Mark
Trident
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 tripod or spear-head (Plate XY.) is an excellent sign of success on any mount on which it is found.

About this entry
Tripod or spear-head is the name this mark has in Cheiro 1897, and he gives it one sentence, quoted above. Unlike the triangle and the grille, it gets no mount-by-mount reading, and it is drawn on Plate XV beside the other lesser signs.
Benham 1900 uses the word trident, says it seldom appears, and reads it favorably when cleanly drawn. On this mark he and Cheiro read alike.
