Girdle of Venus
Via Lasciva
Ring of Solomon
Line of Intuition
The Girdle of Venus is that broken or unbroken line or series of lines like a semi-circle generally found rising between the first and second fingers and finishing between the third fourth (A, Fig. 1).

It may also be found lying across the base of all the mounts under the fingers from the Mount of Jupiter to the Mount Mercury, or it may be found terminating or running off the hand in, through or near the Line of Marriage.

In the first example (A, Fig. 1), it is usually found associated a highly strung intellectual disposition, a person un-sensitive and swayed by moods.

Girdle of Venus
When this curious sign appears on a broad flabby sensual looking hand, especially one when the Line of Head is seen curving downwards towards, or on the Mount of Luna (D, Fig. 1); such an indication with a large Mount of Venus  will undoubtedly foreshadow vicious tendencies of a sensual  and self-destructive character.

The Girdle of Venus, whether broken on unbroken, is more usually found on a long narrow intellectual type, thus it is abnormal to find it on a broad fleshy hand and consequently if found denotes abnormal tendencies.

It must be remembered that short hands with stubby fingers  belong to the more materialistic realm of Life, while long hands with long fingers belong to a higher mental development.

The mounts of the palm in themselves express the qualities of the mind; and therefore follows that the Girdle of Venus lying across the mounts of the upper part of the hand must in itself have more mental  bearing than a physical one.

When therefore not too much accentuated as in (A, Fig. 1), it is not an unfavorable sign to have as it will give more sensitiveness to the artistic nature.

Such persons are capable of rising to great enthusiasm over anything that engages their mentality, but at the same time they will as easily descend to the lowest depths of depression if things do not go as they expect, or if they become disappointed by one of their idols falling off the pedestal on which they have placed them.

When the Girdle of Venus runs on to any part of the Mount of Jupiter (B, Fig. 1), such persons become hero-worshippers in every sense of the term, and in consequence suffer k through disillusionment.

If the Girdle of Venus passes off the hand through the Line of Marriage or near it (C  Fig. 1), married life will be marred by the highly sensitive and erotic nature of the person whose hand this mark it found.
Via Lasciva

This line passes from the Mount of Luna into that of Venus (E, Fig. 1).  It usually takes the form of a loop apparently  joining the two mounts together.   No matter what form it take it is not a favorable mark to have. On a hard firm it will not have so much effect, but on a soft flabby especially with Head Line curving downwards it indicates a lack of resistance to sensation and stimulation especially to intoxicating liquors and such drugs as morphine  cocaine, hashish, etc., and is a warning for the exercise of power and abstinence.

On a hand with a straight Line of Head, the Via Lasciva considerably loses its meaning as if the mental will-power held its tendencies under restraint.

This strange mark is usually found on a hand which has at least some formation of the Girdle of Venus, but it can found quite independent of it.

If the Via Lasciva should be noticed on the hand of a  young person, every effort should be made to strengthen  the wilI-power and warn them against self-indulgence of all kinds.
The Ring of Saturn

The Ring of Saturn (A, Fig. 2) is a kind of semi-circle on the face of the Mount of Saturn. It is not often seen on hands and  is a most unfortunate mark to find.

It appears to have a bearing on the mental outlook character of the person on whose hand it may be found.  Such  persons are gloomy, melancholy and morose. They have imaginary grievance and cut themselves off from the society of their fellow beings.

They are usually unfortunate in everything they attempt, and if a sloping or weak-looking Head Line is found on the same hand, they are inclined to develop a decided tendency towards suicide.

This mark is more usually found when there is a heavily marked Line of Fate which runs up the hand to the Ring of Saturn. This solitary-looking Fate Line appears to intensify the isolated character indicated by the Ring of Saturn (B, Fig.2).

The Ring of Solomon

This mark is found on the Mount of Jupiter under the first finger. It is the complete reverse of the indications given by the Ring of Saturn, being in itself a sign of power and authority over others. It is usually formed as a kind of semi-circle on the face of the Mount of Jupiter (C, Fig. 2).

In ancient limes the 'Ring of Jupiter' was considered a sign of occult power, and was called the 'Mark of the Master'. The qualities of Jupiter were designated to the Mount under the first finger because it is by the first finger one 'lays down the law to others'. By it man dictates to his fellow man, so it became the symbol of authority.

If therefore a Ring of Jupiter (or, as it is also called, 'The Ring of Solomon') is found on or around the mount, it appears to accentuate the qualities the mind represents and is conse¬quently an excellent sign to possess.

This mark must not be confused with short straight lines like bars on the face of the Mount. Such bars indicate obstacles or barriers in the way of the attainment of the person's ambition.

The Line of  Intuition

The Line of Intuition (D, Fig. 2), as a rule is only found on the philosophic, conic or psychic types of hands. It appears as a kind of semi-circle joining the Mounts of Mercury and Luna together. It denotes a highly strung, impressionable nature, one super-sensitive to surroundings, influences or the aura of other persons.

If this line is found on a hand its possessor will have clair¬voyant gifts, presentiments, vivid dreams and perhaps visions. It is more often found on the psychic type of hand than any other.
