personal discovery.

2018
Beyond tradition
In 2018, as my spiritual awareness and intuitive abilities began to unfold, I started seeing palmistry beyond its traditional interpretations. I became increasingly interested in the connection between our inner world and outer experiences, and how the hands could serve as a symbolic map of our tendencies, patterns, strengths, challenges, and untapped potential.

Today
Understanding what shapes us
For me, palmistry is not simply about predicting what lies ahead. It is about understanding what has shaped us, recognizing where we stand, and discovering what we can consciously create moving forward.
What began as a seed of curiosity in childhood has grown into a lifelong journey of discovery, transformation, and purpose.

Three traditions, one reading
The traditions I draw on.
In each reading, I use what you need from one tradition, or bring all three together.
Vedic palmistry
From India’s Samudrika Shastra tradition, it is often read alongside Vedic astrology, linking areas of the hand with the planets.
Chinese palmistry
Often associated with the five elements, it considers hand shape and balance, and is traditionally read together with other features.
