Count Louis Hamon, better known as ‘Cheiro’ is regarded as the most successful palmist, numerologist, and astrologer of this century. He was seriously initiated into the art of fortune telling when he came to India and lived with the Joshi family in Bombay. He was one of the first to translate and interpret in English the Hindu works of palmistry. Thereafter starting his practice and continuing his study and research he wrote remarkable books on palmistry, numerology and astrology in English.
