The Quadrangle

The quadrangle as its name implies is that quadrangular space between the lines of head and heart.

It should be even in shape wide at both ends but not narrow at the centre. Its interior should be smooth and not crossed with many lines whether from the head or from the heart. When marked in this way it indicates evenness of mind, power of intellect and loyalty in friendship or affection.

This space represents within itself the man’s disposition toward his fellows. When excessively narrow it shows narrow ideas, smallness of thought and bigotry but more in regard to religion and morals whereas the triangle denotes conservation as regards work and occupation. With religious people this is a remarkable sign the hand of the bigot always having this space extremely narrow.

On the other hand the space must not be too wide. When it is, the subject’s views of religion and morals will be too broad for his own good.

When this space narrows so much in the centre that it has the appearance of a waist it denotes prejudice and injustice. Again the two ends should be fairly equally balanced. When much wider under the Mount of the sun than Saturn the person is careless about his name, position or reputation. The opposite of this is shown when the space is narrow. It is in such a case, a sign of intense anxiety as to the opinion of other people- what the world thinks and what one must do to keep up one's reputation.

When exclusively wide under Saturn or Jupiter and narrower at the other end it denotes that the subject will change from the generosity of his views and broadness of mind to become narrow and prejudiced.

When the quadrangle is abnormally wide in its entire length it denotes want of order in the brain, carelessness of thought and ideas, an unconventional nature and imprudence in all matters.

When the quadrangle is smooth and free from little lines it denotes a calm temperament.

When very full of little lines and crosses the nature is restless and irritable.

A star in any position of the quadrangle is an excellent sign, particularly if under some favourable mount.

Under Jupiter it promises pride and power.

Under Saturn success in worldly matters.

Under the mount of sun success in fame and position through art and between the sun and mercury success in science and research.
