Minor Marks and Signs
It should he understood that all the minor marks should be clearly marked in the hand, even though uneven in shape.
Some hands show many of these lesser markings because the hand is covered with a multitude of lines running in all directions, and the criss-crossing of these lines form all kinds of patterns. In such a case the minor marks must lose their true significance to a certain extent.
The island is the splitting of a line, re-forming at either end, and can be small or large.
The star is usually uneven, and may be isolated or made up of small lines (forming a star shape) with a main line as part of the star.
The cross is really a bar line cutting through either a main line or another short line. The Mystic Cross should be clearly marked between the Head and Heart lines and stand alone even though the extremities may touch the Head and Heart lines.
he square can be on a line or stand alone. It can be comer-wise, he. like a diamond, or can be rwo small lines joining two main lines.
The grille is seldom symmetrical, but is formed of several small lines criss-crossing.

The triangle can be a V shape attached to a main line, on roughly defined triangle in a separate position or crossing another line.
All these signs must be boldly marked for true significance. Examples of formation are given in the illustration as a guide to the student.
The star (Fig. 1) is often a sign of great importance, but its importance will be increased or diminished according to the place on the hand on which it is found.

On the upper part of the Mount of Jupiter (A, Fig. 1), if the Line of Head, Fate and Sun are good, it is a magnificent promise of success in whatever the ambitions are centered on.
Lower down on the same mount it is also good, but indicates that the subject will be brought into contact with distinguished people and those of high authority in the world; more than that, the person himself u-iil become great.
On the Mount of the Sun (B, Fig. 2), if touching or connected with a good Line of Sun, it promises unusual celebrity of the nature of fame and glory. It is also a sign of riches attained by the person through their success, but as a rule it does not promise happiness, for the subject has something in his or her disposition that will never be satisfied with anything attained.

Fig. 1
On the centre of the Mount of Saturn (C, Fig. 2), it is a sign of some mysterious fatality that pursues the person all through his career.
It again singles out the man or woman for distinction, but one to be dreaded- It indicates that the possessor of this mark will be the plaything of fate, destined to be cast for strange rules in life, but usually associated with tragedy. This is still more accentuated if a strong Line of Destiny touches this star.
On the Mount of Mars (positive) (D, Fig. 2), it promises distinction and celebrity from a military life, or as a leader in some revolutionary movement. On the opposite Mount of Mars (negative), between the Lines of Head and Heart (E, Fig. 2) it shows that honor will he gained through patience and perseverance, by mental fighting as opposed to that of the physical.

The Star
Fig. 2
Fig. 2
On the Mount of Luna with a good Line of Head it promises brilliant success arising from the imaginative qualities such as invention if the Head Line is sloping, or in the domain of poetry, literature or art (F, Fig. 2).
With a very sloping or weak-looking Line of Head, and the star low down on the Mount (G, Fig. 2), the imagination will be inclined to run riot and may produce insanity.
As this star has often been found in this position on the hands of suicides, it has been considered by ancient writers to be a sign of drowning, but it may also be found on the hands of those who commit suicide by other means than water.
On the centre of the Mount of Mercury (H, Fig. 2), it denotes success in the qualities of the mind, especially in scientific pursuits. It is also a remarkable promise of distinc¬tion in a money-making career if the Line of Head lies straight or level across the hand underneath it.
On the Mount of Venus (I, Fig. 2), it denotes strong personal magnetism and success in love affairs.

On the Mount of Venus (I, Fig. 2), it denotes strong personal magnetism and success in love affairs.
A cross if found standing out distinct by itself, and not formed by main lines crossing one another on the Mount of Jupiter the sign of love and affection for some person one may proud of (A, Fig. 3).
When found near the commencement of the Line of Life it will be in the early years, on the centre of the mount in middle life, and down at the base or high up near the first finger late in life.
On the Mount of Saturn (B, Fig. 3), touching the Line Fate, it usually denotes danger of violent death by accident, but if found standing out alone and distinct on this mount, increases the fatalistic tendencies of the life.

