Signs in the Hand
Application of Astrology to Chirology

Introduction

Ancient palmists defined parts of the hand with the names of the planets.  Unfortunately, those ancient palmists were as confused as the ancient astrologers.  Both used Satan's mythology.  Satan named the planets after his demon gods.  Those definitions not only corrupted astrology but also corrupted palmistry.  If, however, the true Biblical definitions of the planets and signs are applied, the true picture of the hand emerges as the fulfillment of the astrological design.

The subject before us is difficult because Astrology and Chirology are two very different paradigms.  Should the astrological model of the hand be placed in a book of astrology or should it be placed in a book on chirology?  Wherever it is placed, it cannot be applied until both Astrology and Chirology are mastered.  Furthermore, both disciplines must be applied to formulate a true picture of an individual.  The big problem is the individual's volition.  A person can use his volition to oppose his own destiny, and he can overcome bad problems in life by making good decisions.

For the explanation of hand reading refer to Hands in Scripture.  Until Chirology is learned, it will not be possible to apply the astrological model of the hand presented here.  The illustration of the hand reveals that each finger has a meaning.  The mounts (raised knolls) of the hand are also identified with their meaning.  From these revelations of the parts of the hand, corresponding planets and signs of the Zodiac can be assigned.

Signs in the Hand

Note that in the astrological model of the hand, the Masculine Mount is symbolized by the Sun, and the Feminine Mount is symbolized by the Moon.  The Life Line is symbolized by the bow of Sagittarius.  The Life Line can symbolize the wall of a city protected by the army of Sagittarius.  A short Life Line can symbolize a breach in the city wall.  It can also symbolize subjective judgment from the subconscious (Feminine Mount) bleeding over into the mentality (Masculine Mount).  People with short Life Lines can make bad decisions for a marriage partner.

Applying the astrological model to a short Life Line leads to an even more interesting result.  When the Moon (Feminine Mount) blocks the light of the Sun (Masculine Mount), an eclipse occurs.  Thus, a short Life Line indicates the likelihood of Eclipse Testing in the Right Man - Right Woman relationship.^2,3   Eclipse Testing is what happened to Adam when his Right Woman sinned.  Only the Right Man and Right Woman can have Eclipse Testing.  Thus, analyzing a short Life Line in terms of the Sun and Moon, leads to the explanation of an eclipse associated with Right Man and Right Woman.

Application of Astrology to Chirology

Example of Einstein

Einstein had short fingers, which corresponds to a weakness in certain thought processes symbolized by the fingers (ref. Cognitive Model).  He had four planets in Pisces, which corresponds to the Mount of Evangelism at the base of the hand.  The great power of the four planets in Pisces corresponds to Einstein's long hand.  Because of his short fingers he developed mental models rather than relying upon empirical data.  This corresponds to a hand with power in the region of Pisces and weakness in the fingers.

In Einstein's Birth Chart, the Red Planet was in Capricornus, which symbolizes suffering in the flesh from sin, evil, and adultery.  Einstein was the consummate adulterer, who engaged in illicit relationships with the women in his periphery.  The Red Planet in Capricornus symbolizes the suffering from bad decisions in the Cosmic System.  Einstein had an illegitimate daughter, was divorced, and courted a Russian female spy.  In addition, a Line of Lasciviousness, which marked off the region of Capricornus in his hand.  The Line of Lasciviousness indicates the potential for becoming victim of the lust of the flesh with its corresponding suffering.

Einstein's Birth Chart had a Plow pointed at the Last Adam in Taurus, which is, indeed, a sign of the hidden power of mass/energy transformation (E = mc² ).  However, forgetting the sign of Taurus and focusing on the Last Adam at the point of the Plow leads to different meaning in Einstein's hand.  The Last Adam is on the Mount of Gemini in the hand.  This area includes the Marriage Lines and child lines.  A Plow symbolizes intensified suffering.  Einstein had an illegitimate daughter and other problems with adulterous relationships.

