Palmistry — Lines & Mounts
A descriptive look-up for the four major lines and the seven planetary mounts. Select what you observe on your own palm and read the traditional symbolic correspondence.
A right hand, palm up, so the thumb falls on the left. Schematic, not a photograph of anyone's hand — real lines wander. This is the same drawing shown on The Hand.
The Four Major Lines
Four lines nearly every hand carries. Pick one, then tell the page how it looks on your own palm — deep (cut clearly into the palm, easy to trace with a fingertip), faint (there, but shallow or fine — you have to tilt your hand to the light) or broken (interrupted — it stops and starts again, or another line crosses it). These are registers, not scores.
Heart Line
The uppermost horizontal line, closest to the fingers. Governs emotional expression, capacity for intimacy, and how love is given and received.
The Seven Planetary Mounts
A mount is a fleshy pad on the palm. Traditional palmistry names all seven after the seven classical planets — and in this system each of those seven planets already carries one of the seven Double letters of the Hebrew alphabet and one station of the Tree of Life. So a raised mount is not a loose analogy here: it points at a specific letter you can go and read. Tap one.
The seven mounts and the seven classical planets are the same seven used in the Astrology Multi-System engine and on the Tree of Life. Where symbols pile up, the Cheat Sheet holds planet, letter, sefirah and day in one table.
