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

I consider it, with one or two exceptions, a fortunate sign

About this entry
Wherever a star appears, Cheiro 1897 treats it as a sign of very great importance. He denies that it is generally a danger with no escape, and holds that it is fortunate with one or two exceptions. The part of the hand or the line it touches decides the matter. One exception lies on the Mount of Saturn, where he reads it as ominous.
Benham 1900 agrees that the star matters and calls it valuable, but says its location alone decides whether it helps or harms. It also sits on his short list of signs that add force to a mount.
