Mark
Cross
Everything here reports what named old books claimed about hands. None of it is a statement about you or about anything to come.
In an older source
The cross is the opposite to the star, and is seldom found as a favorable sign.
Cheiro, The Language of the Hand (1897)
About this entry
Cheiro 1897 sets the cross against the star. He reads it as trouble, disappointment and danger, and sometimes as a change of position or circumstances that comes through trouble.
Benham 1900 counts a cross on a mount as a flaw in that mount's qualities, and leaves the rest of the hand to show what sort of flaw it is.
