A cross is formed by two lines intersecting at right angles, like a plus sign. In most palmistry traditions, crosses are read as obstacles, challenges, or warnings.
However, location changes everything. A cross on the Mount of Jupiter (below the index finger) is traditionally read as a happy marriage or a successful partnership. A cross on the Mount of Apollo is read as creative blockage or an obstacle to fame. A cross on the Mount of Saturn is called the "cross of fate" and read as a life obstacle or even a violent end.
A cross on the head line suggests a period of mental confusion or a difficult decision. A cross on the heart line suggests an emotional obstacle or heartbreak. A cross on the fate line suggests a career setback.
