is very sloping
towards the Mount of the Moon (6, Plate XVI.). In such a case the
imagination will run away with itself where jealousy is concerned.

When the Line of Heart is found curving downward at the base of the Mount
of Jupiter (7, Plate XVI.), it tells of a strange fatality in that
person, of meeting with great disappointment in love, and even with those
they trust in friendship. He seems to lack perception, in knowing whom to
love. His affections are nearly always misplaced or never returned.

These people have, however, as a rule, wonderfully kind, affectionate
dispositions. They have little pride about whom they love and they
generally marry beneath their station in life.

A Line of Heart made up like a chain, or by a crowd of little lines
running into it, denotes flirtations and inconstancy in the love nature,
and seldom has any lasting affection.

A Line of Heart from Saturn in holes or links like a chain, especially
when it is broad, denotes an absolute contempt for the subject's opposite
sex. It is one of the signs of mental degeneration as far as love is
concerned.

When this Line is pale and broad, without any depth, it denotes a nature
_blase_ and indifferent with no depth of affection.

When very low down on the hand, almost touching the Line of Head, the
heart will always interfere with the affairs of the head.

When it lies very high on the hand and the space is narrowed only by the
Head Line being abnormally high and out of its place, it indicates the
reverse of the above, and that the affairs of the heart are ruled by the
head. Such persons are extremely calculating in all matters of love.

When only one deep, straight line is found across the hand from side to
side, the two lines both Head and Heart appear to blend together. This
denotes an intensely self-concentrated nature. If such a subject loves,
he unites with it all the forces of his mind, and if he put his mind on
any subject, he throws his whole heart and soul into whatever it may be
(Plate VI.).

These people are also terribly head-strong and self-willed in all they
do. They do not seem to know what fear means in any sense--they are
dangerous lovers and husbands to trifle with, for they will stop at
nothing if their blood is once roused.

They are also dangerous to themselves. They rush blindly into danger, and
they usually meet with terrible accidents and injuries, and very often
suffer a violent death (_see_ also page 29).
