LIFE
-------
The division of the Life line begins at the starting of the line under the finger
ofJupiter and ends at the rascette; the intereving sections recording all the
various years of the life. For convenience and to facilitate quickness in reading
the line, I divide it in the centre, fixing that point as the age 36, which
is approximately one half of 70. The space above this central point I divide
into the ages 4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and the portion of the line after the central
point to read as ages 43, 51, 60, and 70. To reach a date as close as a year,
it is necessary to subdivide the line between ages 4 and 70 into periods, each
representing one years, and mark the space on the line, as few can so accurately
gauge it with the eye. With a little practice you can recognize where the ages
4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 43, 51, 60 and 70 are marked on the line, and learn
to read these ages quickly and accurately.
HEART AND HEAD
--------------
REading periods of time on the lines of the Heart and Head is often useful in
order to see whether events marked on them fit into conditions seen on the
Life line.
They begin under the finger of Jupiter and their course is across the hand.
As these two line mave many variation in the direction they pursue, I have
found it best to use an imaginary line beginning in the middle of the Mount
of Jupiter nad running across the hand to the percussion as a guide to
measure by. On this imaginary line I lay out the periods of 6, 12, 18, 24,
30, 36, 43, 51, 60, and 70, and when anything is to to read on the heart or
Head line, note under which of these periods it lies, and this is found to be
the proper age. If closer dates are required mark the Heart or Head line into
spaces representing single years, and proceed as directed in the use of the
Life line.
[The space inbetween the middle 2 fingers corresponds to 33]
Saturn Line
Age on the line of Saturn is read form the bottom upward. the space form the
rascette to Head line covering the years from 0 to 30, from the line of head
(normally placed) to line of hear 30 - 45, and form line of Heart to finger
of Saturn 45 - 70 year. By remembering these three general subdivisions, you
will soon accustom yourself to quickly read the principal periods. If you wish
to read within a year, mark off the line and proceed as with the Life line.
The different directions in which the lines of Head and Heart often run
accross the hand make the location where the line of Saturn, crosses them not
always the same. If they are misplaced, producing a wide or a narrow
quadrangle, do not rely on the space betwen them as covering the ages from
30 - 45, but at once measure the entire line of Saturn for correct dates.
Divisions same as life except no 4. Start at 6 years old.
