First, the palm is divided into three parts representing the three worlds, material, intellectual, and Divine, in the same manner as the thumb and fingers are. That part of the hand including the mounts of Vennus and the Moon up to the Headline (see PlateIX), represents the animal nature or material world; that space between the Head line and the Heart line including the mount of Mars, represents the intellectual world or reasoning powers; whilst that portion above the Heart line to the roots of the fingers indicates the extent of the moral and intuitive powers, or the influence of the divine world upon our nature. Thus we see that a generalisation of the character is arrived at by a single glance at the hand.
