ne of Head
has not risen out of its position, but simply denotes tremendous
intensity of character, for good or evil as the case may be; such a
person would exhibit great power of concentration, and if he concentrated
his mentality on any purpose he would unite with it his heart nature.
But if he had set his heart or affections on any person, he would unite
with that desire the whole force of his mental nature. In this case it is
as if these two sides of the mentality, the sentimental and the mental,
were linked or in some way united together. Such persons I have always
found possess greater intensity of purpose than any other, but I have
never found it a very happy mark to possess.

[Illustration: PLATE VI.

THE LINE OF HEAD AND THE LINE OF HEART RUNNING TOGETHER.]

In the first place, this peculiar type of person appears to be so rare in
life that he seems to have no companions and for that reason has always
the feeling of being intensely lonely and isolated from others. He is
usually also in every way super-sensitive and easily wounded in his
feelings. I have seldom found these people successful, unless when acting
alone, but if linked with others by partnership in business, etc., they
seem to feel their personality cramped, and the partnership as a rule
seldom results happily. In considering this, the student must carefully
observe whether this one line across the hand lies across the centre
where the Head Line would naturally be, or whether it lies higher up
towards the base of the fingers where the Heart Line is generally found.
If the former case, one may be sure that it is a question of head and
mentality and very little heart; but if the latter, it is a question of
more intensity of feeling emotion and affection than of mental intensity.

CROSSES AND SQUARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE LINE OF HEAD

Small, sharply-defined crosses in any position just over or touching the
Line of Head are generally signs of accidents to the Head itself.

_Under Jupiter_ (1, Plate VII.), they usually are brought about by blows
caused generally by the subject's desire to rule and to be too dogmatic
or tyrannical.

_Under Saturn_ (2, Plate VII.), crosses indicate injuries to the head
from accidents by animals, blows by treachery, mine explosions, etc., and
generally relate to accidents of a treacherous nature.

_Under the Mount of the Sun_ (3, Plate VII.), these crosses have been
found to relate to accidents to the head from s
