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

It indicates obstacles against the success of that particular mount

About this entry
Grilles are very often seen, Cheiro 1897 says, and generally on the mounts. He adds that the obstacles come from the person's own tendencies, as they match that part of the hand. On Jupiter he reads egotism and a dominating spirit, on the Sun vanity and a wish for celebrity, on the Moon restlessness, and on Venus caprice in passion.
For Benham 1900 a grille weakens the mount it sits on, though he wants the color and the main lines checked before saying how. Both books count against the sign, and only Cheiro names the quality for each mount.
