About the author

Cheiro was a pseudonym for William John Warner, (November 1, 1866 - October 8, 1936) who was an Irish astrologer and colorful occult figure of the early 20th century. His sobriquet, Cheiro, derives from the word cheiromancy, meaning palmistry. He was a self-described clairvoyant who taught palmistry, astrology, and Chaldean numerology. During his career, he was celebrated for using these forms of divination to make personal predictions for famous clients and to foresee world events.

I love Cheiro as a writer more than for his extraordinary knowledge in Astrology. I must say, this book covered quite a lot on palm-reading. I know the basic of the same, and now I am on my way learning more about the subject.

For me my actions define me in this lifetime. Palm history is another tool. It can be used to get some perspectives with experience. A in accurate tool.

I am : versatile with everything, but will not be good at anything unless I apply myself to it, I should think before announce any final conclusions, especially if I am a doctor. Poor health, possibly die before my time and my marriage line sucks as hell.
