The Island, the Circle and the Spot

An Island

The island is often considered an unfortunate sign but its significance is associated with the line or portion of the hand on which it is found. It is interesting to know that it frequently relates to the hereditary evils as for instance a heavily marked island on the line of head denotes a disease related to the brain or nervous system. It is primarily found on the lines but is also found on mount sometimes. Some general representations of an island on the basis of its position on various lines and mounts are provided below.

The Circle

The circle is rarely found on a hand. It is an inauspicious mark but its presence on the mount of Sun is fortunate since it increases the powers of mount of Sun.
