Palmistry describes tendencies, not fate. Lines change over time, and the life line says nothing about lifespan.
About this tool
About the guided palm reading
Palmistry, or hasta rekha shastra, reads character and tendencies from the shape of the hand, its lines and its mounts. Rather than guessing from a photo, this tool asks you ten illustrated questions about your own palm: its shape, the heart, head, life, fate and sun lines, the most prominent mount, the relationship lines and how far your thumb bends.
Hold your writing hand under good light. Palmists treat it as the record of the life you have made, and the other hand as your starting point. Each question shows a diagram for every option, so you match what you see rather than judge a line’s meaning yourself. The life line is read for vitality and outlook, never for lifespan.

How Taradisha works it out
- Your answers, not a photo
- The reading comes only from the options you choose. The photo is there for you to look at; it is not analysed and never leaves your device.
- Hand types
- The four hand types (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) follow Fred Gettings: a square or long palm, combined with short or long fingers measured against it.
- Lines and mounts
- The meanings behind each option come from Cheiro’s Language of the Hand (1894) and William Benham’s Laws of Scientific Hand Reading (1900), the two classic manuals of Western palmistry.
- Tendencies, not fate
- The readings describe tendencies to reflect on, in the words of the classical books, rather than events to expect.
Questions about palmistry
Does the tool read my palm from a photo?
No. The photo is optional and only sits beside the questions so you can compare; it is not analysed or uploaded. Your reading comes from your answers to the ten questions.
Which hand should I read?
The one you write with comes first. The other hand is traditionally read for inborn traits, and the tool’s first question asks which of your hands is dominant.
Does the life line show lifespan?
No. In palmistry the life line describes vitality, energy and outlook. Its length says nothing about lifespan, and nothing on Taradisha predicts it.
What do the relationship lines mean?
These short lines on the edge of the palm below the little finger are traditionally called marriage lines. Palmists link them with significant bonds, which can include close friendships, not with a count of marriages or a date.
Is palmistry a science?
No. It is a traditional practice. The readings here describe tendencies as the classical palmistry books do, for reflection, and are no basis for decisions about health, money or relationships.
