Related terms
- Anguli (fingers)The fingers, each belonging to a graha: the index to Jupiter, the middle to Saturn, the ring to the Sun and the little finger to Mercury. The thumb is read on its own: its top shows will, its middle logic and its base love and vitality.
- Parvata (mount)A fleshy pad of the palm, named for a graha: Jupiter under the index finger, Saturn under the middle, the Sun under the ring, Mercury under the little finger, Venus at the base of the thumb, the Moon on the outer edge, and two of Mars. Full and firm gives the graha's qualities; flat shows them lacking, overdeveloped in excess.
- Earth, air, fire and water handsThe modern way of sorting hands by palm and fingers: earth, a square palm with short fingers; air, a square palm with long fingers; fire, a long palm with short fingers; water, a long palm with long fingers. Cheiro used seven types instead.
- Plain of Mars and the quadrangleThe plain of Mars is the centre of the palm, between the two Mars mounts. The quadrangle is the space between the head and heart lines: wide shows a broad mind, narrow caution.
- Dominant handThe hand you write with. It shows what a person has made of their life; the other hand shows inborn tendencies. A reader looks at both and leans on the dominant one.
- Life lineThe line that curves round the mount of Venus. It shows vitality and the way life is lived, never how long: a short life line does not mean a short life.
