The Complete Palmistry Reference

What's inside

• Major Lines in Full Detail Every significant variation of the Heart, Head, Life, and Fate lines — branches, breaks, islands, chains, forks, and endings — with traditional associations from Western, Indian, and Chinese sources.
• All Eight Mounts Complete coverage of each mount: Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo, Mercury, Venus, Luna, and both mounts of Mars — with dominant, deficient, and combined readings.
• Minor Lines and Markings The Sun line, Mercury line, Girdle of Venus, Marriage lines, Travel lines, Simian line — plus crosses, stars, triangles, grilles, and islands explained and sourced.
• Hand Shape Visual Guide The four elemental hand types with distinguishing characteristics, how to identify them in practice, and what combinations look like.
• Finger and Thumb Analysis Finger length, shape, and phalange readings — including the Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo, and Mercury fingers — plus thumb angle, flexibility, and section proportions.
• Cross-Tradition Comparison Tables Side-by-side summaries of how Western, Indian, and Chinese palmistry interpret the major features differently — honest about disagreement rather than synthesising false consensus.
• Active and Passive Hand Guide A practical guide to reading both hands in combination, including what to look for when the lines differ significantly between dominant and non-dominant hand.
• Practice Reading Checklist A structured sequence for working through a full hand reading from first observation to synthesis — with an extended observation sheet for recording your findings.

Free guide vs. complete reference

Best for students who have moved past the basics — who can identify the major lines and want a thorough desk reference for the detail work: variations, combinations, and the occasional cross-tradition disagreement that the overview articles don't have room to cover.
