  • My grandmother use to tell me to see own face in mirror after waking up. After reading Rickross's answer I guess she is an Advaitans. Lol

It has actually nothing to do with astrology (you originally tagged your question with it).

At various portions of our palms are present various Hindu Gods. That's why it's auspicious to see our palms immediately after waking up in the morning. The act is supposed to make the upcoming whole day fruitful, auspicious etc for us.

The Nitya Karma PujA PrakAsh Book (on pp 19) mentions the following sloka:

enter image description here

KarAgre vasate lakshmih karamadhye saraswati |
Karamule stitho brahmA prabhAte karadarshanam ||

...........

At the tips of the palms resides Lakshmi, at the middle Saraswati and at the base of the palms resides BrahmA, that's why we need to see our palms at early morning.

This sloka is actually from the Vishnu PurAna as shown in this answer.
