q:

What is the meaning of branches from the Rascette to other parts of the hand?

a:

A line from the percussion side of the Rascette over the mount of Moon indicates a voyage, the length of which is according to the duration of the line: if this line goes up to the mount of Jupiter the voyage is a long and happy one; if to the mount of Saturn without touch­ing it the journey will be one from which no return is made:  if the Voyage line goes to the Life line, it is a sign of probable death on the voyage, especially if shown on both hands.

q:

What does the first line of the Rascelle indicate when chained?

a:

If the first line is good but chained and the others are not, it indicates a long life of labour but good fortune in old age as the result of it; if the line is a badly formed one and also chained, it indicates a careless and extravagant, though hard working nature.

q:

What effect has a good Rascette on a weak Life line?

a:

This shows a strengthening of the life forces, so that to read a person's hand properly the Rascette ought to be studied before giving judgment on the Life line.

q:

What is the meaning of the lines forming the Rascette being marked clearer in one hand than in the other?

a:

If the lines on the left hand are better formed than those on the right, it is a sign that opportunities have been wasted, talents hidden and the career of the subject spoilt by the wrong exercise of his own will: or in other words, there is more capacity than has been used.

What does the line of Intuition indicate?

a:

It indicates the possession of clair voyant gifts, love of occult tilings, pre­monitions, visions, somn ambulistic tendencies; it is a rare line, and though choice, yet in the hands of a bad person it is capable of being used for bad purposes.