Other Examples

In one person's chart, a Plow pointed to the Moon.  There was also a black spot on the Mount of the Moon in the person's hand.  The black spot on the Mount of the Moon symbolized a sin that was not handled.  The person had an illegitimate child.  The person also had a red spot on the Mount of Gemini, which in the Birth Chart contained the propitious sign of the Morning Star (for Right Man) and the Savior (for Right Woman).  Thus, the red spot indicated suffering due to the breakdown of Marriage Culture in the Right Man - Right Woman relationship.

Another person with extra creases between phalanges in the fingers had a Catwalk in the Birth Chart.  Extra creases symbolize a person who builds bridges to reach out to others.  The extra creases in the fingers make the finger appear like an arched bridge when it is bent.  A Catwalk is like bridge.  It should be noted that other people with extra creases between phalanges did not always have a Catwalk.

General Symbolism of Teeth

Teeth also symbolize the Right Man - Right Woman relationship.  The upper teeth symbolize the Right Man and the lower teeth symbolize the Right Woman.  Having sex is symbolized by the grinding of the molars (Job 31:10).  In keeping with this analogy, the bicuspids in front of the molars symbolize embracing with the arms, while the incisors and canines symbolize holding with the hands.

Eating in the Garden of Eden symbolized the sexual relationship between Right Man and Right Woman.  The man and woman in the Garden ate fruit.  Meat, bread, and cooked food were not eaten until after the Fall because fire, as symbol of judgment, did not exist in the Garden.  The fruit in the Garden, which has survived to this day, was shaped like the male and female genitals and breasts.

The Teeth and the Solar System

The upper and lower rows of teeth are mirror images of each other.  To be functional, the upper and lower teeth must fit together.  Teeth that don't fit can be the sign of a wild child, who was not born from Right Man and Right Woman.  The rows of teeth also have bilateral symmetry.  Each tooth has a twin on the opposite side of the mouth.  The right side of the mouth symbolizes the spiritual dimension and the left side symbolizes the temporal dimension.  The upper teeth symbolize the Sun and Right Man, and the lower teeth symbolize the Moon and Right Woman.

The order of the planets in the Solar System as seen from Earth precisely match the order of the teeth.  In each quadrant, there are seven teeth, plus a wisdom tooth in the normal adult.  The incisors symbolize the first two planets.  The canines symbolize the Red Planet, which is unique.  In the Solar System the Asteroid Belt separates the Red Planet from the next two planets.  This division is also reflected in the mouth.  The next two teeth in the mouth, the bicuspids, are different from the pointed incisors and canines.  Unlike the planets made of rock and soil inside the Asteroid Belt, the planets outside the Asteroid Belt are large and gaseous.  The bicuspids correspond to the Almighty God and the God of the Covenants Planets.  The two molars which follow correspond to the Mediator and Redeemer Planets, which have interlocking orbits to set them apart as a pair.  The last planet, the Last Adam, corresponds to the wisdom tooth.  After the Last Adam Planet, the Kuiper Belt marks the outer boundary of the Solar System.

Right Man - Right Woman Analogy of Teeth

Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
That have come up from the washing,
All of them bearing twins,
And not one among them has lost her young. (SOS 4:2)

"All of them bearing twins" refers to the pairs of upper and lower teeth, where each tooth has a counterpart.  The teeth also have twin counterparts on the other side of the mouth.  The upper and lower twins are analogous to Gemini, in which the twins signify Right Man and Right Woman.  The upper twin tooth symbolizes Right Man and the lower twin tooth symbolizes Right Woman.  Not only do the upper and lower teeth symbolize Right Man and Right Woman, but the individual teeth, which fit and function together, symbolize aspects of the Right Man - Right Woman relationship.
 

The Shulamite woman had all her teeth - "not one among them has lost her young."  This was impressive in the era before dentistry matured.  No missing teeth meant no Eclipse Testing and no breaches in the wall of national security.  The rows of teeth in the mouth are like the rocks in the wall of a city or the posts in the wall of a fort.  The rows of teeth, like the Life Line in the hand, symbolize the security of the wall of a city or national security.

