and in their higher development that of an eagle with its head
pointing upwards to the sky.

Such symbols perfectly illustrate the dual nature of the type under
consideration. In their lower aspect no type can be more vicious or
harmful, even to wounding themselves and bringing about their own
destruction. In their higher form, however, there is probably no class
whose spiritual nature can, like the eagle, soar to such heights or be so
free from earthly ties.

Mars Negative people, especially when young, should above all things be
carefully brought up with good companions. They should be especially
warned to control their sex nature and be kept aloof from all perverse
persons and evil books.

As regards health, this type is usually inclined to be both slight and
delicate in their early years, but generally incline towards corpulency
after passing middle life. Both the men and women have a likelihood of
weakness or illness in the sex organs, especially in youth, also in the
kidneys and the bladder, while in advanced years the stomach and
digestive organs become disordered. All through their lives they should
be most careful and abstemious in their diet.

CHAPTER VII

THE MOUNT OF JUPITER AND ITS MEANING

The Mount of Jupiter is found at the base of the first finger (Plate VI.,
Part II.). When large, it shows desire to dominate, to rule and command
others, to lead and organise, and to carry out some distinct object. But
these good qualities will only be employed if the Line of Head is clear
and long. When this line is poor and badly formed, then a large Mount of
Jupiter gives pride, excess of vanity, a self-confident and a
self-opinionated person. But on what is known as a good well-marked hand,
there is no Mount more excellent and no surer indication of success from
sheer strength of character and purpose.

This Mount may be considered Positive when a person is found born between
November 21st and December 20th, and in a minor way until the 28th. These
persons are naturally ambitious, fearless and determined in all they
undertake, but in acting on their impulses, they generally "hit too
straight from the shoulder," or show their ambition too plainly, and so
arouse antagonism, opposition, and enmity.

They concentrate all their attention on whatever they may be doing at the
moment and see no way but their own, especially if they feel the least
opposition to their plans. They are, however, honourable and
