Palmistry question and answers

A line from the mount through the third phalange in an oblique direction shows danger of death in war: many straight lines show success in mining, but if unequal and crooked they indicate a sad and melancholy nature: twisted lines on the third phalange indicate ill luck, and on the first phalange a selfish and avaricious nature. A thick line across the second phalange shows a narrow escape from poison, and a line the whole length of the finger shows a lack of judgment.

This is an indication of a preservation from any evil that may ­be shown by the Fate line, and more especially when the Fate line enters the finger of Saturn.

One upward line indicates success, but if there are cross lines they show ill luck late in life, especially if they cut the Fate line: but if the Fate line is deeper than the cross lines the difficulties are overcome. Lines from the mount of Saturn leading on to that of Jupiter are a sign of progres­sive success and honour.

On the first phalange it denotes great good fortune; on the second it indicates love of mischief and boldness, unless connected by a line with the first phalange, when the bad influence is over­come. A star on the third phalange indicates much self-faith and egotism, unless connected to the Head line by a ray and then it promises the gratification of ambition and much social success.

This is a sign that the subject will enjoy the friendship of influential personages.

These generally mean obstacles, but not always: on the first phalange they are signs of general debility, and when going quite round the top of the finger, they indicate danger of a wound to the head. On the second phalange these cross lines indicate moral difficulties or falsehood, envy, and general bad nature; on the third phalange they are said to be signs of inheritances, but this is not reliable unless confirmed by other signs on the hand.

One straight line from the mount to the second phalange shows high and noble ideas, mixed with courage and audacity; but when it goes the whole length of the finger it shows greater strength and energy of the qualities than are indicated by the development of the mount alone.

This shows danger of a fall from a good position, but it is not at all definite or reliable unless the spot is seen in both hands.

This is a sign of preservation from the dangers of strong ambition, and also shows capacity to lead and command.

When standing alone and distinct from other lines this is an indication of sorrow caused by the persecution of friends or relatives, because of a study or profession taken up con­trary to their wishes.
