If the line of the Heart (or the line of Fortune in India) (No. 25),
extend only to the mount of Apollo (the Sun), the person will scarcely
live ten years. And should this line be broken in many places the person
will die by drowning. But if another smaller line appear running
parallel with the Heart line and which extends only to the mount of
Apollo (No. 26), the person will meet his death either by a fall from a
house or a tree. Should, however, this line extend from the outside part
of the hand to the mount of Jupiter, the life will be long and good, if
not broken.
If a line rises from the mount of Venus to the first phalanx of the
thumb he will be a commander of a large army (No. 27).
A vertical line on the mount of Jupiter, the possessor will be a great
diplomatist, but an irreligious person (No. 28). If this line appear on
the mount of Saturn, he will be a prosperous man with a beautiful wife
and have many children (No. 29).
A line under the Sun denotes a trades person with a long life, but only
rises to the middle class (No. 30).
If a vertical and well-defined line appear on the mount of Mercury (No.
31), the person is likely to lead a long life in a foreign country.
If the line of the Heart (Fortune line) goes to the mount of Saturn, he
will live thirty years.
If the Life line and the Liver line (called the Head line in England) be
separated entirely, the female will either be seduced before marriage or
have illegitimate children, or in both sexes be illegitimate themselves.
If the palm of the hand be filled with numerous and indistinct marks or
lines the person leads a very unhappy life.
If a person have single lines or marks thus == between the phalanges on
the joints of the fingers and when counted together make twelve, they
will be happy, prosperous and rich for the most part of life.
If they make thirteen he will be very unhappy.
If they make fifteen he will be dishonest or a thief.
If they make sixteen he will be a great gambler and cheat.
If they make seventeen he will be guilty of debauchery and much
wickedness.
If they make eighteen the person will be very fortunate and religious.
If they make nineteen he will be very clever and respectable.
If they make twenty an enthusiast in religion.
If they make twenty-one he will be a great poet and become famous.
When these lines are joined at the ends and form the shape of a
barleycorn or wheat, the fame and learning of the person depend on the
number; one would be weak, two strong, and so on. If the lines just over
the mounts be united at the ends, as described above, the person in
whose hands the same appear will have riches and wealth, but generally
by marriage. If they be united over all four fingers the person will be
very rich, over three less wealthy and so on.