The Cross
Fig. 3
Fig. 3
On the Mount of the Sun it foreshadows disappointment the pursuit of fame or wealth, unless the line of Sun proceeds beyond the cross, in which case it is temporary (C, Fig. 3).
A cross on the Mount of Mercury indicates a tendency towards duplicity (D, Fig. 3).
On the Mount of Luna with a sloping Head Line (E, Fig. 3), it denotes a fatal influence of the imagination. Persons with this mark deceive even themselves.
Low down towards the base of the Mount of Luna at the end of a voyage line it threatens danger from drowning.
On the Mount of Venus when distinctly marked (G, Fig. 3), it indicates some great loss or trial of the affections of a passionate nature.
On the Mount of Mars positive, under Jupiter, it threatens violence and likely death in fighting. Many soldiers who lost their lives in the war of 1914-18 had this mark (H, Fig. 3).
On the Mount of Mars negative, under Mercury, the cross denotes the mental hostility of enemies (I, Fig. 3).
Above and slightly touching the Line of Head it fore¬shadows a wound or accident to the head (J, Fig. 3).
If clear and distinct, touching the Line of Fate, it denotes trouble or opposition to one's career (K, Fig. 3).

If clear and distinct, touching the Line of Fate, it denotes trouble or opposition to one's career (K, Fig. 3).
What is called (he square is one of the most interesting of the minor signs. It is generally designated as the 'Mark of Preser¬vation'. It denotes that the man or woman will be protected or escape whatever danger is threatened at that particular period of the life.
When found on the Line of Life the person will escape the illness threatened at that period (A, Fig. 4).
On the Line of Head it is a protection from accident to the head, and if it surround* an 'island', from some brain malady (B, Fig. 4).
On the Line of Fate from loss or trouble at that date (C, Fig. 4)
On the Line of Sun generally preservation from scandal or attack on one's position (D, Fig. 4). On the Line of Health protection from some breakdown wherever the square may be found (E, Fig. 4).

The Square
Fig. 4
Fig. 4
On the Mount of Luna protection from dangers in voyages or travel (F, Fig. 4). On the Mount of Venus the subject will escape danger threatened by trouble brought on by the passionate nature (G, Fig. 4).
On the Mount of Mars (positive) it is a sign of preservation in fighting or in a military career (A, Fig. 4).
On the Mount of Jupiter protection in one's ambitions (I, Fig. 4)- On Saturn preservation from fatalities (J, Fig. 4). On Mercury strength or protection from mental overstrain (K, Fig. 4).
The general rule to follow is that the square on any of the mounts protects the person from the excess qualities of that particular mount.

The general rule to follow is that the square on any of the mounts protects the person from the excess qualities of that particular mount.
The 'island' can never be considered a fortunate sign. Its role is to break down or weaken the qualities of whatever line or mount of the palm on which it appears.
In the Line of Life it denotes illness or delicacy in the various parts of the body according to the position of the 'island' (A, Fig. 5). At the commencement of the Life Line a series of 'islands' means delicacy in early life, which may be shown to be outgrown by the continuation of a strong, clear Life Line
to the end.
On the other hand the probable nature of the delicacy will be corroborated lower down on the Life Line if the tendencies towards illness increase as life goes on.