The Teeth and the Nation

Isaiah predicted the systemic failure of the Southern Kingdom of Judah in the approaching destruction of the nation by Babylon in 586 BC.

For, behold the LORD of the Armies will remove from Jerusalem and from Judah
Both supply and supplier,
The whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water. (Isaiah 3:1)

This is further explained as "the whole supply of bread."  Bread means not only bread but all the food in the nation.  Bread also symbolizes the Right Man as the bread winner (Gen 3:19).  All the water will also be removed.  Water symbolizes the Right Woman just as the Flood was sent to judge female promiscuity in the days of Noah.  However, here the absence of water symbolizes the breakdown of Marriage Culture due to the dried up female.  Thus, the beginning of the fall of the nation is the failure of the Right Man - Right Woman relationship, as symbolized by the teeth.

Isaiah continues to designate the failure of specific citizens who form the support base for the nation.  The list includes a sampling of the good and the bad in no particular order.

Isaiah 3:2-3
2 The mighty man and the soldier,
The judge and the prophet,
The diviner and the elder,
3 The captain of fifty and the highly distinguished,
The counselor and the skilled artisan,
And the expert enchanter.

1. Mighty man (a soldier known for bravery)  - Almighty God in Sagittarius
2. Soldier - Moon in Sagittarius
3. Judge - God of the Covenants in Libra
4. Prophet - Mediator in Aquarius
5. Diviner - Mediator in Pisces
6. Elder - Morning Star in Aries
7. Captain of fifty (platoon leader) - Morning Star in Sagittarius
8. Highly distinguished - Almighty God in Cancer
9. Counselor - Mediator in Aquarius
10. Skilled artisan - Sun in Cancer
11. Expert enchanter - Mediator in Aquarius

In Isaiah's day God was about to destroy the Southern Kingdom of Judah because rejection of Bible Doctrine led to the breakdown of Marriage Culture, which led to the failure of the Client Nation.

For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,
Because their speech and their deeds are against the LORD,
To defy the eyes of His glory. (Isaiah 3:8)

The LORD enters into Judgment with the elders of His people and its leaders,
"You!  You have devoured the vineyard;
The plunder from the poor is in your houses." (Isaiah 3:14)

"What do you mean that you crush My people
And grind the face of the afflicted?" says the Lord God of the Armies. (Isaiah 3:15)

And the leaders "grind the face of the afflicted."  This is analogous to the molars grinding those who are already crushed.  Grinding symbolizes the final desolation, ruin, and destruction of the nation, which occurs after the invasion (Psa 79:1).  Thus, crushing symbolizes invasion, and grinding symbolizes desolation.  Similarly, stumbling symbolizes invasion, and being caught in a trap symbolizes death and destruction (Isaiah 8:14-15; 28:13; 59:10).
 

Teeth in Personal Punishment

The analogy could be expanded to cover the phases of divine discipline as warning, intensified, and dying discipline, where:

1. Warning Discipline - Biting (incisors, canines) (Job 5:17; Psa 6:1; Gal 5:15; Heb 12:5; Rev 3:19)
2. Intensified Discipline - Breaking (bicuspids) (Psa 73:14; 119:75; Prov 22:22; Heb 12:6)
3. Dying Discipline - Grinding (molars) (Gen 3:19; Job 17:16; 34:15; Psa 22:15; Eccl 3:20; 12:7; 1 Jn 5:16)

Teeth in Categorical Punishment

God is usually the direct source of punishment.  Sickness, injuries, and a multitude of other problems from people or equipment, all could be attributed to the Sovereign Design of God in which He designed punishment into a person's life.  A person may also be responsible for his own punishment under the Law of Volitional Responsibility, in which he reaps what he sows.  He threw the boomerang, and it came back and hit him.  That kind of punishment God allows in His permissive will.

Whether God directs a person's punishment or allows it, the ultimate objective is usually to correct the person.  The unbeliever is punished to convince him of the need for Salvation.  The believer is punished to get him to return to God.  God does not punish people for sins because they were Judged on the Cross.  However, He does punish people who are outside the will of God in a state of sin.

