Biography
Irish author, occultist, astrologer, numerologist and palmist, one of the most noted in history. His sobriquet, Cheiro, derives from the word cheiromancy, meaning palmistry. He learned to read palms from his mother when he was 11 and later added a Chaldean system of numbers to his numerology skills. He read for the world's great (including Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde), taking at least 20 clients a day, some 6,000 a year, about a third of whom did not pay for their services. Cheiro died at 1:05 AM on 8 October 1936 in Hollywood, California at age 69.
