The
Ring of Saturn is a line which rises between the fingers of Jupiter and Saturn,
encircles the finger of Saturn, and terminates between the finger of Saturn
and Apollo, thus crossing the Mount of Saturn completely (545). Sometimes it
makes a perfect circle, and often it is composed of a couple of lines which
cross on the Mount of Saturn. In many cases the circle is not entirely completed,
but the ends will show that they form part of an imperfect Ring of Saturn (546).
The presence of this line shows a disposition to jump from one occupation to
another, and not to stick to any one long enough to make it successful. There
is a lack of continuity of purpose in a subject having this marking, and poor
success in their undertakings is the usual result. While this line, per
se, does not make failure in life a necessity, it is to be seen on a great
many hands where the lives have been unsuccessful. I have observed it on the
hands of a number of suicides. as the Ring of Saturn, it forms a barrier to
the Current at that point. This makes the Mount of Saturn defective, shuts out
its wisdom seriousness, and balancing qualities, and turns them into defects.
These subjects will either develop into bad Saturnians, often reaching the stage
where they stop at no crime or else as the balance-wheel is gone, they shift
from one thing to another, with no continuity in any direction, until their
lives are total failures. If in such cases the upper Mount of Mars be deficient,
thumb small, and Mercury line defective, especially if showing islands or a
star, the subject will give way to discouragement, and become either insane
or commit suicide. Soft or flabby hands, vacillating Headline, weak thumbs,
poor Mounts of Mars, or a large Mount of Moon are all poor companions for the
Ring of Saturn.
- If with a
Ring of Saturn the Head line slopes low on to a Mount of Moon which is large
or grilled, or low on to a Mount of Moon which is large or grilled, or both,
the subject will be imaginative in the extreme, flighty, restless, chargeable,
and will make nothing of themselves. Often defects and obstructions in the line
of Saturn, with the Ring of Saturn present, will show that the career of the
subject has been ruined because of their lack of continuity of purpose. The
Apollo line will frequently be similarly affected. When searching the hand for
the cause of some disaster or impediment which we see marked, the presence of
a Ring of Saturn will often furnish us an explanation. As vacillation is indicated
by a broken or islanded Head line, the Ring of Saturn with such a Head line
will intensify the changeable character of the subject. Such a combination with
a defective Saturn line will furnish an explanation of the impediments in that
line. A similar combination will affect in the same manner a defective line
of Apollo. The Lunarian, being the most changeable of all the types, will be
made much more so by a Ring of Saturn. It is hardly possible for such a subject
to obtain enduring success. if the Ring of Saturn does not completely circle
the Mount but is broken, it is not as unfavorable a marking as if it completed
its course. In this case some outlet will be left for the Current, and the Mount
of Saturn will not be made so defective. Even with this imperfect ring, however,
there is a degree of its defect present, the subject having at least a tendency
in that direction, and in a final estimate this fact must not be lost sight
of. When the Ring of Saturn is composed of two lines which cross each other
on the Mount of Saturn (547), it must be read in the same manner as a large
cross on that Mount. This marking I have seen on several suicides.
Whenever the Ring of Saturn
is seen in a hand, it should warn you of a grave danger to the subject. Knowing
its meaning, be ready to search for all indications that may help them to overcome
the vacillation which may ruin them. Apply Chirognomy, study their type and
everything the lines can tell bearing on the subject of changeability of temperament.
A strong will phalanx on the thumb with a good Head line are the best companions
for a Ring of Saturn. With all the facts in your possession, you should be able
to tell just how much influence the Ring of Saturn will exert upon any subject.
