The Island

THE island is not a fortunate sign, but it only relates to the line or portion of the hand on which it is found. It is interesting to notice that it frequently relates to hereditary evils; as, for instance, heavily marked on the line of heart it denotes heart weakness.

When as one distinct mark in the centre of the line of head, it denotes a hereditary weakness in relation to mentality.

When on the line of life, it denotes illness and delicacy at that particular point.

When on the line of fate, some heavy loss in worldly matters.

When on the line of sun, it foretells loss of position and name, generally through scanda.

When on the line of health, it foreshadows a serious illness.

Any line running into or forming an island is a bad indication in relation to the part of the hand on which it is found.

An attendant line on the Mount of Venus running into an island foretells disgrace and trouble from passion to the man or woman who influences the life.

A line forming an island and crossing the hand from the Mount of Venus to the line of Marriage foretells that an evil influence at that particular point will cross the life and bring disgrace to the marriage. If the same kind of line run to the line of heart, some bad influence will bring trouble and disgrace to the affections; when it runs to the line of head, some influence will direct the talents and intentions into some disgraceful channel; and when it runs into and bars the line of fate, some evil influence will be a barrier to the success of the subject at the date at which the lines join each other.
