It may rise from and out of the Line of Life (2-2, [Plate XI].), straight up from the wrist (1-1, [Plate XI].), from the Mount of the Moon (3-3, [Plate XI].), or from the middle of the palm.
The following is the meaning of these principal positions:
RISING FROM THE LINE OF LIFE
Rising from the Line of Life (2-2, [Plate XI].), the subject's success will be made by personal effort and merit; the early years of such a Fate will be cramped and difficult; circumstances and the early surroundings will not be favourable, and such people will be greatly hampered or sacrificed to the wishes and plans of their parents or relatives. If the Line of Fate, however, should run on clear and strong from where it leaves the Line of Life, then the subject will overcome all such difficulties and win success by his own personal effort and merit, and not depend on what is termed luck at any time in the career.
Another striking and important point is that the date or years marked on the Line of Fate of such a breaking out into the palm, will be found to coincide with the year in the subject's life in which he asserted his independence or launched out into what he more particularly wanted to do. (See also end of chapter on Time, page [112].)
In any case this date as indicated will be found to be one of the most important in his career.[1]
[1] For how to obtain dates and years see Chapter [XIX].
RISING FROM THE WRIST
When the Line of Fate rises from the Wrist (1-1, [Plate XI].) and goes straight up the centre of the palm to the Mount of Saturn, provided at the same time the Line of Sun (4-4, [Plate XI].) is found well marked, luck, brilliance, and success will attend the Destiny, and extreme good fortune may be anticipated.
