q:

What is the meaning of the Heart line touching the Head line under Saturn and then going on in its natural course?

a:

This shows a danger of a violent death by accident if in the left hand, but unless the same sign is present in the right hand also that danger can be avoided by care. If it is in the right hand only the death will probably be due to personal action or carelessness on the part of the subject.

q:

What is the meaning of the Heart line being joined in the Head line?

a:

When it is joined under Jupiter or Saturn is an indication of great danger of sudden or violent death and this danger is increased if the sign is in both hands.

When the Heart line is thin and weak, and yet joined to the Headline, it is a sign that the life will be full of struggles and misfortunes, caused chiefly by temper and miscalculations more especially if the Head and Life lines are also joined together until Saturn is reached and the Head line travels to the mount of Mars.

Should the Heart line be near to the Head line?

a:

What does a broken Heart line indicate?

a:

With one break it is an indication of feebleness in the heart's action; very much broken up into fragments it denotes changeability inlove and an aversion to the opposite sex: broken under Saturn it denotes sensitiveness of feeling, and also a shock to the affections, but if in both hands the shock has a fatal effect.

q:

What does a chained Heart line indicate?

a:

This shows a weak action of the heart resulting in fluttering and palpitations, especially if the Ring of Venus is present, for this is a sign of a highly strung nervous organization. A chained Heart line is also considered a sign of flirtation, or instability in love affairs; but this latter is not reliable unless the mount of Venus be large and the Grille appears upon it.

q:

What is the meaning of the Heart line ending immediately under the mount of Saturn?

a:

This is a dangerous sign, for if seen in both hands it indicates a short life and sudden death, caused most probably from a shock through grief, from a poplexy or from heart disease; but if only seen in one hand the danger is lessened, and the love is of a strong nature, although of a material kind.

What is the meaning of the Heart line turning down towards the Head line near to the mount of Jupiter?

This is an indication of some deep grief which arises through mis­placed or unrewarded affection, or the loss of some dearly-loved one; and if a small ray crosses the part which turns down, it means danger of a miserable marriage.

q:

What does the Heart line indicate when it touches the base of Jupiter's finger and is without branches?

a:

This is rather an unfortunate sign, for it promises no success whatever in the undertakings of the subject unless the Fate line is an ex­ceptionally good one; for it shows the feelings and emotions to have too much sway over the nature, and  there by over­come common sense and judgment.
