Also called: Akasha · Kham · The sky mark · Space · Two concentric circles

Where on the hand: Anywhere on the palm; listed among the marks of the divine hands and soles.

What it looks like: Two concentric circles, one inside the other, with clear space between them — the conventional Indian figure for the open sky or ether.

Read as expansiveness and detachment: a nature that is everywhere and attached to nothing, that can hold whatever comes without being altered by it. The devotional gloss is omnipresence; the palmistry reading is freedom from confinement, whether of place, of circumstance or of mind.

Read with care: Western palmistry reads concentric circles on the palm as an unlucky formation. The Indian devotional reading is the opposite. Neither is evidence; report the disagreement.
