Mark 16:15-20 | Pieter Paul Rubens | Feast of St Mark the Evangelist

Mark 16:15-20   Feast of St Mark the Evangelist

The Four Evangelists, Painted by Pieter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), Oil on canvas, Painted in 1614 © Sanssouci Picture Gallery, Potsdam Jesus showed himself to the Eleven and said to them: ‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation. He who believes and is baptised will be saved; he who does not believe will be condemned. These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover.’ And so the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven: there at the right hand of God he took his place, while they, going out, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that accompanied it.   READ MORE     Reflection on the Painting Today we celebrate Saint Mark, the Evangelist. Rather than just illustrate a painting of Saint Mark, I am sharing a painting with you by Rubens, showing all four evangelists together, with an angel above them giving divine inspiration to compose their gospels. Of course this very event where the four of them meet, did not occur in reality. But it makes for a fascinating scene. It is sometimes called the Sacra Conversazione (sacred conversation). Each of the four evangelists are shown with their attributes: Mark: he is flanked by a winged lion at his feet, a sign of courage and monarchy (Christ the King). The lion also represents Jesus’ resurrection, as lions sleep with open eyes, a comparison with Christ in the tomb. The lion signifies that Christians should be courageous on the path of salvation. Luke: depicted with a winged ox or bull by his side. Bulls were symbolic for sacrifice, service and strength. It thus represents Jesus’s sacrifice in His Passion and Crucifixion. We as Christians should also be prepared to sacrifice ourselves in following Christ. John: symbolised by an eagle, a figure of the sky and believed to be able to look straight into the sun. It thus represents Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven, and Christ’s divine nature. We as  Christians should also remain focussed on heaven and our union with God. Matthew: he is symbolised by a winged man or an angel. Matthew's gospel starts with Joseph’s genealogy from Abraham onwards, and thus stresses the Incarnation and Christ’s human nature. Mark’s Gospel is generally accepted as the first of the four gospels. Mark begins his gospel with a simple declarative statement, “The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God”. There is no ambiguity of who Mark believes Jesus is and that simple phrase sets the tone for what is to follow… by Patrick van der Vorst

Our Turn

Our Turn April 25, 2020 Feast of St. Mark, Evangelist Mark 16: 15-20 And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." So, then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it. Introductory Prayer: Lord, thank you for taking the time to be with me. There are things in life, Lord, that attract me, but you attract me more. I hope in you because you are always faithful to your promises, and I love you. Maybe I don’t fully understand what it means to love, and maybe I don’t love the way I should, but I do love you. Petition: Lord, help me to focus on what I can do to tell others of your love. Christ: When Christ blesses, it happens. When he takes yeast and kneads it with three measures of flour, it leavens the dough all through. When he blesses the bread, it multiplies. When he blesses the Eucharist, he is there for us. Christ blesses his apostles. He also wants to bless me and my work. These are not just events of the past, for God’s word is a living word. He also wants to bless me and my work. How can I draw down Christ’s blessing upon me, my family, the people I love, and the work I do? All I have to do is ask him to bless me and believe that he can and wants to. He will take care of the rest. Apostles: Imagine the apostles talking after the Ascension. Andrew might say to Peter, “Peter, Christ told us to preach to all nations.” “You are right, Andrew, we need to go to the next town,” Peter would agree. “No,” Andrew would urge, “we have to go to Athens and Rome.” Peter might object, “Athens and Rome! But we don’t know anyone there.” In an attempt to persuade him Andrew would add, “Peter, Jesus wanted us to begin here in Jerusalem because this is the largest Jewish city. However, he has shown that he has also called the Gentiles to the Church. We must go to their capitals, their cities of greatest influence so that they too might hear the message Jesus entrusted to us.” Despite their fears, they obeyed Christ and proclaimed the good news in new places. Us: Now it is our turn. As it always has been, being an apostle today is difficult. As we get older, it gets harder. Nevertheless, it is our turn. We live at a crossroads of history. I know Christ is blessing me. He is sending me. I feel fear, but I know he is asking me to imitate the fidelity of the first apostles. He is only waiting for me to begin preaching so that he can bless all that I undertake in his name. Conversation with Christ: Lord, thank you for coming. Thank you for giving the apostles the strength to resist and persevere. Now it is my turn. Grant me the graces I need to proclaim the good news. Resolution: I live life but once. So today I will analyze how I use my time and resolve to eliminate one of the bad habits that leads me to waste time. Our Daily Meditation is also available with audio: CLICK HERE TO START LISTENING!

