The Line of Life
Fig .1
The Line of Life is that line which commences under the base of the first finger and circles round the ball of the thumb towards the wrist (A, Fig. 1)
This is a line which seldom receives its just due, for it tells so much of the character and condition of the life as well as the story of the constitution. By its length and freedom from 'breaks' or interferences of any kind one is able to judge the vitality and the length of life normally to be anticipated.

By its length and freedom from 'breaks' or interferences of any kind one is able to judge the vitality and the length of life normally to be anticipated.
Again, like every other line, there are three normal points of commencement. First a line that appears to start high up on the hand from the base of the Mount of Jupiter (B, Fig. 1). The second is the line commencing like a straight track between the mounts before beginning to curve (A, Fig. 1), and the third rises and curves upwards from the Mount of Mars before encircling the Mount of Venus (C and D, Fig. 1).
The first (B, Fig. 1), starting high on the hand, denotes a very early development of the characteristics of ambition. Children with this indication are difficult to hold back. Their minds mature early, and the competitive instinct of ambition manifests itself even in school days. If this type of line looks delicate or formed with an island or chains at the commencement, it indicates that the early life will be more or less delicate as the subject is liable to overtax his strength.
All lines rising from the Line of life towards the Mount of Jupiter denote periods in the life of an urge upwards to increased work and ambition (E, Fig. 1). If an island is seen in the life Line underneath any of these lines, it denotes that the effort is almost too great for the strength, and consequently the person should be warned to husband his vital forces as much as possible at the danger period.
Lines rising from the Line of Life and bending towards the Mount of Saturn have a totally different meaning. They may not give such ambitious tendencies, but they indicate laborious effort characteristic of the Mount of Saturn (F, Fig. 1).
A line rising from the Line of Life and bending over toward (he third finger or the Mount of the Sun is more usually found on the hands of public characters such as orators, actors, statesmen, etc., and is the indication of some supreme effort being made that will crown the work with fame and glory (G, Fig. 1).
The second commencement of the Line of Life is the one that appears to lie level between the Mounts of Jupiter and Mars (A, Fig. 1). This is the most usual of the three types. As a rule it shows a stronger early commencement—unless of course it appears in the form of islands or even a chain—a childhood that is stronger and more robust. This type of Life Line usually takes a wider curve round the Mount of Venus than the others, and if it continues clear and well defined to the end it is a good promise of a robust healthy constitution.
As every line partakes of the nature of the Mount on which it rises, so the Life Line rising from the Mount of Mars indicates a life fretted by the quarrelsome and irritable tem¬perament of the subject (D, Fig. 1).
It is a curious characteristic of this Mars governed Life Line that the subject is continually running into danger as if fascin¬ated by it. Children with such a sign should be carefully guarded against having firearms or explosives or weapons of any kind as they will cause injury to themselves or other people.

Travel lines from the Line of Life
Lines indicating travel or voyages are found in two positions ON the hand—one the fine lines dropping or coming out of the Line of Life in a downward direction (A, Fig. 2), and those fine line in a horizontal position on the lower part of the Mount of Luna (B, Fig. 2).
In some hands travel lines are not shown it all although the subject is much travelled. In most cases this is due to the person not being in any way influenced by the travel he undertakes.

Fig.2
To sailors, travel or voyages become so monotonous and so much a matter of course that it is often impossible to find any trace of them when, however, the Line of Life itself divides towards the end and the outer or Travel Line is seen more distinctly marked than the main Line of Life, then the person will leave his native country or direction of place of birth and settle in some opposite part of the world (C, Fig. 2).
If the Line of Life remains the stronger and sweeps back to a position underneath where it started, then the person may live abroad at different times for long periods and yet in the end return to the homeland or in the direction of the place of birth (D, Fig- 2)

When these travel lines from the Line of life end in an island, the voyage or travel will end in disappointment or unsuitable conditions (A, Fig. 3). If the Line of Travel ends in a distinct cross on the Mount of Luna or even pointing in the direction of a cross, it indicates disaster during the voyage and is generally considered the mark of drowning or fatality at sea (B, Fig. 3).
A Travel Line with a square at the end of it or with a dis¬tinct triangle is a sign of preservation in accidents by travel. It may be found on the hands of people who travel a great deal if the travel, voyage or change of place affects them mentally.

