On the mount of Jupiter it promises gratified ambition and good luck; if a cross accompanies it an honourable marriage may be looked for; on Saturn it is a very bad sign, showing a fatality from violence: this sign is usually seen on the hands of murderers and assassins. On the mount of Apollo it indicates excessive celebrity, and when the line of Fortune is good and there are some lines on the mount, the shir is a pure indication of wealth; but if the line of Fortune is absent it is an indication of wealth without the happiness to enjoy it: seen on Mercury the star indicates a tendency to theft and dishonesty; and on Mars it shows a violent nature and
great danger of the violence leading to homicide. On the mount of Moon a large star shows a hypocritical nature, hysteria and misfortune arising from a too active imagination; but if it is small and clear, it is a sign of the love of mystery and reverie; on a Voyage line, a star indicates danger of death by drowning. A star on the mount of Venus is a sign of a single love, but unless accompanied by other signs of a happy union, it shows that the love is in vain and the life rained in consequence; if at the base of the mount it is an indication of misfortune through the opposite sex. When a line is attached to a star on the mount of Venus it shows disaster and sorrow according to the length and direction of the line, but these lines are dealt with under the head of Lines on the mount of Venus."