The Island
Fig. 5
Fig. 5
An 'island* high on the Life Line immediately following the span covering the early years relates to the upper part of the body and indicates that the lungs and bronchial tubes will be affected, particularly if the nails are filbert (see title on nail) lower down weakness of the digestive system, lower still the intestinal tract—still lower the kidneys, bladder and excretory organs.
In the line of Head, mental weakness generally brought about by overstrain (B, Fig. 5).
An 'island' under the Mount of Jupiter indicating the danger of mental strain will most likely be due to over-ambition-under Saturn due to melancholia or shock; under the Mount of Sun, the eyes and frontal sinus above the eyes; under Mercury the fretful worrying state of the mind.
If the Heart Line commences with an 'island’, hereditary heart disease is indicated, especially if the nails are short with little or no moons.
Marked in the early years of the Fate Line, especially if the line appears to come from under the Mount of Venus (D Fig. 5), the home life or family connections will trouble or injure the start of the career. If the Line of Fate should as well be connected with the Mount of Venus, the person will spoil or sacrifice his early years to some relation or for some reason in connection with his home life.
If a line of influence be found joining the 'island' some unfortunate love affair or early marriage will injure the man or woman in the early years of the career and prevent them from following their plans (E. Fig. 5).
An 'island' in what is called the Plain of Mars will foretell great difficulties at the date when the 'island' appears (H Fig. 5)
If an 'island' is seen in the Line of Fate between the Head and Heart Lines in what is called the 'Quadrangle', the person will go through great mental trouble and anxiety in that period of his existence (G, Fig. 5).
An 'island' at the end of the Line of Fate (H, Fig. 5) is a terrible sign of loss and misfortune in the closing years of the career.
An 'island' at the end of the Line of Sun means that the career, no matter how brilliant it has been, will end in calumny and loss (I, Fig. 5).
An 'island' in the Health Line will cause grave danger to the health and increase whatever illness or disease may be indicated elsewhere by the hand (J, Fig. 5).
An 'island' on a line of influence joining the Fate Line shows there is some trouble or scandal connected with the person who influences or joins one's fate (K, Fig. 5).
An 'island' on any mount weakens the particular qualities of the mount or part of the hand on which it is found.
In the line of Head, mental weakness generally brought about by overstrain (B, Fig. 5).
An 'island' under the Mount of Jupiter indicating the danger of mental strain will most likely be due to over-ambition-under Saturn due to melancholia or shock; under the Mount of Sun, the eyes and frontal sinus above the eyes; under Mercury the fretful worrying state of the mind.
If the Heart Line commences with an 'island’, hereditary heart disease is indicated, especially if the nails are short with little or no moons.
Marked in the early years of the Fate Line, especially if the line appears to come from under the Mount of Venus (D Fig. 5), the home life or family connections will trouble or injure the start of the career. If the Line of Fate should as well be connected with the Mount of Venus, the person will spoil or sacrifice his early years to some relation or for some reason in connection with his home life.
If a line of influence be found joining the 'island' some unfortunate love affair or early marriage will injure the man or woman in the early years of the career and prevent them from following their plans (E. Fig. 5).
An 'island' in what is called the Plain of Mars will foretell great difficulties at the date when the 'island' appears (H Fig. 5)
If an 'island' is seen in the Line of Fate between the Head and Heart Lines in what is called the 'Quadrangle', the person will go through great mental trouble and anxiety in that period of his existence (G, Fig. 5).
An 'island' at the end of the Line of Fate (H, Fig. 5) is a terrible sign of loss and misfortune in the closing years of the career.
An 'island' at the end of the Line of Sun means that the career, no matter how brilliant it has been, will end in calumny and loss (I, Fig. 5).
An 'island' in the Health Line will cause grave danger to the health and increase whatever illness or disease may be indicated elsewhere by the hand (J, Fig. 5).
An 'island' on a line of influence joining the Fate Line shows there is some trouble or scandal connected with the person who influences or joins one's fate (K, Fig. 5).
An 'island' on any mount weakens the particular qualities of the mount or part of the hand on which it is found.
The Circle
The circle is somewhat similar in its meaning to the 'island', but not as important. It generally appears in a series of small lines or dots. Its only favorable indication is when it is found with a good Line of Sun on the mount of that name (A, Fig. 6), for the reason that here it becomes the symbol of the sun itself.
On any other line it weakens the power of that line. On the base of the Mount of Luna any form of the circle indicates danger from water, or travel (B, Fig. 6).
The Spot
What is called the 'spot, dent or hole in any line indicates the temporary cessation of the activities of that line at that par¬ticular moment. It is more often found on the Lines of Life, Head and Health than on any other part of the hand.

