Palmistry guides

A palm answers more than one question, and the questions have an order. These seven guides are the ones already on Astral Daily. Begin with the hand you are holding, then the outline, the long creases, the pads, the fingertips, the thumb, and only then the small marks. A square palm does not tell you the heart line. A star does not tell you the shape of the hand.

They are character notes you can check against a kitchen or an office. When you want those names drawn on your own palm, take one photo. The map is drawn on your phone, and the photo stays on your device. It is never uploaded. The free look is the heart line. The Palm Card, the full reading, unlocks for a one-time $2.99.

Read them in this order

Any page can stand on its own. This sequence keeps a later note from answering a question you have not asked yet.

1. Which hand

Start with the palm you would use to sign a lease, so the later notes land on the hand you mean. The guide says how the writing hand and the quieter hand are read, what changes if you are left-handed, what to do when the two palms disagree, and how to photograph a palm in daylight with the flash off.

Which hand to read

2. Hand shape

The outline comes before any crease. A square or rectangular palm, set against short or long fingers, is the Earth, Air, Fire, or Water hand, and that shape is the setting for the lines rather than a reading of its own.

3. Palm lines

The long creases are the heart, head, life, fate, and sun lines, and they are the lines the palm card names. The guide shows where each sits, what length, curve, and breaks have been read to mean, and why a fate line or a sun line is often simply absent.

4. Palm mounts

The mounts are the pads, read after the lines because a crease is easier to place once you know which pad it runs toward. Venus sits at the thumb, Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo, and Mercury sit under the fingers, the Moon sits on the outer palm, and Mars keeps its two traditional seats, with a planet and a sign for each mount.

5. Finger shapes

Finger length was part of the hand shape. The tips are a different question: pointed, conic, square, or spatulate, judged on the last segment, and most hands are a mix rather than one shape four times.

6. Thumb shapes

The thumb is not a fifth fingertip, so it waits until the fingers have been named. The guide covers a clubbed, conic, or spatulate tip, whether the thumb sits high or low, and whether it bends back or stays stiff.

7. Palm marks

Marks are last because they qualify a place you have already found. A star, cross, island, square, triangle, grille, chain, or the bracelets at the wrist is a small figure on a line or a mount, and a freckle or a scar is left off the reading.

Then photograph the palm

The guides are the vocabulary. The palm card draws the heart, head, life, fate, and sun lines on a photograph of the hand you give it. The free look is the heart line. Unlocking the Palm Card is a one-time $2.99, and the photo never leaves your phone.