The teeth with their symbolic planets, symbolize Categorical Punishment.  Within the category of seven types of punishment, the three phases of Warning, Intensified, and Dying Discipline correspond to the three groups of teeth.  The numerous types of punishment associated with each tooth could be quite extensive.  So, the table of Teeth in Categorical Punishment is by no means an exhaustive list of types of punishment.  Furthermore, some of the types of punishment can begin in Warning Discipline and continue into Dying Discipline.
 

The original sin was eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden.  Eating involved biting into the fruit, chewing, and swallowing.  Man chose from his own free will (volition) to violate God's command.  The act of eating the forbidden fruit, then, was a sin that began with violating God's command, which means the sin began in Ecumenical Babylon along the X-axis in relation to God.  The man and the woman overstepped the boundary of the X-axis that God had established.  Thus, as the Central Incisor bit into the forbidden fruit, it symbolized the beginning of the process of sinning.  And, just as the Central Incisor is symbolized by the Savior Planet, the man and woman would need a Savior after they sinned.

Biting into the forbidden fruit also involved the Lateral Incisor and Canine.  After touching the Central Incisor, the fruit also touched the Lateral Incisor, which symbolizes expansion of the sin problem into the mouth.  The lateral expansion corresponds to the Y-axis of Political Babylon in relation to God.  The man and the woman overstepped their Love relationship with God and wound up in Political Babylon of the Cosmic System.  The Morning Star symbolizing the Lateral Incisor means that they had been led astray.

Similarly, the Canine was touched by the forbidden fruit and the sin process extended to the Z-axis of Cosmic Babylon.  With violations of the X, Y, and Z axes, sin had been born; a sin had been committed.  Just as the Canine is symbolized by the Red Planet, for suffering, the man and the woman suffered The Fall after eating the forbidden fruit.  They fell victim to Satan's Cosmic System.  Because they sinned, they died spiritually and were sentenced to eventually die physically.  And their sin destroyed perfect environment and propagated to the animal kingdom and plants.  Satan took over the rulership of the world, and the man and woman were booted out of the Garden.  In order to pay for their sin and for all those sins that followed, the Son of God would have to suffer the Judgment of God on the Cross in the worst suffering of all.

From the pattern of sin and punishment in the Garden, the extension of divine discipline into the human race from womb to tomb can be categorized.  For those who do not respond to Warning Discipline, the hand of God brings Intensified Discipline as symbolized by the bicuspids.  And those who refuse to respond to Intensified Discipline, will be removed in Dying Discipline (Job 33:19-22) as symbolized by the grinding of the molars.  The dying person's life hangs in the balance in need of a mediator as symbolized by the Mediator Planet and the first molar (Job 33:23; Psa 39:10).  A ransom is needed to give the dying person an extension of life as symbolized by the Redeemer Planet and the second molar (Job 33:24).  And the possessions of the dying person may be taken before or after death (also related to the Redeemer Planet) (Psa 39:11; 1 Tim 6:9).

God is fair (Jer 30:11).  All the punishment is designed to wake the dying person up, but if he absolutely refuses to listen to God and will not respond to severe punishment, God will remove him from this life.  If the person believed in Jesus Christ any time in his life, then he will go to Heaven, as symbolized by the Redeemer Planet.  However, if the person never believed in Jesus Christ, he will go to Hades and eventually to the Lake of Fire.  He will be condemned because he rejected the only Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

With Categorical Punishment completed, there is still one more tooth.  That is the wisdom tooth, which is symbolized by the Last Adam Planet.  Jesus Christ, the Last Adam, was born into an Earthly family and died on the Cross.  The grief of his family after his death was like the weeping for the firstborn of Egypt or Rachel crying for her children (Ex 12:29; Jer 31:15; Matt 2:18).  The wisdom tooth symbolizes family punishment.  The mother suffers the excruciating pain of labor at childbirth, per the curse of the Adamic Covenant (Gen 3:16).  Then, after a person dies, his family suffers.  The grief of a lost family member is some of the worst suffering that people have in this life.  Dying is easy for the person who went to Heaven, but for those left behind, it a difficult process.  Thus, the wisdom tooth tacks a new type of punishment onto the end of Categorical Punishment.

