What does a large triangle at the end of a headline mean in palmistry?

triangles are good marks, meaning having protection or help from another and are normally found near bad marks. If your head line ends with a fork, it means diminished, strained or weakened mind near your life's end (probably senility), and a triangle with or near that means you'll have aids, nurses, or family helping you with that. That's the only reason I could think of why there will be a triangle at the end of the head line. If a fork or any other bad marks (crosses, a small line perpendicular with the head line called a trauma line, the head line breaking apart to rejoin later making an sides ways oval shape called an island, or a star) then it means you'll just have help or protection on a mental level because that's what the head line deals with.
