Double Lines Of Fate

When the Line of Fate is itself double, it is a sign of
what is called “a double life,” but if, after running side by side for
some length these two lines join or become one, it foretells that “the
double life” has been caused by some great affection, that circumstances
prevented a union, but that the preventing cause will be removed at the
point where these two lines join.

When, however, a double Line of Fate is clearly marked, especially if
they incline towards different mounts of the hand, such a mark indicates
that two careers would be carried out simultaneously–one perhaps as a
hobby and the other as the principal career.

When the Line of Fate is extremely faint or just barely traced through
the palm, it will be found to indicate a general disbelief in the idea of
Fate and Destiny. It is often found on the hands of very materialistic
persons, those who rebel against the idea that they are governed in any
way by Fate or by any power save themselves.

When this is found, and at the same time a good clear Line of Head, such
people will be sure to win success by their mentality alone, but the
details of their destiny will not be able to be told, and one must
content oneself with chiefly describing their characteristics,
peculiarities, etc.

When no Line of Fate whatever is found and only a very ordinary Line of
Head, then there will be nothing very particular to say about the
Destiny; such people, as a rule, lead very colourless lives, nothing
seems to affect them much one way or the other, and they will be found to
have very little purpose to illumine the drab monotony of their
existence.

An island is an extremely bad sign to find in the Line of
Fate.

When found at the very beginning of the line it
indicates some mystery regarding the commencement of such careers, such
as illegitimate birth.

THE LINE OF DESTINY, ISLANDS, AND OTHER SIGNS

An island, when found on a woman’s hand connecting the Fate Line with the
Mount of Venus, is an almost certain indication of her seduction

An island in any part of the Plain of Mars indicates a period of great
difficulty, loss in one’s career, and in consequence, generally loss of
money.

An Island on the Fate and Head Lines together means loss also, but more
brought on by the person’s own stupidity or lack of intelligence.

An island over the Fate and Heart Lines indicates loss and trouble
connected with affairs of the heart or brought about by the affections.

An island on the Mount of Saturn or towards the end of the Line of Fate
foreshadows that the career will finish in poverty and
despair.

When the Line of Fate finishes suddenly with a cross, some great fatality
may be expected, but when the cross is found on the Fate Line and on the
Mount of Saturn, the ending of such a Destiny will be some terrible
tragedy, generally one of public disgrace and public death.
