Dr. Shanker Adawal
When examining the Lines
of the Hand, the first important point to notice is the Character, i.e. their
clearness, depth, evenness, whether they are perfect or defective, and if
defective, the nature of the defect, how far it extends, and the condition of
the Line following the defect.
The first general
principal governing the Lines is that the more evenly they run, the clearer
they are, the less they are crossed, broken, islanded or chained, and the
nearer pink in colour, the better the line is, the more vigorous and clear will
be the operation of its attributes. It must be remembered that vertical lines
are favourable, while all horizontal lines crossing them are defects-this also
applies to the Mounts.
Clear cut, even, pink
lines are the best, for every obstruction or defect is inimical.
It must also be noted
whether any one line is deeper or shallower than another, is more defective or
differs in its character from the other lines in the hand. If the lines, in
general, are of the same size and character, but one particular line is much
deeper, clearer or better coloured, then the thing which this deep line
indicates is the strongest.
If the lines are broad and
shallow, they are weak ones, and will show weakness, vacillation and general
discouragement. Lines that are deep, well cut in the hand, and well coloured,
without being crossed or otherwise defective, show vigour and strength,
steadiness of purpose, evenness of temper, and make for general success.
All the changes,
obstructions and defects occurring to lines have special names, and these will
be considered separately.
The Uneven Line
This line may seem clear,
but a close examination will show it to be deeper in some parts than in others.
In parts, it will be thin, though at other times it may be broad and
shallow-these alterations show changes in the character of the line-when deep,
strong and vigorous; when thin, vacillating and weak-thus we get unequal and
spasmodic operation of the qualities of this uneven line.
The above indications arer
applicable to all the Lines and not any particular line.
The Split Line
Fine lines branching from the main Lines or
Split lines are often seen, and though at times they may run nearly parallel to
the line from which they have split, they must not be mistaken for Sister Lines
as these latter are entirely separates and distinct lines. Nor must they be
accounted Islands, as they do not rejoin the line after splitting from it. In
general, these Split lines show a weakening of the line during its continuance.
These Split lines are
often the beginning of a new course in the life of a subject, in which case the
Split line will grow in length. If the Split line only runs a short distance
and then stops, it will show that an attempt to change the course of the life
has failed. The wider these splits separate from the line, the more important
they are, and the more likely to bring about a change in the course of the
life, if a Split line runs to a Mount, it shows the attraction of the Mount,
and the subject will either follow the qualities of the Mount or will seek the
company of subjects of the Mount type.
The Split line will tell
of many events, from a mere defect to a total change of life of the subject,
and as such they merit close examination.
The Island
This sign starts as a
Split line, but after running a greater or less distance from the line from
which it split, it turns back and rejoins its original line, thus forming a
distinct loop to the line. Its size and length varies, but it is always a
defect, and the extent of the island indicates the measure of its obstruction
or duration, while from the point at which it is seen on the line, the age at
which this weakening occurs can be read.
An island at the end of
the Line of Vitality accompanied by another island on the Line of Heart
immediately beneath the Mount of the Sun (A Fig. 1) means inherited cardiac
disease. This is confirmed by the spoon-shaped “nails, or small square ones.
If an auxiliary line is
forked from the Line of Saturn and ends in an island on the Plain of Mars (B
fig. 1), it is an infallible sign in the hand of a married person that his or
her mate will die by road accident.
An island on the Line of
Heart connected with another island on the Line of Saturn (C and C fig. 1)
means a very deep love that will end in scandal and corrupt the career.
If an island is formed on
the Line of Mentality after passing through the Mount of the Upper Mars (D fig.
1), it means’s a criminal character who will stop at nothing to commit murder.
An island on the Mount of
Venus near its base (E fig. 1) betrays some member of the family who is always
creating trouble or anxiety. If an auxiliary line extends from that island to
any main line or mount, it shows where that trouble is directed.
Other meanings of the
island have been dealt with in the preceding chapters.