Naturally water represents only one of the hazards of travel, as accidents can happen when travelling by train, airplane or road.
Another mark of accident is when short deep lines apparently descend from or under the Mount of Saturn and appear to cut through the Line of Life.
A square or a triangle at any of these points of danger is in itself preservation against the evil effects of such accidents.
A dent or hole or spot in the Life line is the indication that some shock has injured the vitality at that moment of life. These indentations may, however, be caused by the effect of some sudden illness that may be brought on as a result of an accident.
The Nature of the line
In some cases it will be noticed that this inner line proceeds for a certain distance fairly close to the outer Life Line, and then retreats from it or leaves the outer line at a certain period. This in itself is an indication that the vitality has in some way or another been undermined, and that the person is no longer able to throw off any illnesses that may be indicated.
This inner Life Line may also show the reverse of all this, for in advancing down the hand it may run closer to the Life Line instead of bending away from it. It can also be found cutting through the Line of Life and passing outwards to the lower part of the Mount of Luna, or sending a branch line in that direction (C, Fig. 4). On a soft hand or one indicating a weak will, this is a very dangerous sign as it indicates a craving for violent excitement obtainable through over-indulgence in alcohol and sometimes in drugs.

When the Line of Life appears to be made up of links like a chain it is a sure sign of low vitality and delicacy, particularly if found on a soft hand (A, Fig. 4). When such a line is seen it is very necessary to notice if what is called the double Life Line appears running by its side inside the Line of Life (B, Fig. 4).
This double Life Line appears to protect the outer life Line by the added vitality that it indicates, and I have seen the most delicate people live to a very great age if the inner Life Line is well marked on the right hand. This inner Life Line should be very seriously considered before predicting illness or death.

When the Life Line is found broken in the left hand and either joined or overlapping in the right, it threatens some dangerous illness at that date.
If broken in both hands and there is a gap between the ends of the line, or, worse still, one branch, the upper, curls back on the Mount of Venus, there is hardly any chance that a person will recover from the illness at that period (A, Fig. 5).

When a Line of Life is found with chain formation at its commencement under the first finger, delicate health in the early years is clearly foreshadowed, but if the line becomes clear of this link or chain formation, as it proceeds, it shows that complete recovery from these earlier illnesses may be promised (B, Fig. 5).

Fig. 6
When the Line of Life appears closely interwoven with that of the Line of Head it will be found that the subject is ex¬tremely sensitive about all things regarding self—the feelings easily hurt because they are so self-centered. If this sign is much accentuated the subject should be encouraged to fight against the foregoing defects and to endeavor to develop more self-confidence and wider interests (A, Fig. 6).
When there is a distinct medium space found between the Line of Life and line of Head, there appears to be more freedom for the carrying out of plans and ambitions. There is, however, less caution in the character, and more inclination to act on impulse (B, Fig. 6).

If, however, the space is found to be abnormally wide it is an indication of too much self-confidence, and inclines the subject to be foolhardy, impetuous, and inclined to run un¬usual risks. The life is not guided by reason or caution (C, Fig. 6).
We will now come to the most unusual sign of all, which is that of the Life and Headlines together with the line of Heart being all connected together (A, Fig. 7). In such a case it indicates the nature of an extremist.
Such people are inclined to be unfortunate where their affections are concerned- They usually love the wrong person, or those who have what may he called "tangled lives'. They espouse the cause of the 'underdog', and stick with the utmost tenacity to what they believe to be their duty to those who have established a claim on their affections.

As a general rule such people love hut once in all their life, and that once contains all the elements of tragedy. The above remarks are all the more emphasized if the Line of fate should be found rising from the Mount of Venus (A, Fig. 8), or tied down as it were by the Fate and Life Lines being joined together (B, Fig. 8).
If the lines of Life, Head and Heart are found joined on the left hand as shown (A, Fig. 7), but normal in the right, the subject has started with the tendencies described but changed his disposition as he advanced in life. Should the reverse be the case the subject has developed the qualities described.

Another variation of the three lines being joined together is shown in C, Fig. 10. In this the Head and Heart Line* appear as one straight mark across the palm, and at the same time are both joined to the commencement of the Line of Life.
It is as if the person concentrated both head and heart on the one thing that concerned him. If it is love, then all the desires of the life, heart, and brain are as one.
If it is purpose, then the heart nature is subservient to the mentality.
