The Ring of Saturn.
This line is a defective mark on the Mount of Saturn and shows that the person cannot respond to their instinct for security and is consequently unable to be successful at anything. No matter how much they may want to succeed on a conscious level, a deep-seated or subconscious desire to fail prevents them from achieving any of their goals.
They either set their ambitions unrealistically high or, at the moment of success, allow some minor incident to stand in their way and prevent them from succeeding.
Line of Intuition.
Indicates an energy flow between the Mounts of Mercury and Luna and shows the person has an instinctive feeling for the true nature of those they come into contact with. Without quite knowing how they do it, they will find that they can instantly sense other peoples’ real mood and tell whether or not they are sincere in what they are saying. It is not generally an ability the person is consciously aware of, but when lied to, even by an expert in the art of deception, they automatically begin to feel uncomfortable and uneasy.
Teacher’s square.
Reputed to show talent as a teacher, the major problem with this and other minor lines on the hand is that there is, as yet, no clear understanding of the psychological or psychiatric disposition which would incline a person towards a particular career. In this case, as the square is found on the Mount of Jupiter, it strengthens the desire for control and consequently indicates that the person wishes to be influential and impress their, or their societies ideas and beliefs on other people.
As teaching is one of the most effective ways of achieving this aim, it is quite reasonable to expect a number of teachers to have this mark on their hand.
Ring of Solomon.
Traditionally this line was reputed to show someone who was a master in one of the occult sciences, but more modern authors have tended to refer to it as showing a talent for psychology. However, the psychological inclinations that would result in a person becoming interested in psychology or one of the occult sciences are
presently not understood.
As many people develop an interest in the occult because they are looking for something and many good psychologists initially took up their profession because they were aware of their own psychological deficiencies, it is theoretically possible that this line indicates some kind of psychological or emotional difficulty which relates to the Jupiterian desires for dominance or control.
