What is the indication of a short Head line?

If it stops immediately under the mount of Saturn, it is a sign of a nearly death when other signs appear on the Life line to corroborate it: if not, it is a sign of loss of reason through some love affair, more especially if repeated in both hands. If it stops under the mount of Apollo it shows the subject to have a want of order and fixedness of ideas, and consequently a love of change and carelessness will be shown. A short Head line combined with a short Life line, is a sure sign of a nearly and sudden death, if events are allowed to take their own course.
