Broken - For each break a casuality or a serious change in the subject's life; if one fragment overlays the other - A change not necessarily unfortunate.

Even if the break is a gap without any overlaying fragment, the events thus marked, although of an untoward nature when they happen, may not prove fatal or even really disastrous for the subject.

Inheritance Through The Death Of An Insane Relative

The third finger abnormally long {not shown in the design). A Line of Fate. otherwise line, entirely absent betwecn 28 and 35. From a star on the Mount of Venus starts a Line of Influence, ending in a star at the connection of the Line of Head with a very fine Line of the Sun.

"The subject was an inveterate gambler. He had lost all he had, when the death of a relative, who was confined at the time in an insane asylum, placed in his possession at 35 another large fortune. From that time he dropped his bad habits and started on a prosperous, reputable career."

Broken and cut by many bars - Suc-cession of unfortunate occurrences.

A very good Mount of Saturn and a well shaped second finger may cover up the deficiencies of the Line.

Forked, one prong arising from the Mount of the Moon, and the Line itself broken just where the fork ends - Dan-ger of death by drowning or danger of unfaithfulness on the part of a loved one.

The Mount of the Moon is always compared by Desbarrolles to the briny deep with its constant changes and treacherous attractions.

Broken inside the Quadrangle, and starting again from the Line of Heart -

A much compromised position or fortune will be retrieved, by the assistance of one of the opposite sex. Especially true if the hand contains a good Line of the Sun.

As told above, a good Line of the Sun corrects the defects of a poor Line of Fate.

Broken and wavy - Ill health from an abuse of some kind of pleasure, the nature of which is easily discovered, in the hand. The reading is still more exact if the Line is split lengthwise; this is not passible to show in the design.

I had occasion (when speaking of the Line of Head) to state how grave was the existence of such a. split; ft always indicates that the channel through which runs the vital fluid has become, so to speak, leaky and does not any longer perform its task in a satisfactory manner.

A decided break and a strong voyage line on the Mount of the Moon - The tenor of the subject's life will be radically changed and he will have to spend a great portion of it on the other side of the ocean, this sojourn abroad to begin at the date of the break.

A break, and then the line terminating upon the Mount of Jupiter - A second (and brilliant) union of the subject at the date of the break.

That supposes generally that the existence, and date, of a previous union has been discovered in the hand, in fact, this break, with concomitant indications on the Line of Heart, is read more simply and generally as "Widowhood or Widowerhood."
