One of the chief lines in a palm is the upward line or fate line as termed in Western Palmistry and the practical line in Oriental Palmistry; all these three terms have significance. Since the line starts from some region at the bottom of the palm with an upward tendency to any of the four fingers excluding the thumb or the adjacent regions thereof; it is designated as upward line. It has an inner significance also in that this line signifies the gradual progress of the native towards establishment in earthly life and therefore it is termed as practical line also and in Western Palmistry it is designated as fate line because the significance of this line is mostly related with the material prospect or degradation. But it should be noted in particular that in many cases no upward line exists at all in the palm although such natives are quite established in life. On the contrary, many palms are observed having this line where material prospects of the native are very little or not at all. This implies that material prospect in life is not strictly related with its existence in the palm.
The real
significance of this line is that the life of such a native having this line in
the palm is directed in a definite course by some unseen force and the human
efforts of the native to deviate from this course are not fruitful. It means
that for such a native the fate or fortune is the real controller and not human
efforts termed as “Purushokar”. Secondly, such a native becomes very conscious
about the environment and responsible towards the same which is not usually
seen with the natives not having this line in the palm. If this line be weak or
defective, its consequence in the native’s life is usually obstructive leading
to downfall and for natives having this line absent in the palm but containing
malefic signs, human like qualities are usually absent and instead demonic
features are manifested and the native not having this line in the palm will
have to construct the own fate with the help of activities.
Now, these
characteristics of the fate line are being analyzed in terms of astrological
principles.
In the natal chart,
the ninth house signifies fortune, wisdom, conscience, religion etc. In the
Zodiac, it is the sign Saggitarius – dual and Sattwik fiery sign ruled by
Jupiter, the Master of the Deities of whom it is the active field and the sign
of debilation for the demon Rahu. The ninth house is the origin of the
Ascendant signifying the start of present incarnation which implies that the
origin of life or the driving force is religion, conscience etc. which are
actually the significators of fortune. For a native, establishment in life and his
neighbours are judged from the third house while the relation with the greater
environment is judged from the seventh house. Ninth house is the seventh house
counted from the third house and conversely it is the third house counted from
the seventh house in the natal chart. It implies that the fate of the native is
closely related with the nearby neighbours and the greater environment. The
consequence of the seventh house is the eleventh house and the eleventh counted
from the eleventh house is the ninth house. Its implication is that the
financial success of a native is intimately related with the development of the
environment and this financial success is the significator of the native’s
fortune. The characteristics of the ninth sign in the Zodiac i.e. Saggitarius
with the inner significance of its symbol indicate that the actual fortune is
intimately related with the sublimation of consciousness together with the
sense of responsibility to the society or entire environment as a whole.
But if the ninth
house in the natal chart or the sign Saggitarius in the Zodiac be weak or
afflicted by malefics, the native will not receive the gift of fortune much in
life because fortune is actually the accumulated results of the deeds in
previous incarnations. In such a case, the native’s accumulation in previous
births being mostly exhausted, he has to depend mostly on his personal efforts
in the present incarnation which is termed as “purushokar”. In such a case,
depending on the personal efforts and activities, the native may rise to a high
position both financially and socially starting from almost zero-point in life.
As such, such a
native has to combat with the environment constantly for being established in
life. This results in the lack of sense of responsibility and duty to the
environment. This is reflected in the native’s palm by the absence of the fate
line or the presence of very faint and defective fate line. If the ninth house
in a natal chart be weak or afflicted by malefics, the native is mostly devoid
of religious sense, conscience etc. In addition, if the Ascendant and/or its
lord, the fourth house and/or its lord together with the Moon be weak or
afflicted by malefics, the native will have a very mean mentality and
selfishness as well. As the consequence, in such a native demonic features are
mostly manifested instead of humanic qualities and this will be extremely
harmful for the environment and consequently to the native himself.