Fig. 6
On the Line of Life it is the indication of a sudden sharp attack of illness (C, Fig. 6). On the Line of Head it usually foretells a severe blow or concussion of the brain (D, Fig. 6).
The Trident
This mark is so called from the fact that it appears as its name implies, namely in the form of a three-pronged trident. It is not often found, but when it is, it is considered an excellent mark to possess. On the Mount of Jupiter it foretells success in ambition (E, Fig. 6)—on the Mount of the Sun, power through wealth.
The Grille
This mark is quite often met with on the Mounts of the Hand It denotes confusion of ideas, lack of continuity of purpose in relation to the qualities of the particular mount on which it appears. On the Mount of Jupiter it denotes egotism, pride of power, but that of a self-willed person who will attempt too many, things in order to satisfy his or her ambition.
It is a specially bad sign when found on the Mount of Saturn, as it indicates the breaking up of the Fate Line into a multiplicity of wasted effort, with no fixed purpose in the individual's life (F, Fig- 6). In character on this mount it denotes a morbid tendency with an undercurrent of extreme selfishness. On the Mount of the Sun it indicates that the person will be inclined to gratify vanity by committing folly of every description in their desire for celebrity.
The Triangle
This mark is often found very clear and distinct. It should not be confused with the chance crossing of lines with each other.
It is exceptionally good when found on any part of the Mount of Jupiter. It promises more than average success in organization, in the management of people, In the handling of masses, in dictating to others and success in Government or political life (G, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Saturn it denotes talent and power for research into hidden things, also for the use of occult powers or the unusual in scientific work.
On the Mount of the Sun it denotes the practical application of art and a calm demeanor as regards one's fame or success in life. Even without any very definite Line of Sun a well-marked Triangle on the mount of that name is an excellent promise of success if there is a good Line of Head.
On the Mount of Mercury it balances the mental qualities and strengthens the talents indicated (H, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Mars under Mercury, the Triangle gives to it increased mental activity (I, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Mars under Jupiter it denotes success in fighting or warfare, and like the square It is also a sign of protection and presence of mind danger (J, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Venus it gives reason, method and re¬straint in affairs of passion (K, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Luna it gives balance and judgment to the imagination (L, Fig. 6).

On the Mount of Mars under Mercury, the Triangle gives to it increased mental activity (I, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Mars under Jupiter it denotes success in fighting or warfare, and like the square It is also a sign of protection and presence of mind danger (J, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Venus it gives reason, method and re¬straint in affairs of passion (K, Fig. 6).
On the Mount of Luna it gives balance and judgment to the imagination (L, Fig. 6).
The Mystic Cross, or as it is called ‘La Croix Mystique’ is found in the centre of what is termed 'The Quadrangle', or in the upper or lower end of it between the Lines of I lead Heart.
It may also be formed by a line from the Head to the across the Line of Fate. It denotes gifts of mysticism and i intense love of occultism.
When high up almost under Jupiter it denotes the desire and use of occult powers in connection with the ambitions (A, Fig. 7). When apparently more connected the Line of Heart, it gives a more superstitious nature, especially if the Line of Head under it is sloping towards the Mount of Luna (B, Fig. 7). The length of the Line of Head must be considered with this mark, A short line will naturally inclined to be more superstitious than a long formation across the hand.

The Mystic Cross
Fig. 7
Fig. 7
When nearer the wider end of the Quadrangle, to study, desire to penetrate the mysteries of occultism will only be apparent as interest taken in such things (C, Fig. 7).
When formed by a line from the Line of Head crossing the Fate under the Mount of Saturn, the pursuit of occultism will influence the entire destiny .
If the Line of Head appears to rise upward under the Mystic Cross at any point, the person will become a serious mental student of all subjects dealing with occultism. This also denotes quick keen intuition about the people one meets.
The Quadrangle
The quadrangle is that space that lies between the Lines of Heart and Head. When this space appears even and well shaped, it is a sign of balanced judgment which is to be expected on account of the Line of Head being level.
If the Line of Heart is seen bending down into the quad¬rangle, it denotes that the affections will more or less interfere with the judgment.
If the line of Head bends upwards and narrows the quad¬rangle the person will be more practical in affairs of the heart.
It is not a good sign to have the quadrangle filled with a lot of meaningless lines. The cleaner it is the better, with the excep¬tion, of course, of the main lines of the palm that pass through it on their way to the different mounts.
The Great Triangle
What is called the Great Triangle is formed by the Lines of Life, Head and Health (D, Fig. 7). The larger the formation of the triangle the better, for the reason that when large, the Line of Health does not touch and cut off the line of Life. Also for the very important reason that to have a really large triangle; the Line of Head must be straight across the hand.
It has therefore been laid down as a rule in this study that the larger the 'Great Triangle* is, the better it must be for the person on whose hand it may be found.
The Upper Angle
The upper angle (E, Fig. 7) which is formed by the Lines of Head and Life should be dearly defined in shape. If too acute the person would have the Line of Head too low down for if to be a good sign of mentality.
If, on the contrary, this angle is open, the person will be inclined to suffer from lack of caution and dash into dangerous hazards or take chances with life. If not too wide, this target angle is an excellent sign on the hand of an actor or actress, or those who lead any form of public life. It denotes a keen sense of drama or the dramatic instinct, and with a good Line of Head gives freedom of thought and originality.
The Middle Angle
The middle angle is formed by the Lines of Head and Health (F, Fig. 7). A wide angle in this position is better than an acute one, for the reason that it shows that the Line of Head is more level.
If acute, it would not only make a more sloping Head Lined but it would bring the line of Health more sharply across the palm towards the life and so indicate more likelihood of delicacy.
The same rule applies to the lower angle (G, Fig. 7). If acute it would bring the Health Line too close to the Line of Life.
When formed by a line from the Line of Head crossing the Fate under the Mount of Saturn, the pursuit of occultism will influence the entire destiny .
If the Line of Head appears to rise upward under the Mystic Cross at any point, the person will become a serious mental student of all subjects dealing with occultism. This also denotes quick keen intuition about the people one meets.

