Predict Future Client Fortune Tellers Special Fortune Telling Tools Palm

"Fortune-tellers" (people who predict the future) use many tools to predict the future. The simplest reading is probably "palm reading," where they look at the lines on one's "palm" (the flat, inside part of one's hand) to predict the future. The length of different lines has different meanings. For example, the "palm reader" might talk about the client having a short "love line" or a long "life line."

Other fortune-tellers use "tarot cards" to predict the future. They usually lay the cards "face-down" (with the image facing the table, so that it cannot be seen) in front of the client, and the client turns them over one at a time, following the fortune-teller's instructions. The fortune-teller "interprets" (understands the meaning in a particular way) each card. There are cards for Death, The Fool, the Lovers, Strength, and many other "concepts" (ideas).

Some fortune-tellers use a "crystal ball" to "divine" (predict) the future. A crystal ball is a "transparent" (clear) or "translucent" (allowing light through) "globe" (a round shape, like a ball) that sits on a small stand. A fortune-teller tells clients that he or she can look into the crystal ball, see images, and interpret them for the client, providing information about the future or helping the client make an important decision.

Finally, some fortune-tellers use "numerology" to predict the future. Numerology is the study of numbers, their special meanings, and their special relationships with each other. "Numerologists" may interpret special meanings on certain dates and times, such as 11:11 on November 11, 2011. Or they may find importance in the "serial numbers" (unique numbers) on "currency" (paper money).

There are many other fortune-telling tools, but the ones described above are some of the most familiar ones in the United States.
