q:

What is the meaning of a line from the mount of Venus into the palm?

a:

If this line goes merely to the Head line it is a sign of trouble relating to money affairs and caused by relatives; if, however, it goes to the Heart line it indicates that relations are the cause of trouble in love affairs which prove unhappy; and if there is an island on the Heart line near the Life line, this worry line indicates serious con­sequences as the result of the affections; but if these signs are on the left hand and not on the right, the evil may be averted if the subject be on

q:

What is the meaning of many lines on the mount of Venus?

a:

When the lines are of a good colour they show a. Strong sexual magnetic nature, a strong passionate tempera­ment and a probably impure life from the abundance of vi­tality; but if the rest of the hand is good, the bad tenden­cies are held in check, and the signification is then a warn a heart and general good nature; if the lines are pale the nervous system is weak, also the lungs and chest.

q:

What does the mount of Venus indicate when without lines?

a:

This shows a cold chaste nature and a probable short or delicate life, because Venus well developed (especially the lower part near the wrist) shows an abundance of vitality, and an unlined mount has the same significance as a small one.

q:

When is the Moon's influence most unfavourable?

a:

When the mount of Moon is large, the Head line forked and the mount of Apollo covered with a Grille: the nature is then an envious, slanderous one; there is a want of modest, too much presumption, and yet a lack of courage to fight against the evil effects of a too active imagination.

q:

What is the meaning of a grille on the Moon's mount?

a:

It is a bad omen and ill health is sure to be experienced; and when the Ring of Venus is also present it shows an in­crease of sensitiveness, which causes the system to be in a constant state of nervous irritation; such persons are fre­quently sad and melancholy without any cause, and are apt to magnify danger and trouble to such an extent as to render themselves invalids.

q:

What is the meaning of a star on the Moon's mount?

a:

This is a sign of danger of death by drowning: more especi­ally if on or at the end of a Voyage line. A Circle on the same place has also the same signification.

q:

What is the meaning of a line straight from the Moon's mount to the mount of Mercury?

a:

q:

What is the meaning of cross bars on the mount of Moon?

a:

These are indications of a worrying nature, always looking for and expecting danger: it gives the saddest side of an active imagination which would be otherwise harmless;  if the Heart line is good in combination with these cross lines on the Moon's mount, the worries are for loved ones, or for affection's sake; if the mount of Jupiter is rayed the worry comes from disappointed ambition; if Mercury's mount is rayed the worry is caused by great anxiety on business matters; but if Mars mount be

q:

What is the meaning of many lines or rags on the mount of Moon?

a:

It is a sign of a very sensitive nature, pos­sessing vivid instincts or intuitional powers, warnings, pre­sentiments of evil, dreams, clairvoyant gifts, and often som­nambulism; and this power is greatly increased if a line from the Moon's mount goes direct to the mount of Saturn (not the Fate line starting on the mount of Moon but an extra line), or if the Croix Mystique in the Quadrangle is clearly devel­oped and the finger tips are pointed.
