The sun line is also known as the line of Apollo because it begins somewhere on the palm and ends on or near the Mount of Apollo, as shown at No. 9 in the key diagram.

The sun line is the hallmark of brilliance and creativity but, before deciding how and where the possessor of this line will "shine", it is essential to look at the phalanges, fingertips, thumb and head line to see whether it will be in practical, artistic, emotional, mental, imaginative or material and financial pursuits. It would be wrong to promise a brilliant career in business if the fingertips are pointed, the thumb short and weak and the head line droops to the Mount of the Moon.

A long, deep, strong, straight line indicates the maximum intensity of brilliance, creativity, talent, fame and subsequent wealth. These potentials decrease as the sun line becomes thin, short, shallow, wavy, broken, chained or islanded. Apply the same formula to correlate age on the sun line as you used for the fate line and you will discover the periods in life when a person will shine or even achieve some fame.

When the sun line operates during the latter years of life, as shown in the diagram above, efforts made during the earlier years will be crowned with eventual success and, unless there are health defects shown on the Line of Constitution, mature life will be wonderful.

Many hands do not contain a sun line and while this certainly does not indicate failure in life, the person is unlikely to achieve brilliance and fame.
