Accidental Signs

The Trident, the Chain, the Cross and the Star.
Symbols of your unique destiny.

Besides the main lines, our hands hold many smaller but extremely important signs. We call them accidental signs. Their presence, and especially their position on particular mounts, can completely change the interpretation of the whole hand. They are like the fingerprints of the soul - unique to each person, pointing to specific talents, challenges or gifts of fate.
