Additional markings on the hand
In addition to the Major and Minor lines of the hand there are various other markings. Not all these appear on every individual's hand but contribute to a greater understanding of the hand.
Stars
A star on the hand emphasizes incidents. A star on a line, or at the end of a line, warns of impending events for good or evil.

A star near the end of the Life Line denotes a shock and should be a warning sign.
A star on the Head Line - poor-decision making or an accident to the head.
A star on the Heart Line - spells emotional troubles.
At the end of the Fate or the Sun Line - success after long periods of hard work.
A star on the Life Line - potential personal injury.

The Life saving cross
If you have this marking between the Life and Fate lines about 4-6cm from the wrist, this mark may not mean that you literally save lives but shows someone who often works to help others for example Doctor, Nurse or Teacher.

The Medical Stigmata
Small series of four or five vertical lines to the inner side of the Mount of Mercury. People who have this on their hand deal in medical matters and are attracted to healing. This sign can also point to dental problems.
Bars and Circles
These are quite rare but often appear on lines as islands. A circle on the Apollo Mount by the end of the sun line shows brilliance. If it appears anywhere else then this is an unfortunate mark.

Bars

Bars and dots always mean a hindrance with dots having a lesser negative effect.

The Croix Mystique
This cross is found beneath the middle finger between the head and heart lines and shows a distinct interest in occult matters.

Grilles
These represent a destructive force as the lines do not go anywhere. They ultimately take away the power from the line. A grid on the first finger suggests possessiveness and greed, on the little finger - dishonesty.
