The Lines of the Hand

THERE are seven important lines on the hand, and seven lesser lines . The important lines are as follows:

  1. The Line of Life, which embraces the Mount of Venus

  2. The Line of Head, which crosses the centre of the hand.

  3. The Line of Heart, which runs parallel to that of the head, at the base of the fingers.

  4. The Girdle of Venus, found above the line of heart and generally encircling the Mounts of Saturn and the Sun.

  5. The Line of Health, which runs from the Mount of Mercury down the hand.

  6. The Line of Sun, which rises generally on the Plain of Mars and ascends till the Mount of the Sun.

  7. The Line of Fate, which occupies the centre of the hand, from the wrist to the Mount of Saturn.

The seven lesser lines on the hand are as follows:

  1. The Line of Mars, which rises on the Mount of Mars and lies within the Line of Life

  2. The Via Lasciva, which lies parallel to the line of health

  3. The Line of Intuition, which extends like a semi-circle from Mercury to Luna

  4. The Line of Marriage, the horizontal line on the Mount of Mercury and

  5. The three bracelets found on the wrist

The main lines are known by other names, as follows:

  • The Line of Life is also called the Vital.
  • The Line of Head, the Natural or Cerebral.
  • The Line of Heart, the Mensal.
  • The Line of Fate, the Line of Destiny, or the Saturnian.
  • The Line of Sun, the Line of Brilliancy, or Apollo.
  • The Line of Health, the Hepatica, or the Liver Line.

The hand is divided into two parts or hemispheres by the line of head.

The upper hemisphere, containing the fingers and Mounts of Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, Mercury, and Mars, represents mind, and the lower, containing the base of the hand, represents the materials. It will thus be seen that with this clear point as a guide the student will gain an insight at once into the character of the subject under examination. This division has hitherto been ignored, but it is almost infallible in its accuracy; as, for example, when the predisposition is toward crime the line of head rises into the abnormal position shown by Plate XIII which, taken from life, is one instance in the thousands that can be had of the accuracy of this statement.

IN RELATION TO THE LINES

THE rules in relation to the lines are, in the first place, that they should be clear and well marked, neither broad nor pale in colour; that they should be free from all breaks, islands, or irregularities of any kind.

  • Lines very pale in colour indicate, in the first place, want of robust health and, in the second, lack of energy and decision.
  • Lines red in colour indicate the sanguine, hopeful disposition; they show an active, robust temperament.
  • Yellow lines, as well as being indicative of biliousness and liver trouble, are indicators of a nature self-contained, reserved, and proud.
  • Lines very dark in colour, almost black, tell of a melancholy, grave temperament, and also indicate a haughty, distant nature, one usually very revengeful and unforgiving.
  • Lines may appear, diminish, or fade, which must always be borne in mind when reading the hand. The province of the palmist therefore is to warn the subject of approaching danger by pointing out the evil tendencies of his nature. It is purely a matter of the subject’s will whether or not he will overcome these tendencies, and it is by seeing how the nature has modified evils in the past that the palmist can predict whether or not evils will be overcome in the future. In reading the hand, no single evil mark must be accepted as decisive. If the evil is important, almost every principal line will show its effect, and both hands must be consulted before the decision can be final. A single sign in itself only shows the tendency; when, however, other lines follow the sign, the danger is almost a certainty.
