q:

What is the meaning of a line from Venus crossing the Life line and ending with a star?

a:

Such a line is called a worry line because it shows anxiety as a rule: for instance, starting on Venus and crossing the Fate line into the centre of the hand called the Triangle and there ending with a star, it shows danger to the mental faculties caused by worry or trouble through other people: if the line of Fortune is cut by this worry line it shows loss of money in early life through the misfortune of the subject's parents.

This sign speaks of trouble or quarrels with relatives at the time it crosses the Life line; if it reaches to the line of Fortune and cuts it, loss of parents by death and consequent ruin is threatened; if, however, the line of Fortune is touched without being cut, good will follow the evil.
