A star on the Fate line connected to the Life line by a small ray indicates that a disaster will occur to the individual at the age implied by the time the ray touches the Life line; bu ta star on the F'ate line not connected with the Life line indicates a disaster at the time it appears on the Fate line. A star at the base of the Fate line shows misfortune caused by parents in early life (failure in business or sickness so as to damage the future prospects of the individual), but if there is also a star on the mount of Venus and it is connected with the star on the Fate line it indicates loss of parents in early life. If the star is at the end of the Fate line and on the mount of Saturn it indicates misfortune caused by the ill will of others, but in an otherwise good hand the misfortune will be overcome; if, however, there is a star at the end of the Life line also, it shows danger of death by paralysis.
