I love Cheiro as a writer more than for his extraordinary knowledge in Astrology. I must say, this book covered quite a lot on palm-reading. I know the basic of the same, and now I am on my way learning more about the subject.

I am : versatile with everything, but will not be good at anything unless I apply myself to it, I should think before announce any final conclusions, especially if I am a doctor. Poor health, possibly die before my time and my marriage line sucks as hell.