Our Meager Gifts to God

Our Meager Gifts to God April 24, 2020 Friday of the Second Week of Easter John 6:1-15 After this, Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near. When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?" He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Two hundred days' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little." One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?" Jesus said, "Have the people recline." Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So, the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted." So, they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world." Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone. Introductory Prayer: I come before you, Lord, poor and unworthy. Yet you welcome me with such love. With my effort during this meditation I want to make a small return on your great kindness. Petition: Lord, help me to understand the trials you send me and to value your gift of grace. The Trials of Life: The Gospel tells us that Jesus “tests” the disciples, watching the reaction they have to seemingly impossible situations. This test in the shortage of food may well have induced a panic. As the apostles looked out at the vast crowd, they felt totally inadequate in the face of such need. Perhaps in that sense, they passed the test. Christ wanted them to experience that human ingenuity alone could not be the foundation of the Church. No matter how smart the apostles or their successors are, the needs of the souls and the world will always vastly outstrip our human capacity. So, what’s the answer? There’s only one: The Lord! The Insufficient Gift: While the disciples are confused, a little boy is generous. With innocence and simplicity, he walks up with his basket. With this food, the Lord will do something wonderful. Perhaps Our Lord was thinking about this boy when he said, “Unless you become like a child, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” The disciples are being given a beautiful lesson in this trusting child: give everything over to Christ; it doesn’t matter how little it may seem to you or others — with his divine power, great things can happen with our five loaves and two fish. Let Nothing Be Wasted: It’s interesting that Our Lord sends out the disciples as a cleanup crew after this big meal. One insight that we can draw from this is the value of God’s grace. Even though the Lord’s power is infinite, we should not become complacent and view his grace as some commodity in oversupply. It is precious and should not be wasted. Yet, that would seem to be exactly what happens. We have received so many sacraments, but we are far from being saints. This speaks to us again of the marvelous patience of the Lord. Even when we don’t fully appreciate the value of his gifts, he doesn’t stop giving them. Conversation with Christ: Lord, I see the compassion in your eyes when you look out at the vast crowd. They are hungry, but I am poor and weak in the face of such need. Come to my aid! Give the grace I need to cooperate generously with you in the ongoing work of redemption. Resolution: I will be generous in helping others, trusting more in God’s grace than in myself. Our Daily Meditation is also available with audio: CLICK HERE TO START LISTENING! FORWARD TO A FRIEND

