The Map of the Hand: Lines, Mounts and Planetary Signs
Names and planetary symbols cover a large open palm. Heart, head, life and fate lines cross the hand while smaller labels divide the fingers and mounts. The diagram supplies the manual’s vocabulary for reading the hand within its historical system of cheiromancy.
