When falling on the Line of Head, they increase the danger to the head itself (7, Plate XXI.).
Descending lines are those that look thicker on the Mount and taper as they come downwards.
CHAPTER XV THE ISLAND, THE CIRCLE, THE SPOT, AND THE GRILLEThe Island is never a fortunate sign. Whereever it makes its appearance, it reduces the promise of the Line or Mount on which it may be found.
On the Line of Life it shows delicacy or illness at that particular date where it appears (1, Plate XXII.).
On the Line of Head, weakness of the brain, danger of brain illness (2, Plate XXII.).
On the Line of Heart, weakness of the heart (3, Plate XXII.), and especially so when under the Mount of the Sun.
On the Line of Fate, heavy loss in worldly matters, worry, and anxiety about the subject's destiny (4, Plate XXII.).
On the Line of Sun, loss of position and generally by some scandal (5, Plate XXII.).
On the Line of Health, serious illness (6, Plate XXII.); if on the upper part of the Line and with small round finger-nails, throat and bronchial troubles. With long nails, delicacy of the lungs and chest. With short nails without moons, bad circulation and weak action of the heart; and with very flat nails, nerve diseases and paralysis (see Nails, page 137).
Lower down on the Line of Health on the Mount of the Moon, it indicates a grave tendency towards kidney and bladder troubles (7, Plate XXII.).
Plate XXII. THE ISLAND, THE CIRCLE, THE SPOT, THE GRILLE, THE STAR, THE SQUARE.
Any Line that forms itself into an island or that runs into one, is a bad sign for that Line or particular part of the hand on which it is found. An island on any of the Mounts weakens the qualities of what the Mount expresses.
THE CIRCLEOn the Mount of the Sun the Circle is favourable (8, Plate XXII.) in all other positions it is unfavourable. On the Mount of the Moon it threatens death from drowning.
THE SPOTThe Spot is a sign of temporary arrest of the qualities of any Line on which it may be found.
On the Line of Head, shock or injury. (9, Plate XXII.)
On the Line of Life, sudden illness.
On the Line of Health, fever.
On all the other Lines it appears to have less significance.
THE GRILLEThe Grille (10, Plate XXII.) is very often seen on the Mounts of the Hand. It denotes difficulties and obstacles in connection with whatever the Mount represents, and a lack of success in whatever quality or talent the Mount symbolises.
CHAPTER XVI THE STAR, THE CROSS, THE SQUAREThe Star (11, Plate XXII.) is with only one exception a most fortunate mark to possess. On the Mount of Jupiter, the Star promises added honour, power, and position.
On the Mount of Sun, it gives riches and glory, but generally associated with a public life.
On the Mount of Mercury, unusual success in commerce, business, science, or great eloquence, according to other indications of the hand. (11, Plate XXII.)
On the Mount of Mars under Jupiter, great distinction and celebrity in martial life or in some one decisive battle, which gives renown to the rest of the career, like a Wellington at Waterloo.
On the Mount of Mars under Mercury, it gives honour won by the mentality fighting the battle of life (see Mounts, page 144).
On the Mount of the Moon it is a sign of great celebrity arising from the qualities of this Mount, viz., through the imagination or inventive faculties.
On the Mount of Venus the Star on the centre of this Mount is also a sign of success, but in relation to animal magnetism and sensuality it gives extraordinary success with the opposite sex.
On the Mount of Saturn it is the one unfavourable sign of this particular mark, and on this Mount it gives distinction, but one to be dreaded. Such a person will be the plaything of destiny, a man cast for some terrible part in the tragedy of life. Such a man's life will end in some terrible disaster, but one which will cause his name to be on everyone's lips. A king perhaps, but one crowned by doom.
Plate XXIII. MINOR MARKS AND SIGNS.
THE CROSS
This sign is the direct opposite to the preceding sign, and has only one favourable position, viz., on the Mount of Jupiter where it indicates some extraordinary fortunate affection which will come into the life. On all the other Mounts it is evil.
On the Mount of Saturn, violent death. (12, Plate XXII.)
On the Mount of Sun, disappointment in riches.
On the Mount of Mercury, dishonesty.
On the Mount of Mars (under Mercury) great opposition.
On the Mount of Mars (under Jupiter) violence and even death from quarrels.
On the Mount of the Moon it denotes a fatal influence to the imagination. Such a man will deceive himself. When low down on this Mount it foreshadows death by drowning.
On the Mount of Venus it indicates some fatal influence of the affections.
