A single long line - A presentiment of evil.

A line down the Mourn with a short one crossing it - Tendency to chronic rheumatism or gout. Especially in the middle portion of the Mount.

Young Man Who Believed Himself Haunted By Ghosts

A fair Line of Life, but with a black spot at 19. A Line of Head droop-ing at once. quite chained, to the Mount of the Moon. A Line of Heart, starting from the Line of Life and Head and Occupying the place of the Line of Head. A triple Girdle of Venus virtually occupying the place of the Line of Heart and starting with a big star on the MOUNt of Jupiter. The Lower mount of the Moon rayed and cross-raycd; just above this a 1arge St Andrew's star.

"A young man was affected, from his 19th year on, with a peculiar monomania. He believed himself the chief of a band of Spirits who surrounded him. He had been addicted to vicious practices, and his nervous system was shattered, This star on the Mount of Jupiter with one ray penetrating quite deeply into the first finger is often found in the hands of insane people who believe themselves occupying high positions."

Many confused and crossed lines with a chained or islanded Line of Heart - Inconstancy in love affairs; often downright immorality.

A series of crossed or confused lines at the upper part of the Mount - Chronic diarrhea: if very heavy and forming a kind of grille - Intestinal troubles of the gravest nature.

Many confused and cross lines at the bottom of the Mount - Bladder troubles; often Diabetes or Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. In wornen - Infallible sign of female troubles especially if there ia. a star at the connection of the Lines of Head and Liver.

Capillary cross lines - Wounds on the body.

Disease of the Bladder: The Stone. - A much chained and poor Line of Heart. A Line of Head broken under the Mount of Saturn and sloping down into the lower part of the Mount of the Moon and ending in a star; that part of the Mount being much rayed and cross-rayed, a ray of the star extending to the lower palm (the bottom of the triangle).

"Scen in the hand of an old soldier, who pretended never to have been ill, but acknowledged being troubled with calculi (or stones) in the bladder."

A triangle - Wisdom in the use of high imaginative faculties.

A grille - Melancholia; nervous troubles; troubles of the womb and bladder.

Read what I have to say about confused lines and cross lines on the Mount. Grilles, on the Mounts of the Moon and Venus are practically the equivalents of these confused and crossed lines.

A grille with a star on the Mount of Saturn - Danger of partial apoplexy or paralysis. Often the star alone is enough.

A poor line of Heart, indicating defective circulation of the blood foretells (with the above grille) coming apoplexy. A poor line of Head, telling of an impaired brain, paraly-sis

A grille with a fine Line of the Sun - Poetical imagination; often found in literary women's hands.

This is the equivalent of an exaggerate Mount of the Moon, which I consider as acceptable in the hands of people of genius. The Gifts of Invention and Method United In the Same Hand. - The Line of Head crossing the whole hand and forked before crossing the Line of the Sun, the lower prong going low down into the Mount of the Moon, where the Mount is much rayed. The Mount of Venus is quite prominent and the fingers very square.

"This is the description of the hand of Leon Coignet, the famous French painter. It indicates clearly a most striking mixture of imagination and practical ability. The Lines of the Sun and Fate are remarkably fine, and the hand, as a whole, is a very desirable one and fits exactly the well-known tendencies and the brilliant career of the artist."

A circle - Danger of death by drowning.

A square- - Protection against the bad markings or exaggerate development of the Mount.

Three Times Saved From Drowning

Again I call your attention to the principle laid down at the end of my readings of the Mount of Jupiter.
