The influence of the stars : $b a book of old world lore
Baughan, Rosa
Astrology; Palmistry; Physiognomy
Although the signs just described are those given by each planet, as it
rarely happens that anyone is born under the influence of one planet
only, but generally of two or more, it is rarely that we see a face
which gives the pure type of any one planet without admixture. It is
for the physiognomist to examine and ascertain which is the dominant
planet.
The union of Saturn and Jupiter gives a pale skin without freshness,
chestnut hair and eyes and a rather dark skin, the face a round oval
and dark grey eyes.
The union of Venus with the Sun gives brilliant beauty, a beautiful
complexion, hair of a golden brown or rich chestnut, full, bright brown
eyes with long eyelashes, a delicately-formed nose and a beautiful
mouth. People born under this junction have much charm of manner, but
they are not very constant; for, although they have much tenderness,
they are of the ardent artistic nature, which, from its very
susceptibility, cannot be expected to be as constant as those who are
less impressionable; they are people of quick rather than deep
feelings; they love readily, but as readily forget.
"Women born under the double influence of Venus and the Sun," says an
old Italian writer on the subject, are "loving, lovely and beloved."
CHAPTER XXXIII.
CONCERNING THE MOLES ON THE FACE AND THEIR REFERENCE TO THOSE ON THE
BODY
All moles are the result of the influences of the planets, or of the
sign of the zodiac rising at birth. The moles which are given by Saturn
are black; those by Jupiter are of a purple-brown colour; those by the
Sun, yellow; by Venus, light brown; Mercury, honey-coloured; by the
Moon, of a bluish white.
A mole on the right side of the forehead, just beneath or on the line
of Saturn (see plate) indicates another on the right side of the
breast. This mole shows to a man, if yellow, that he will have good
fortune in sowing, tilling the earth, or building; if red, he will have
luck all through his life, by his courage and force of character; if
black, his condition will be changeable; if the mole is purple, he will
be advanced to be the head of his family. In a woman a mole in this
position shows fortune by inheritance or legacies; but if black in
colour she will not live long.
A mole on the left side of the forehead on the Line of Saturn indicates
another on the left side of the back and shows to a man imprisonment
and disaster; if honey-coloured, his trouble comes from women; if red,
from quarrels with enemies; if black, he will be unfortunate all his
life. To a woman it foretells that she will live out of her own country
and if black she will be a widow.