John 6:1-15 | Wilhelm Gause | Twelve Hampers with Scraps were left

John 6:1-15   Twelve Hampers with Scraps were left

Feeding the Poor, Painted by Wilhelm Gause (1853-1916), Oil on board, Painted in 1911 © Dorotheum, Vienna Jesus went off to the other side of the Sea of Galilee – or of Tiberias – and a large crowd followed him, impressed by the signs he gave by curing the sick. Jesus climbed the hillside, and sat down there with his disciples. It was shortly before the Jewish feast of Passover. Looking up, Jesus saw the crowds approaching and said to Philip, ‘Where can we buy some bread for these people to eat?’ He only said this to test Philip; he himself knew exactly what he was going to do. Philip answered, ‘Two hundred denarii would only buy enough to give them a small piece each.’ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said, ‘There is a small boy here with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that between so many?’ Jesus said to them, ‘Make the people sit down.’ There was plenty of grass there, and as many as five thousand men sat down. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and gave them out to all who were sitting ready; he then did the same with the fish, giving out as much as was wanted. When they had eaten enough he said to the disciples, ‘Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing gets wasted.’ So they picked them up, and filled twelve hampers with scraps left over from the meal of five barley loaves. The people, seeing this sign that he had given, said, ‘This really is the prophet who is to come into the world.’ Jesus, who could see they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, escaped back to the hills by himself.   READ MORE     Reflection on the Painting To place it in its context, the time that Jesus first gave food to the 5000 was when the feast of Passover was near… when it was time for the lamb to be slain to remind the people that God rescued them out of Egypt… Two years after this feeding of 5000, the Passover lamb that was to be slain, was Jesus himself… Holy Week is still fresh in our memories… Let us look at the leftovers in today’s Gospel. When Jesus feeds the 5000, there are leftovers, 12 hampers full. Everybody managed to eat plentiful and yet there is food left over. It shows how abundantly Jesus provides. He never runs out of love, never runs out of mercy, never runs out of care, never runs out of grace, never runs out of goodness to give to us… plentiful and abundantly! Staying in His presence will continue to feed us with everything we need. There will always leftovers, which we then can share with other people… At the beginning of the 20th century, when our painting was executed, more than 25% of the population in Europe were living in poverty. At least 15% were living at subsistence level. They had just enough money for food, rent, fuel, and clothes. They could not afford 'luxuries' such as newspapers or public transport. About 10% were living in below subsistence levels and could not afford an adequate diet… Our painting, challenging to look at in many ways, is colourless, all in greyish brown tonalities. So many people queuing for food… If you can’t feed a hundred people,  Then just feed one - Mother Theresa by Patrick van der Vorst

John 15:18-21 | Vasily Vereshchagin | If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too

John 15:18-21   If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too

Crucifixion in the Time of the Romans,  Painted by Vasily Vereshchagin (1842-1904),  Oil on canvas, Painted in 1887 © Christie’s London, Sale 28 November 2011, lot 41, sold £1,7 million Jesus said to his disciples: ‘If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong to the world, because my choice withdrew you from the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the words I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too; if they kept my word, they will keep yours as well. But it will be on my account that they will do all this, because they do not know the one who sent me.’   READ MORE     Reflection on the Painting ‘If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too’… words Jesus shares with us in today’s Gospel reading. Our painting shows Jesus on the cross on the right side. In direct contrast to traditional depictions of the Crucifixion which are normally placed at the very centre of the work, our Russian painter of today, Vereshchagin, positions Christ, illuminated, on the extreme right of the painting, placing the primary emphasis of the composition on the crowd… the crowds who wanted Jesus to die. We as a viewer become part of this crowd. This is especially also due the monumental size of the painting at 301 x 401.3 cm. (118½ x 158 in.). The painting masterfully depicts and interrogates the nature and behaviour of mankind. Would we have stood in the crowds as well and simply looked on, peering over the hordes of people and horses to see the spectacle? A large dark sky makes up about half the surface of the painting. Pharisees and a distraught group of Christ's supporters can be seen, women crying, Roman soldiers with their spears and lances standing ready to quieten any disorder that may arise, etc… plenty for us to look at and contemplate. The background of this painting has also to be seen in the context that pilgrimages from Russia to the Holy Land were promoted heavily and successfully at the time this was painted, to the extent that some 10,000 citizens of the Russian Empire were making this journey annually by the end of the 19th century. Not everyone accepts Jesus, which was the experience from the start, as depicted in our painting. This non acceptance led Christ to a cruel death… by Patrick van der Vorst

