Palmistry question and answers

This is a sign of much labour and a need for perseverance, for much difficulty has to be overcome; but if the Head line is clear, success will be obtained through the intellect, rather than by fate or fortune, although it will be rather late in life.

It indicates a painful and troubled life, with many obstacles to be overcome, especially if the Fate line enters the finger of Saturn; success, however, is ultimately achieved if the line is clear and unbroken.

Because the wishes of friends and parents having been followed when the individual first started out in life, he has been hindered from striking into new paths and using his talents to the fullest extent: thus his fate has become differ­ent or inferior from what it would otherwise have been.

If it starts low down on the Life line, it indi­cates that “Fate” or destiny is so fully in the hands of the subject, that success will only come after trying for it: this success, however, will be considerable if the Fate line goes straight and clear on to the mount of Saturn.

This is an indication that the happiness and prosperity of the individual will come chiefly from the influ­ence, whims and caprices of the opposite sex: this does not always mean money, but silent influence, or perhaps mere association which has the effect of arousing latent ambition and energy.

No, it only shows good or bad fortune: the nature of such things must be looked for in other parts of the hand; there is however, generally a con­necting line indicating from what direction the good or bad fortune will come.
