_Interpretation._—If this line be uniform and not intersected, it forms
with the line of Life and Liver line (sometimes called the Head line) a
triangle on the plane of Mars, if of good colour, it denotes prudence,
manly wit and fair fortune; the more perfect this triangle, the better
will be the person's wit and courage; if obtuse it shows an evil nature
and a rude man; no triangle shows a fool or a knave.
No. 13.
_Name._—Line of the Moon.
_Location._—A line running from the line of Saturn and line of the Brain
to the mount of the moon called sometimes the Via Lactea.
_Interpretation._—This line being uniformly composed, proportionate and
continued, denotes fortunate journeys both by land and sea; also a good
brain, the favour of women (the mount of Venus being also unafflicted),
a composed and graceful speech; if it be cut or distorted it argues
infelicity and proneness to lies; if whole and ascending up to little
finger it denotes great happiness.
No. 14.
_Name._—Mount of the Moon.
_Location._—The outside part of hand, opposite to root of thumb, between
mount of Mercury and wrist.
_Interpretation._—Imagination, refinement, poetry; if very large or full
it denotes despair, caprice and almost lunacy; when flat and hollow,
denotes dulness, want of speech, positiveness.
No. 15.
_Name._—Plane and place of Mars. The mount of Mars.
_Location._—The place of Mars is twice represented, one on the side of
the palm by the mount of Mars, and the other in the palm between the
line of Life and the Liver line, called the plane or place of Mars.
_Interpretation._—The mount of Mars shows courage; when in excess,
passion; when small, temerity.
(_Vide_ marks, etc., specially numbered.)
No. 16.
_Name._—Mount of Venus.
_Location._—In the root of the thumb.
_Interpretation._—Love of beauty and pleasure; where large, inconstancy,
coquetry; when small, coldness.
No. 17.
_Name._—Dragon lines or Bracelets.
_Location._—Lines to be found on the wrist.
_Interpretation._—If double or triple and forming a right and continuous
tract, it shows good composure of body; thrice, indicates health, wealth
and prosperity; a star or cross here shows tranquillity in old age; if a
line extends to the mount of Moon or Mercury from Dragon lines, it shows
esteem and life in a foreign country.
No. 18.
_Name._—Plane of Mensa, or place of Fortune.
_Location._—The space between the line of Fortune and the Liver line.
_Interpretation._—Great and broad and forming a nice figure, it declares
a liberal man, magnanimous and long-lived; if small and narrow, it
argues slender fortune, niggardliness and fearfulness; a star or cross
in this space, clear and well-proportioned, especially under the mount
of the Sun, shows honours and dignities to follow.