God From On High

God From On High April 23, 2020 Thursday of the Second Week of Easter John 3:31-36 The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. Introductory Prayer: I come before you, Lord, poor and unworthy. Yet you welcome me with such love. With my effort during this meditation I want to make a small return on your great kindness. Petition: Help me to cooperate with your greatest gift, the Holy Spirit. No Rationing: Jesus does not ration the gift of the Spirit. By and through the Holy Spirit, Christ lifts our whole life to another plane. The Lord’s generosity is amazing. Think of the Eucharist. Every time we receive the Lord, he leaves in our soul a renewal and deepening of the Holy Spirit’s presence. With every communion we are preparing our bodies and souls for the immortality of the Resurrection. Of course, such a gift invites a response. In the face of such generosity, how can we be stingy in return? A Gift of Unity: The gift of the Spirit is vital for our human relationships. Jesus’ ardent prayer at the Last Supper was for the unity of his disciples: “that they all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you” (John 17:21). For a unity like that, the Holy Spirit is absolutely indispensable. The gift of the Spirit, in order to be effective, provides the antidote for all our tendencies to disunity. The Spirit combats our pride and egotism by reminding us of Christ’s humility. He stirs up the realization that we have to live in charity and provides us with the strength to give without counting the cost. He enables us to persevere in unity. A Personal Gift: The depths of our hearts is where we ultimately experience this gift of the Spirit. But at times we feel more like a dry well than a spring of water welling up to eternal life (cf. John 4:14). The Holy Spirit is at work — in abundance — no less in the moments of dryness than in the moments of consolation. He seeks to purify us of the petty attachments that hold us back. He directs us to seek God for his own sake and not to turn to him only as a divine dispenser of spiritual candy. But still, we should await the moment of consolation with the hope-filled knowledge that the Lord is near. When we experience this consolation, we will experience confirmation that the Lord’s gift of the Spirit is unlike any other! Conversation with Christ: Lord, the Holy Spirit is the soul of Church. He is the gift you have given us with such generosity. Help us to live more in accord with this truth. Help us to be obedient when we are tempted to pride. Help us to love when we are tempted to reject. May your Holy Spirit constantly reinforce the bond that holds us together. Resolution: I will foster charity by paying special attention to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. Our Daily Meditation is also available with audio: CLICK HERE TO START LISTENING!

Fish Symbol Meaning in Indian Palm Reading

Fish symbol in Indian palm reading

A fish symbol on the palm is not easy to detect. Often this mark is mistaken or confused with other connecting lines. It is a rare sign, but one that has a deep meaning. The fish symbol is also not something that a modern palmist accepts as real palmistry.

What is the fish symbol meaning?

The fish symbol is an oblong circle with a pointed end. It often has two pointed ends. It can also look like two triangles with overlapping lines. The triangle-shaped fish symbol is more Chinese type of sign. (See below)

Sometimes there is a whorl or a dot which forms the eye of the fish. I do not usually read symbols like the fish on the hand. It is very much Indian palmistry lore.

The Meaning of the Direction of the Fish.

This line formation can be found anywhere on the hand. If the mark happens to have an eye, it’s even better. The meaning can vary slightly depending on which way the fish is facing, and on which mount it lies.

If the fish has the head towards the wrist, prosperity is after the age of around fifty. If the head points towards the fingers, the success will be earlier.

What it means when in various areas of the hand?

On the mount of Jupiter beneath the index finger, it suggests power, honour, and respect. Some regard the fish sign on the Jupiter mount as an indication of wealth, especially if the mount is well-developed. It shows leadership, a pleasant, generous and especially religious person.

Fish sing on the Saturn Mount

The symbol on the mount of Saturn (under the middle finger) can suggest success in occult sciences or philosophical matters. This individual is likely to be organized and disciplined. However, if it appears on the mount, it is also likely to be on the Saturn line/career line. If so, it shows improvement in finances whether through career, marriage or other.

Fish Symbol on the Mercury mount

Image copyrights Sari Puhakka

On the mount of Mercury (under the little finger) it points to having luck in business or career which requires excellent communication skills. It might also show sudden wealth after the age of around fifty.

