The Great Triangle

What is called the great triangle or the Triangle of Mars is formed by the lines of life, head and the hepatica.

When as is frequently the case, the line of health is altogether absent its place must be filled by an imaginary line to form the base of the triangle or else (as is often found) the line of the sun forms the base. The latter is by far the greatest sign of power and success although the subject will not be so broad- minded and liberal as when the line of health forms the base of the triangle.

The shape and positions of the great triangle must be considered by themselves although it contains the upper the middle and the lower angle which three points will be dealt with later.

When the triangle is well formed by the lines of head life and health it should be broad and enclose the entire Plain of Mars. In such a case it denotes breadth of views liberality and generosity of spirit; such a person will be inclined to sacrifice himself to further the interests of the whole not the unit.

If on the contrary three small wavy uncertain lines form it, it denotes timidity of spirit meanness and cowardice. Such a man would always go with the majority even against his principles.

When in the second formation of the triangle it has for its base the line of sun the subject will then have narrow ideas but great individually and strong resolution. Such a sign from the very qualities it exhibits contains within itself the seeds of worldly success.

The upper angle

The lines of head and life form the upper angle. This angle should be clear well pointed and even. Such will indicate refinement of thought and mind and delicacy toward others.

When very obtuse it denotes a dull matter-of-fact intellect with little delicacy and feeling and a very small appreciation of art or of artistic things or people.

When extremely wide and obtuse it gives a blunt hasty temper a person who will continually offend people. It also denotes impatience and want of application in study.

The middle angle

The line of head and health forms the middle angle, which if clear and well defined it denotes quickness of intellect, vivacity and good health.

When very acute it denotes a painfully nervous temperament and bad health.

When very obtuse dullness of intelligence and a matter-of-fact method of working.

The lower angle

The lower angle when very acute and made by the hepatica denotes a strong nature.

When made by the line of sun and very acute it gives individuality but a narrow view of things when obtuse it gives a broader and more generous mind.
