METOPOSCOPY

This phase of physiognomy was developed by Jerome Cardan during the 1500’s. He interpreted the horizontal lines of the forehead in astrological terms, naming them from the top downward, in the planetary order of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon.
A firm, straight cross line at any of those positions indicates a person with the finer attributes of that particular planet. Broken lines show uncertainty, while those that are widely separated signify a complete lack of planetary attributes.
