If projecting small branches to the mount of Jupiter, it promises honors.
If there it be naked and simple, it is a sign of poverty and want.
If cutting the mouth of Jupiter, cruelty of mind and disposition, with excessive wrath.
If it projects a branch between the fore and middle finger in a gentleman, it threatens a wound in his head; in a lady, danger in child bearing.
Three lines ascending upwards from this line, viz., one to the space between the middle and fore finger, a second to the space between the middle and ring finger, and a third to the space between the ring and the little finger, argues a contentious person in many respects.
A little line only thus drawn to the interval or space between the middle finger and the ring finger, sorrow or labor.
If annexed to the natural mean, so that it makes an acute angle, it brings sorrow and labor.
If the natural mean be wanting, and the thoral annexed to the vital, it threatens decollation or a deadly wound.
If no mensa at all, it shows a man malevolent, contentious, faithless, inconstant and of base condition.
