Bars cutting the Lines - Headaches.
A branch from the line deep into the Mount of Jupiter, terminating in a star - Success.
This is one of the few cases when a star is considered as a favorable omen. The divergency of opinion upon the subject is quite remarkable. I feel more and more inclined, however, to follow the readings of a most brilliant English palmist, Mrs. Kathryn St. Hill, and to consider all stars as disastrous, except when closely associated with some exceptionally fine indications. And yet, in this case. I shall let the pleasant omen stand, as Desbarrolles is particularly emphatic in his favorable reading of Stars on Jupiter.
A branch from the Line ascending to the root of the first finger, but not cutting it - Ambition.
A branch from the Line deep into the Mount of Jupiter cut by a bar or terminating in a cross - Failure of one's main ambition.