The Tabernacle
Planets in the Tabernacle

The Tabernacle

Hebrews 8:4b-5
4b ... there are those (Levitical priests) who continue offering gifts in conformity with the Law,  5 who (Levitical priests) serve as a shadow-model of heavenly things,  just as Moses was warned when he was about to construct the Tabernacle:  "For See," He says, "You shall make all things according to the design which was shown to you on the mountain."

When the Lord prepared the heavens and the Earth for man, they were also precisely designed to portray the story of Christ and his work of Redemption.  Twelve signs of the Zodiac became the houses or backdrops for twelve chapters in history, and ten planets that occupied those houses pointed out additional details.  The twelve signs of the Zodiac correspond to the twelve tribes of Israel that camped around the periphery of the Tabernacle, which was in the center of the camp.  Inside the Tabernacle, the articles of furniture that symbolized Christ also corresponded to the ten planets overhead.

Inside the tent that covered the Holy Place and Holy of Holies, there was only one source of light, the Golden Lampstand.  The Golden Lampstand with its seven olive oil lamps symbolized the seven major planets known to ancient astrologers, who did not have telescopes.  The Lord Jesus Christ symbolically held these seven stars in his hand.

And in His right hand He held seven stars; and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the Sun shining in its power. (Revelation 1:16)

Planets in the Tabernacle

Aaron's rod symbolized the ruler's scepter of the Lord Jesus Christ.  It also corresponded to the Morning Star.  The pot of manna symbolized the impeccable humanity of Jesus Christ, who was uniquely qualified to bear the sins of the world.  It also symbolized the Last Adam Planet.  God the Father demonstrated His Love for us in delivering His Son to die as a substitute for us (Rom 8:32; John 3:16).  Since God loved us, we can respond and Love Him with reciprocal Love.  Thus, the Love of God can be reciprocated as the Love for God.  The Tables of the Law symbolize the Lord as the Lawgiver and Judge.  The second greatest commandment in the Law was called the Royal Law, which means "love your neighbor as yourself" (Jas 2:8).  This is Impersonal Love for all mankind.

The Ark with its Mercy Seat was symbolized by the Almighty God Planet with its Great Red Spot that symbolized where the spear pierced the side of Christ.  The preincarnate manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ dwelt between the Cherubs of the Mercy Seat as the Shekinah Glory.  The Ark symbolizes the Lord Jesus Christ as Sovereign, King of kings and Lord of lords, who will reign from His Millennial Throne.  It symbolizes the Judge of all (Heb 12:23) and Christ as our "all and in all" (Col. 3:11).  This is His Integrity (Holiness), which is His Love.  Thus, the Almighty God Planet also symbolizes the Love of Christ and our reciprocal Love for Him.
 

Signs of Covenants
Summary of Signs of the Covenants

Signs of Covenants

After man sinned, God established the Adamic Covenant with him.  Sin is associated with the goat, which is the sacrifice for sin.  The goat corresponds to the sign of Capricornus.  After Satan attacked Marriage, which resulted in the Flood, God made the Noahic Covenant with Noah in which He promised never again to destroy the Earth by a flood.  The Noahic Covenant, therefore, corresponds to the sign of Aquarius (Gen 9:11-15).

Later God called Abraham to make from him a new, chosen race.  Abraham was symbolized the ram (Aries) under the Abrahamic Covenant (Gen 22:13).  Then God called Moses and established the Mosaic Covenant (the Law) to make Israel a holy nation, as symbolized by Leo, the lion of Judah (Ex 19:6).  And after the Jews rejected Jesus Christ, the Church was called out to be the Royal Family of God.  Jesus Christ was a Priest, who offered Himself to God, and became High Priest of the Church,  Pisces, the fish, symbolizes a priest and corresponds to the New Covenant to the Church (Heb 6:20).

Thus, the twelve signs of the Zodiac are associated with the twelve covenants that establish God's authority over mankind throughout human history.
