Where on the hand: In the upper half of the palm above the head line, where the fate line, the Sun line and the Mercury (money) line all rise from — or converge on — a single point, then fan out toward the middle, ring and little fingers.

What it looks like: Three vertical lines springing from one common stem like an antenna, a rake, or a bird's foot, one running to the Saturn mount, one to the Apollo mount and one to the Mercury mount.

In Japanese palmistry this is the classic sign of exceptional worldly fortune — the 'hand that takes the realm'. It is read as the combination of a settled career direction (fate line), public recognition (Sun line) and the ability to convert them into money (Mercury line) all working from a single source. Popular Japanese readers rank it with the masukake line among the most desirable formations.

Read with care: Japanese sources are unusually frank that this line is marketed as a 'billionaire's sign' and is far commoner than that suggests — one popular site notes that most people who have it are ordinary salaried workers and reads it only as a capacity that hard work might realise. It is also reported more often on women's hands. Present it as a hopeful indicator, not a promise of wealth.
