The Life School - Palmistry

Symbols
Here are a few more symbols often found on the hand. Some are harmless, but most imply problems or temparary setbacks, and may weaken the line they are on.

The Cross - Problems and disappointments. Weakens any line it touches.

Islands - Hereditary problems such as physical (Heart), mental (Head) and illness (Life). Filled islands are called Dots and generally relate to temporary deleys or difficulties.

The Fork - Talants and gifts. Can show charm, wisdom, peace or fortune, depending on the location.

Three Pronged Fork - Sign of good luck, strengthens the line in question. If the line ends in many prongs, this is known as the Teasle and indicates deterioration with age.

The Bar - Delay or temparary barrier. Weakens any line it touches and may block positivity for a short time.

The Chain - Problems, distress and hard discition making. Warns of rouch times/battles.

The Grille - Indicates obstacles, instability or restlessness. Generally found only on the mounts.

The Psychic Cross - Said to indicate second-sight, psychic tendencies and superstition. Usually found between the Head and Heart lines.

There are also a number of other signs such as the Star, the Triangle, the Square (or Box) and the Circle which may occure anywhere on or near a line and need to be looked at more closely. Below is a guide to some of their qualities.

The Star
This can be a sign of fate or fortune depending on it's location. A reletively uncommon sign, the star relates to energy levels within the body, such as drives, ambition and even shock.

The Triangle
This mark is usually formed when three lines cross and is often very clear. If the mark looks more like a tripod or spearhead, this is a good sign of success but not a triangle! Triangles usually appear on mounts, but sometimes show up on lines where the positive aspects of the line will then be weakened.

It can also be present on mounts where any negative points of the mount will be weakened. One special indication is a box on the Jupiter Mounts (known as the Teachers Square) which shows teaching tallent.

On fate line - A serious problem will arrise but will cause total ruin or loss.
On Head Line - Worries, stress and problems relating to work
