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 CIRCLE
On 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 SPOT
The 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.
