What each hand represents
Left = Innate (born tendencies)
The personality, talents, and family inheritance you were born with. The map of who you 'should' become.
Right = Acquired (current you)
Who you have become through experience, choices, and environment. A snapshot of you now.
The difference = your trajectory
Small difference → you're living close to your innate path. Big difference → environment shaped you, or you chose a different direction. Both are meaningful.
FAQ
Should I read the dominant hand only?
Western palmistry often says yes. Ma-Yi palmistry says no — both hands together give the fuller picture: innate (left) vs acquired (right).
What if my hands look very different?
That's a meaningful signal, not a bad one. It means you have actively shaped your life rather than passively followed your innate template. Read the synthesis.
How many free comparisons per day?
3 per day, free, no sign-up. Two-hand comparison uses more AI compute than single-hand quick scan, so the daily limit is lower. Pro unlimited.
Does the order matter?
Yes. Left first, right second. The app's upload slots are arranged left → right. Wrong order will reverse the reading.
