PALMISTRY - ASTRO-PALMISTRY An attempt to relate the parts of the human hand to the twelve signs of the zodiac. The red patch (marked with the sigil for Aries) represents the thumb, the following colours, in clockwise order represent the fingers, the silver area represents the percussion, or Mount of the Moon, and the green represents the Mount of Venus. The blue area are the roots (or finger mounts, ruled by Libra). The four lines represent Life, Fate, Head and Heart. A further key to the correspondences is available, in colour. The system was proposed by F. Gettings in The Hand and the Horoscope, 1973.