The mount of Apollo under the ring finger.

If the fish symbol is on the Apollo or Sun mount, it might also be on the sun line. This type of line formation can suggest fame and or fortune, especially later in life.

The fish symbol on the Mount of Moon

On the mount of the moon, it depicts fame in a creative field. It can also mean that travel will be a part of their success. These signs at the bottom of the palm make a person more spiritual and grounded.

The fish symbol on the life line.

If the fish sign is at the end of the life line on the dominant hand, it ensures remarkable prosperity, luck or spirituality during life. At the beginning of the life line, it shows much potential and an intelligent child. In the middle of the life line it depicts struggle, but a profoundly spiritual being who tends to care much for others.

The fish symbol in general, for a man, is said to show an enormous success. In Indian palmistry, a fish symbol on a woman’s hand is auspicious, suggesting she will have good fortune. She will have children and a caring partner or husband that will outlive her. In India, it is considered bad luck for a female to be a widow, especially if she is still young. If the woman is a housewife, it suggests that the husband will be very successful financially.

A Chinese Fish Sign.

The Chinese fish sign looks more like open-ended triangles. These lines are supposed to represent a peaceful life. If the tail end crosses a finger, it indicates money. The Chinese fish symbol is most often found at the end of the life line.

Other markings on the palms

Some lines might look like a fish symbol but are not. The lines and marks we see on the palms that don’t seem to fit into any category of a line are still significant. They can indicate a warning, such as stress, or point to a sign of talent, fortune or an event. In most cases, markings on the mounts accentuate the meaning of the mount either favourably or in an undesirable way.

Star Marking

A star mark can be both good and bad. On a line, it is an unwelcome find, but on the Jupiter or Apollo mount, it reveals extraordinary talent, financial windfalls or even sudden fame. However, even these encouraging marks need to be viewed as cautionary since sudden fame or success can affect personal life. Hence keeping one’s head together and feet on the ground to ensure a more secure and happy scenario.

Some of these markings will take a meticulous eye when analysing what they mean, like whether it is a mix of other lines overlapping or one which stands on its own. The triangle is one which many misidentify because it can appear coincidentally with the crossing of central lines. If that is the case, it has no value. The triangle can also look like a fish symbol. A triangle found distinctly on its own or attached to the line is known to give karmic support, a boost of power or talent to the specific area. It is a welcome sign to diminish any existing difficulties.

Cross Mark

Crosses show barriers, adverse circumstances or sudden events and so are usually an unfavourable mark to find. The cross is independent lines and not coincidental of central lines. On any line, except for the Apollo, it suggests an obstacle that slows down the progress of something such as career, family or relationships. If you find a faint cross under the mount of Apollo and Mercury, (between the two) just beneath the heart line, it is said to be a sign of a new home arrival or purchase of one. These types of crosses can come and go.

Fish Sign on the Palm Indian Palmistry

Fish signs on the palm, what is it?

A fish sign on the palm is an oblong circle with a pointed end. It can also look like two triangles with overlapping lines. Sometimes there is a whorl or a dot which forms the eye of the fish. I do not usually read symbols like the fish on the hand, because it is very much Indian palmistry lore. However, I think it’s worth mentioning for the benefit of those who are keen to learn about it. Also, read about the Chinese fish sign at the end of this article. Don’t forget to share with your friends. 🙂

Direction and location of the fish sign?

The meaning can vary depending on which way the fish is facing, and on which mount it lies. On the mount of Jupiter beneath the index finger, it suggests power, honour, and respect. Some regard the fish sign on the Jupiter mount as an indication of wealth, especially if the mount is well-developed. It shows leadership, a pleasant, generous and spiritual or religious person.

Fish mark on the life line

If the fish sign is at the end of the life line on the dominant hand, it ensures remarkable prosperity during life. By prosperity, I mean a sense of accomplishment in what they have achieved. Not necessarily a monetary achievement but a feeling of worthwhile efforts and potential wealth.

