Trident On Fate Line
The Fate Line ending in a trident is certainly a most favorable indication. If the trident is very well-formed and clear, it is a sure indication of some very outstanding success or wealth at the age that it appears.
Normally, you will find the trident formed on the Mount of Saturn itself, and occasionally between the first and second fingers or second and third fingers. I have always found it to mean a most favorable period in the subject's life, generally associated with wealth, land, and success in pursuits connected with the land, particularly if the trident is found on the Mount of Saturn. In India we have moneylenders, mostly Indians (Chettiars), and these people have a reputation for being rich. A few years ago I found a well-formed trident on the hands of an Indian moneylender, between the first and second fingers of his hand. He confessed to me that he was already a millionaire at the time of consultation. Also, he was over the age of fifty at the time he sought my professional advice.
All upward branches of the Fate Line are favorable. They show increased gains, promotion, or academic success, depending upon what the subject is doing. The longer, clearer and deeper these upward branches, the better for the subject. These branches should preferably be flawless.
