They are strongly inclined to be religious and generally bring their religious views into all they do. They are in danger of becoming too fanatical, and when opposed, they become extremely obstinate, dogmatic, and hard to manage.
Heavy responsibility for others suits them best of all, especially if such responsibility lies in the form of government work, or in some position of management.
HEALTH
These people usually worry themselves into bad health. They overwork themselves and bring on nervous breakdowns, palpitation and weakness of the heart, and often paralysis. They suffer with the nerves of the stomach, acidity of the blood, rheumatism, liver complaints, and gout. They are particularly liable to meet with accidents to the feet, ankles, and limbs.
They should be very guarded when travelling by water, for they seldom get through life without sooner or later experiencing grave danger of drowning.
CHAPTER XII
THE MOUNT OF VENUS AND ITS MEANING
The portion of the palm under the base of the Thumb and inside the Line of Life is called the Mount of Venus ([Plate VI]., Part II.).
When well-formed and not too large, it denotes a desire for love and companionship, the desire to please, worship of beauty in every form, the artistic and emotional temperament, and it is usually very prominent in the hands of all artists, singers, and musicians.
