A palm reader claims that they can determine whether you will be rich or poor by examining just your thumb

A TikTok video has sparked controversy on social media, suggesting that the length of your thumb can indicate whether you're likely to be wealthy or struggle financially. The video, shared by the UK-based palm reading account @palmistbabauk, has been viewed over 1.2 million times and has garnered 225,000 followers. It focuses on a small detail in the crease at the base of your thumb. The video says that the shape of your thumb and palm is essential for your financial future. If the line resembles cross-hatching, like stitches, it means that you and your spouse are not meant to be wealthy. However, if you see a pattern of ovals connected, it is said to be a sign that you and your partner are destined for wealth. The post was widely shared and viewed thousands of times. However, many viewers quickly pointed out that there was no scientific evidence to support the theory. A person knowledgeable about Chinese culture recently shared information about the shape and length of one's palm lines, explaining how they can reveal aspects of one's personality, health, and career. In her first video, Min explained what the line on your palm, known as your 'heart line' can tell you about your love life. The heart line, or love line, starts from the base of the little finger and runs across the palm towards the middle or forefinger. If you're short, you're likely a 'powerful and stubborn person' – that's what Min said. She also said that people with short heart lines are often 'spontaneous' but have a 'rocky' love life because they are often 'isolated by others'. Next, she explained what it's like to have a long heartline when it comes to love. She also said that if your palm lines are very long and reach opposite sides of the palm, it means you are very independent. This means you'd rather be on your own than settle for being with other people. Min also said that people with long love lines will find it very hard. Min added that a long heart line shows that you're a very loyal and dedicated partner. You often feel emotions more intensely, which can make you more vulnerable to hurt in your relationships. The expert on Chinese culture then discussed how your hands can reveal aspects of your personality and career. "To find it, just look between your thumb and forefinger and follow the line towards the side of your palm," Min explained. She also said that the headline is above the 'heart line.' "The headline shows how wise you are, what you believe, and how clever you are," she revealed. If your headline is long, it means you are a thoughtful, rational, and attentive person. If you have a short headline, it can be hard to make decisions, and you might rush into things.