The same rule applies to the lower angle (G, Fig. 7). If acute it would bring the Health Line too close to the Line of Life.
Travel, voyages and Accidents
Travel, voyages and accidents caused by such things are shown in two ways. By lines on the Mount of Luna that lie horizontally on this mount, and by lines that descend from the Line of Life and go more or less outwards in the direction ell the Mount of Luna. The latter are the more important of the two kinds.
Still another indication, but very different in character, is when the Life Line divides with one branch going out towards the Mount of Luna (A, Fig. 8), while the other continues round the base of the Mount of Venus (B, Fig. 8), illustrates a complete change from one country to another.
If this outer line is more heavily marked or looks more important than B continuing round the Mount of Venus, it promises long residence in a country far from that of birth.
Travel, voyages and accidents caused by such things are shown in two ways. By lines on the Mount of Luna that lie horizontally on this mount, and by lines that descend from the Line of Life and go more or less outwards in the direction ell the Mount of Luna.

Still another indication, but very different in character, is when the Life Line divides with one branch going out towards the Mount of Luna (A, Fig. 8), while the other continues round the base of the Mount of Venus (B, Fig. 8), illustrates a complete change from one country to another.
If this outer line is more heavily marked or looks more important than B continuing round the Mount of Venus, it promises long residence in a country far from that of birth.
Fig. 8
Should the two lines A and B appear equally strong, it indicates long and continuous voyages to and from the two places.
If the line to B should fade out, as it may do after a few years, then the person will settle permanently in some far-off country.
If the Line of Life itself should leave its usual position and go across or towards the Mount of Luna, the change of place
or country will be all the more decided, is if the person had it written in his destiny from the time of birth that he would change from his own land and go to another.
A very remarkable point is one that I have proved by my own experience, that if at the same date in the age of the person the Line of Sun is good (C, Fig. 8), the change will be a successful one. If, however, the Line of Sun looks weak on that date, or fades out, then the change to another will be unfortunate.
The same rule applies when the entire Life Line leaves its usual position and goes outward towards the Mount of Luna. The indication of success or failure will be still more accentuated should the Fate Line as well as the Sun Line look or fade out from the date of the change.
Fine downward lines that leave the outside of the Life LINE also denote voyages or long journeys (D, Fig. 8). If one of the Lines of travel runs into an 'island' the journey will end badly—generally in relation to the defeat of one's plan (E, Fig. 8).
Should, however, a cross, no matter how small, be seen close to the 'island', or at the end of the travel line, it foreshadow danger (F, Fig. 8).
Travel lines are also shown lying across the Face of the; Mount of Luna (G, Fig. 38).
When these travel lines curve downwards (H, Fig. 8), they are not as favorable as when lying straight
across the Mount of Luna.
If the line ends in an 'island' or has one towards the end of it, the travel or journey will end in loss or disappointment (1. Fig. 8).
I have given examples of how accidents are shown in connection with travel. There is, however, another sign of danger or accident, but one that may be caused by any form of fatality. This is when a line » seen coming from the Mount of Saturn and cutting the Life Line at any point (J, Fig. 8).
This line from Saturn can easily be distinguished from a line that rises from the Line of Life towards Saturn. The Line of fatality from Saturn it will be seen cuts through the Line of Life threatening danger where the two lines intersect.
