Chain

A chained formation is a line made of small linked pieces, and Cheiro 1897 counts it as weak on any line. On the heart line he gives it as weakness and changeability of affection, and on the head line as a want of fixity of ideas.

Cheiro puts the chained look in the same family as wavy lines and the little hair-lines running beside a main line, which he also reads as weakness. The old books also tied chained lines to health, and those claims do not appear on this page.

St Hill 1893 agrees on both lines. She reads a chained head line as a want of fixity in the ideas, and a chained heart line as inconstancy and caprice in affection.
