Planetary Signs on the Palm
An open hand carries stars, planetary symbols and numbered markings along the fingers and palm. The large sun-like sign beneath the ring finger is one of several celestial emblems superimposed on the anatomy of the hand. The diagram connects the book’s treatments of astrology and chiromancy, making their shared symbolic vocabulary visible on a single palm.
