Saturn excessively developed, also the mount of Moon large. The former would show general depression of spirits and occasional mania, and the latter would show love of solitude, restlessness, brain sickness, and madness; the mount of Apollo being small, would render the person careless of this present existence and hence suicidal tendencies.
An affected person has long and slender fingers, with the first joints of philosophy well developed and Jupiter's mount large; these persons are also mean, cowardly, and deceitful unless the thumb is strong and the Head line clear.
Yes, a tendency for hereditary madness is shown by a very long and sloping Head line, a star on the mount of Saturn and a poor Health line. The Head line split through its entire length and ending on the mount of Moon with a star, also indicates danger of mental aberration. When a line from the Head line reaches to Jupiter's mount, and the Fate line turns and loses itself in that line, it shows danger of madness through exaggerated pride and self-love.
When the Head line leans towards Mercury's mount and Mercury's mount is flat but covered with lines, when the mounts of Mars and Moon are full, and the joints well developed you find all the qualifications for a quarrelsome woman; more especially so, if the finger nails are short and wide. If the first phalange of the thumb is long there will be power to control the hasty nature, but the tendencies are there nevertheless. In a man, the Elementary type of hand with a large development of Mars and a large heavy palm shows quarrelsomeness.
A high mount of Moon, Head line drooping low on the mount of moon with red points on the line. A short thumb, and the inside of the fingers having a sunken or shrivelled-up appearance; these signs are made all the more sure when the Head line is separated from the Life line, but the space between being filled up with small lines.
A twisted Head line, its colour very red, the joints well developed, a grille on Mercury's mount, small lines running from the third phalange of Mercury's finger to its mount, a deep line like a scar on the mount itself and the whole hand dry and thin.
The fingers are smooth and pointed, the third phalanges fatty and having the appearance of being swollen, the hand white and the palm strong. This subject will have a very sensitive yet artistic nature, will be endowed with a great amount of sex magnetism, especially if Venus is largely developed, and consequently will be capable of exerting a dangerous influence over the opposite sex, but will desire no exertion except that which will assist him to gratify his selfish and sensual desires; although he could not take pleasure in any but refined and artistic society.
A very red hand, or of a livid colour: if red, the murder would arise from a fit of fury; if livid, then the murder would most likely be premeditated as it would arise from an intensely evil and cruel mind. The first phalange of the finger of Mercury heavily lined, Head line deep, with a circle on it, but twisted and probably joined to the Heart line but separated from the Life line, and the Life line thick and spotted red at its commencement. When all these signs are present it is a sure indication of a murderous nature.
The signs relied upon by Palmists, like those of all other branches of character reading with nature in a normal, not in an abnormal condition: but when abnormal conditions are present, nature always finds some means of manifesting her powers, as in the Case of a person who has lost one eye, the other becomes unusually strong, and the man who possesses only one leg has double the usual amount of strength in it; and when the nervous fluid has only one hand in which to register the workings of the mind and the experience of the individual it is only natural that the one hand becomes doubly expressive: certainly it requires more tact, skill and study on the part of the Palmist, but it has been successfully done many times, and if in itself very interesting. The experience of the writer goes to prove that in such cases the Fate line becomes more than usually expressive, and that events which are present or close at hand are shown by bright redness of the lines, those to come are marked by deep but pale lines; whilst the lines indicating past events are pale and much more in distinct: thus the past, present and future are shown in the one hand.
This method of reading the palm o f a one-handed person holds good, whether the individual was born with only one hand, had lost the hand some years previous to the reading, or possessed the other hand in a paralysed condition (for a paralysed hand cannot indicate the workings of the mind in as much as the electricity, which is the connecting link has been cut of by the paralysis; but it does not hold good in the case of a person who has recently lost a hand.
At first, to many it may appear so, but on reasoning the matter out it will be seen to be just the reverse. Palmistry does not positively state that a certain thing must happen, but points out what the tendencies are, and what will probably occur if events and circumstances are left to themselves. Man is a free agent, and is endowed with a free will, not always subject to fatalism, therefore be can over rule and guide the circumstances and events of his life to a great extent, although he cannot alter all the circumstances connected with his dealings with others.
