Human hand – Trailblazer of Human Civilization – Part 28

The line of Apollo or Sun has no fixed point of origin nor is it found in all hands.

The Sun Line is found rising from various points in the hand. In most cases, it rises from the plain of Mars. It also rises from the Life line and Mounts of Luna and Mars. In some hands, this line ends high up on the Mount of Sun and in some other cases it does not reach the Mount.

Some well-known palmists say that the Sun line should be looked on as a sister line of the Fate Line or a second line to the latter. Palmists generally agree that that the Sun line cannot exert its influence if there is no fate line.

The points of origin of the Sun line as observed by competent palmists are as follows:
1) Mount of Venus
2) Life line
3) Mount of Mars
4) Head line
5) Mount of Moon or Luna
6) The wrist (near bracelets rascettes)
7) Mount of Mercury
8) Heart line
General indications

The Sun line indicates the capabilities, fame, intellect, artistic aptitudes and the financial prosperity of the subject. The length of the line determines the extent and duration of its influence. The longer the line the more effective it is.

The character of the Sun line
The clearness, depth and evenness indicate the strength of the qualities of the line.

Broad and shallow and chained lines signify the defects of the line. Breaks indicate setbacks in the career. If the line ends in a Dot, it points to loss of reputation. Ending in a star indicates brilliant success.

A deep bar or a cross terminating the line reveals an insurmountable obstacle at the close of life. The line ending in a square is favourable for it signifies the protection of the subject from all troubles indicated by the defects of the line. The line ending in a fork tells that the subject is highly talented and his skills cover many disciplines. A well-marked trident or a star ending the line tells of wealth and fame achieved through the use of talent and intellect.
