StellarPalmistry examines lines and shapes of the hand to offer predictions about personality and destiny. Physiognomy claims that the human face reveals character and morality but has been widely discredited for promoting stereotypes and pseudoscience. Ceromancy interprets shapes formed by melted wax. Tasseography reads tea leaves or coffee grounds for symbolic meaning. Cartomancy uses playing cards or tarot to reveal possible futures.
