Also called: Seventy-part division · Dale's 70-part rule

Where on the hand: Applied to the Life line's full course, from its origin between thumb and index finger, round the Mount of Venus, to its end at the wrist.

What it looks like: The whole line divided into seventy equal parts along its length, each part standing for one year of life.

The classical division, given by Cheiro and repeated verbatim in Mrs J. B. Dale's 1895 Indian Palmistry — making it one of the few timing rules the two literatures share word for word.
