commences at center of the Rascettes, takes an oblique course from the Fate Line, ending toward Mount Mercury. If straight and well defined, there is little liability to constitutional diseases; when it does not extend to the Head Line, steady mental labor cannot be performed; when it is broad and deep on Mount Mercury, diminishing as it enters the Life Line, death from heart disease is indicated; small lines cutting it denote sickness from biliousness. When joined to the Heart Line, health and business are neglected for love; if made up of short lines, there is suffering from stomach trouble or catarrh; if it is checked by islands there is a constitutional tendency to lung disease. THE MARRIAGE LINES extend straight across Mount Mercury; if short, affairs of the heart without marriage are denoted. When near the Heart Line, early marriage is indicated; if it turns directly to the Heart Line, marriage will occur between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one; if close to the top of the mount, marriage will not take place before the thirty-fifth year; if it curves upward it indicates a single life; when pronged and running toward the center or to Mount Mars, divorce will occur. If the end of this line droops, the subject will outlive wife or husband; if broken, divorce is implied; if it ends in a cross, the wife or husband will die from an accident. A branch from this line upward implies a high position attained by marriage. A black spot on this line means widowhood. CHILDREN’S LINES are small and upright, extending from the end of the Marriage Line. If broad and well defined, males, if fine and narrow, females are indicated. A line of this order that is deep and well defined denotes prominence for that child. SMALL LINES have a signification depending upon their position and number. A single line on Jupiter signifies success; on Saturn, happiness; on Apollo, fame and talent. Ascending small lines are favorable, while descending lines are unfavorable signs. Several small lines on Mars indicate warfare constantly. Cross lines, failure. LINES ON THE HAND If not well defined, indicate poor health. Deep red lines indicate good, robust health. Yellow lines indicate excessive biliousness.