Above the Line of Head it foretells an accident or injury to the head.
Above the Line of Heart, the sudden death of some loved one.
THE SQUAREThe Square (13, Plate XXII.) is usually called the Mark of Preservation. It shows escape from dangers at that particular moment where it appears.
When on the Line of Life it means preservation from death. (13, Plate XXII.)
On the Line of Fate, preservation from loss, and so on with each quality represented by the different lines.
CHAPTER XVII DIFFERENT CLASSES OF LINESThe lines on the palm should be clearly marked, a good pink or reddish colour, and they should be free from breaks, crosses, holes or irregularities of all kinds.
When very pale in colour they show lack of force and loss of energy, and often poor health.
When extremely red they indicate excessive energy and a rather violent disposition.
When yellow in colour they denote a tendency to biliousness and liver complaints, and tell in consequence of a melancholy morose nature.
Forked lines are generally good and increase the quality of the special indication. When at the end of the Line of Head, the fork gives more of what is called a dual mentality and less power of concentration on any one subject. (Plate XXIV.)
Spots on a Line weaken it and arrest its growth.
Tasselled Lines (Plate XXIV.) are not good signs. They weaken any indication the line itself denotes, and at the end of a Life Line they foreshadow loss of all nervous energy.
Wavy Lines (Plate XXIV.) show uncertainty, lack of decision and want of force.
Broken Lines (Plate XXIV.) destroy the meaning of the line at the particular place where the break appears, but if one line ends above the other, the break is not so bad and the quality of the line will be continued.
Plate XXIV. MINOR MARKS AND SIGNS.
Sister Lines (Plate XXIV.) increase or double the power of any line, and when lying close together at the Line of Head, they give it great power and promise.
Islands (Plate XXIV.) are always evil and denote weakness or failure of the Line or Mount on which they may be found.
Ascending Lines (Plate XXIV.) are good from any line from which they spring. From the Line of Life they denote increased energy wherever they make their appearance. If they run up to any particular Mount or part of the hand, they show that the increased effort or energy will be in that particular direction.
Descending Lines (Plate XXIV.) are the reverse and mean loss of power.
Chained Lines show lack of force or fixity of purpose. (Plate XXIV.).
When the entire hand is covered with a network of small lines, it denotes a highly nervous disposition and usually great mental worry and lack of decision.
RIGHT AND LEFT HANDSBoth the hands should be examined together to see if they accord. When they do, the indication of whatever the mark is, is more decided.
When something is marked on the left hand and not on the right, the tendency will be in the nature, but unless it is also marked on the right hand it will never bear fruit or come to any result. When the two hands are exactly alike, it denotes that the subject has not developed in any way from what heredity or Nature gave to him.
It must be remembered that we use the left side of the brain more than we do the right, and the nerves cross and go to the right hand. Consequently, it is this hand which denotes the developed or active brain, the left only giving the natural tendencies or inclinations.
To be scientific and accurate the student of this subject must always keep this rule before his mind and not be led away in his judgment by some "marvellously good line" that the subject may proudly call his attention to in the left hand, for such a mark will have no actual result unless it is also found on the right hand.
CHAPTER XVIII THE GREAT TRIANGLE AND THE QUADRANGLEThe Great Triangle is formed by the lines of Head, Life, and Health (Plate XXV.). The larger this triangle is, the better will be the health, for the reason that the Line of Health will be further removed from the Life Line. The views of life will also be broader and the field of action as it were less limited.
When the upper angle (made by the Head and Life Lines) is acute, the subject will be more nervous, timid, and sensitive.
THE QUADRANGLEThe Quadrangle, as its name implies, is that space lying between the Lines of Head and Heart. (Plate XXV.)
To be well marked, it should be even in shape and not narrow at either end.
When marked in this way it denotes balance of judgment, level-headedness in all things, and is a most excellent sign to have.
It represents man's disposition or mental attitude towards his fellow men. When extremely narrow it indicates narrowness of views and bigotry in regard to religion.
When excessively wide, it denotes a lack of judgment in all things and too much looseness of views for one's good.

CHAPTER XIX
HOW TO TELL TIME AND DATES OF PRINCIPAL EVENTS IN THE LIFE
The most correct way in which to tell time by the hand is to divide the Line of Life into periods of seven years, and also the Line of Fate, following the accompanying design (Plate XXVI.).
The Line of Head may also be divided into sections of seven years (see page 25).
This division into periods of seven is the most natural one of all, as the entire nature changes every seven years. Long experience
