I start from a personal encounter with the individual, and observe her whole appearance as well as the palm of her hand. I touch her skin, notice the way it feels, its color, the lines, the softness. When dealing with problems in the parent-child relationship or male-female compatibility, I draw on oriental astrology... These approaches are used together to arrive at a more precise judgement."