On a man’s hand, it’s said to show an enormous success. In Indian palmistry, a fish sign on a woman’s hand is very auspicious, suggesting she will have good fortune. She will have children and a caring partner or husband that will outlive her. In India, it is considered bad luck for a female to be a widow, especially if she is still young. If the woman is a housewife, it suggests that the husband will be very successful financially.

Fish Sign on the Sun Mount or Sun Line

The sun mount or line or (also called Apollo mount) beneath the ring finger is about the reputation, social life, creativity, luck, happiness and flamboyancy. The fish will add to those qualities, helping with fame or fortune, especially if the person is in a creative field.

Fish Sign on the Saturn Line

The Saturn line or career/fate line is about life direction, self-control, common sense and responsibility. The symbol here suggests that the subject is growing in their chosen path, whether career or other projects. I have the fish sign on both Saturn and Apollo lines high on the palm. To me, it is representing my chosen career path which is gradually improving, especially after the age of fifty.

What if the fish sign is somewhere else?

The palmistry fish sign can be found anywhere on the hand. If the mark happens to have an eye, even better. When the fish has the head towards the wrist, prosperity is after the age of around fifty. If the head points towards the fingers, the success will be earlier. If towards the side, throughout the whole life.

A Chinese Fish Sign

The Chinese fish sign looks more like open-ended triangles which don’t have a tail. These lines are supposed to represent a serene life; a spiritual person who loves peace on earth. They know and understand the truth, and they will know if you are not being honest to them. They might also have premonitions. If the tail end crosses a finger, it indicates money.

More About Indian Symbols

Indian Palmistry Symbols and their meanings can vary between palmists. Some Astro-palmists claim that there are at least ninety basic signs. The study of many of these symbols goes back a long time to Sanskrit slokas, which is a body of writings by Aryan people who entered India from the northwest. This type of symbolism is not used by modern hand readers, not only because of how rare they are but because of the superstitious or illogical meanings.

I will not be attempting to find or list all the symbols; instead, I have picked out some of the more widespread ones. Some of these Indian palmistry symbols are fortunate, and some are unfortunate. Don’t worry though, an absence of any of them is not significant. It doesn’t mean the subject can’t achieve wealth or happiness.

If you do happen to find one of these symbols, don’t forget to seek confirmation in other parts of the hand. The meanings might also vary depending on which hand it is. The dominant hand would show the active conscious, and non-dominant hand the passive unconscious.

The easiest way to understand the occurrence of symbols on the hand is to interpret them as something that reflects a person’s way of thinking. So, the sign on your hands tells that in the past, what you have done is the reason for the mark. It is not different from reading the lines in modern palmistry in the sense that they are a record of your past actions.

More palmistry symbols: The list of money lines

1. A single vertical line that rises from the heart line under the little finger (on the Mercury mount) shows potential for sudden wealth.
2. The inheritance line is a short vertical line which sits in between the little finger and ring finger. This line depicts inheritance later in life.
3. A trident on the fate line on the Saturn mount beneath the middle finger shows luck with money. It is often on those people who always seem to find the money somehow when times get tough.
4. A star on the Apollo line (sun line or success line), shows celebrity status or sudden fame. Unfortunately, this star can denote any fame, even the criminal kind. It’s best to look for other positive indicators like a well-formed head line and heart line. 
5. The money triangle is a line that rises from the fate line to the head line and shows money through a business idea or the career. Be careful, however, don’t mistake this triangle with other lines. Sometimes a stress line crossing at this point makes it look like the money triangle.
6. The triangle of earnings is common and shows the ability to make money and hold onto it. It forms clearly when the health line, fate and head line crosses. Often there is a gap, and if so, it is not a triangle.
7. A perfectly formed small triangle on the line of life shows a boost in finances, whether through inheritance or something else.
