The ability to read palms derives from a science known as ‘chiromancy’ or ‘palmistry.’

Chiromancy is an art that dates back thousands of years to Hindu astrology and Chinese storytelling. This practice then spread to Asia and Europe and was even used by Alexander the Great to judge his soldiers’ characters.
In reality, about 2,500 years ago, Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, described palm reading in his piece of writing, De Historia Animalium (History of Animals). He believed that ‘lines are not written into the human hand without cause.’
Lasting love and ambitions
According to this science, if the lines in the palm of your hand form the letter M (we’ll give you time to check), then probably the following describes you.
You’re probably a very insightful person and have an acute sense of business and enterprise. Specialists in palm-reading believe, ‘people with such a sign are generally of strong enterprise and ambitious goals.
You tend to work hard on your dreams and never give up without winning. Thus, the energy and time that you put into your projects allow you to earn money without having to go through too much trouble.
The M sign on the palm also suggests good luck for money and love relationships. If you’re a woman, your sense of intuition is even more heightened. There’s no point trying to lie to people who have the letter M in the palm of their hand because they’ll very quickly realise.
Read between the lines
The meanings of different lines lie in their length, depth, and curvature. The letter M occurs when the major lines on your palm, known as the heart, head, and lifelines, are aligned. The lines of your palms form the narrative of your life.
Before trying to locate the lines, we must keep track of where each line starts, ends, and intersects.
Heartline: The first line, known as the love line, either starts under the index finger, which denotes that you will be satisfied in your relationships; or it begins under the middle finger, specifying your restlessness.
Headline: This is the line that appears in the middle of the palm and right under the heart line. If the line is straight, it signifies a traditional method of thinking; whereas, a wavy line involves a more contemporary thought process.
Lifeline: This line appears right next to the thumb finger. More than mortality, it predicts the journey of your life. A longer lifeline means you will be a tad bit more dependent on others, than those with shorter lines.
Well, all these are just generalizations over the estimated journey of one’s life. Often, you will observe the shallow lines changing its course. So with or without an ‘M,’ you will still have a thriving life.
