If this character ⊕ appears in or near the fork it gives riches and honours by means of ingenuity and arts.
The Line of Fortune.
This line is also called the Table line. This line, when it is long enough and without incisures, argues a due strength in the principal members of man and denotes constancy. Judge the contrary if this line be short or crooked or is severed. When this line terminates under the mount of Saturn, it shows a vain and lying fellow.
If it projects small branches unto the mount of Jupiter, it produces honours. Should this be a simple line on the mount of Jupiter, and void of any good marks or branches, it is a sign of poverty and want.
If it severs the mount of Jupiter, cruelty of mind and excessive wrath.
If it throws a branch between the forefinger and the middle, it threatens to a man a wound in the head, but to a woman danger in child-bearing.
A small line running from the line of Fortune to the space between the middle and ring finger, denotes sorrow and labour.
A line passing from the Liver line to the line of Fortune, forming an acute angle, brings sorrow and labour.
Should there be no Liver line and the line of Fortune connected by a small line to the line of Life, it threatens a deadly wound.
The absence of the line of Fortune shows a malevolent, contentious, faithless, inconstant person and of base conditions.
