U a good way a part it is an indication of ago-a head nature, too much self-confidence, impulse and rashness; a fool hardy person whose life is governed by egotism rather than by reason or intelligence. It is good, however, for persons in public life such as actors, lecturers, etc., to possess the sign, because it enables them to be prompt in action and confident of success: but it also needs a well de­veloped thumb to keep steady the impulse, and it would be well for anyone possessing this sign at all distinct to sleep before giving their opinion or deciding upon any thing .

If the line is only just a part from the Life line it indicates energy and ability to carry out the dictates of ambition, also power to govern and command; if the band is otherwise good, such a person may be certain of success; he will rise in the world, for he possesses sufficient faith in himself to enable him to succeed in his own undertakings, and yet is not above receiving hints and advice from others. a Head line that is weak and yet separate from the Life line indicates a poor intellect, but over confidence, also a deceitful, envious and jealous nature; some writers assert it a sign of a tendency to weak sight, but I have not verified this. If the Head line be separated from the Life line but connected by branches, it shows a good amount of self confidence and intelligence but want of tact, producing impulsiveness in action and es­pecially in speech, with a bad temper. When the Head line is connected to the Life line by small lines in the form of a cross , it is an indication of domestic trouble, and if the rest of the hand be good it betrays a tendency to too rapid con­clusions on things of an important nature: if the mount of Mars or Saturn be well developed also, audacity and enthu­siasm will be the result.
