Seven classical hand shapes, four great lines, and the marks that shift their meaning — one lesson at a time.
Your journey begins here. (0/45 lessons)
Hastarekha-Bichar's seven-type system for reading overall hand shape and temperament — a different, older taxonomy from the four-element hand shapes in your free reading.
The seven raised areas of the palm, each named for a planet, each carrying its own temperament.
What each finger and nail shape traditionally says.
Life, Head, Heart, and Fate — the four lines every palm-reading tradition treats as primary, read here through both the classical English sources and Hastarekha-Bichar.
Sun, Health, Marriage, Children, and other lines Hastarekha-Bichar reads alongside the four majors.
Crosses, stars, islands, and other small marks that modify whatever line or mount they sit on.
Cheiro's classical technique for dating events on the Life Line and Fate Line by marking each off in seven-year steps — a standalone chapter, since it's a technique that spans two lines rather than a property of just one.
