Break
Everything here reports what named old books claimed about hands. None of it is a statement about you or about anything to come.

About this entry
A general rule in Cheiro 1897 makes any break in a line the failure of that line. Applied to the marriage line, a break in two is his sudden break in married life.
St Hill 1893 reads a break in the heart line as a broken engagement or a great disappointment with regard to a person loved. Readings of breaks in the life line are left out here.
