How to read the head line: right hand or left hand?

📍 To see it clearly, sit in good light. First find your head line: it usually starts above the life line, between the thumb and the index finger, and crosses the palm horizontally, below the heart line.

Look at its length, its depth and any forks or islands along it: every detail counts in the reading. Then compare your two hands:

• Right-handed? The head line shows the intellectual qualities you have inherited.
• Left-handed? It explains how you develop these qualities.
• Marked in the left hand and thin in the right: determination and ambition need to assert themselves. The other way round, your personality is assertive and full of willpower.

Head line meaning: its length

Its length tells how your mind unfolds:

• Long and straight: balance between mental and spiritual faculties; your willpower is impressive.
• Very long, up to the edge of the hand: a very cerebral, calculating mind, sometimes proud. It is often found among business people and down-to-earth personalities.
• Short: a pragmatic mind that goes straight to the point, but sometimes lacks perseverance.
• Broken: difficult periods in organization and work.

Branches and pattern of the head line

The branches that leave the line refine the portrait:

• A branch coming from the heart line: you are a sincere person.
• Branches towards the Mount of Jupiter: pride and vanity.
• Branches towards the Plain of Mars: you will have to fight to impose your opinions.

Its pattern, in turn, tells the balance of your mind:

• Well drawn and regular: a good overall balance.
• Fragmented: a lack of logic and great naivety; the more fragmented it is, the more absent-minded you are.
• Poorly formed or confused: small debts are possible; keep an eye on your finances.
• Cut by other lines: you know how to question yourself and learn from your mistakes.
• Chained: a hesitant temperament, which sometimes lacks willpower.
• Winding: great rigor and a rather tough personality.

The position of the head line

Its direction and starting point tell how you think:

• Towards the Mount of Mercury: success in business, reached by means that are not always scrupulous.
• Clearly sloping towards the Mount of the Moon: the line of born poets, thinkers and great philosophers.
• Entering the Mount of the Moon: a taste for mystery and the abstract.
• Dropping downwards: an exceptional intelligence.
• Rising upwards: you are easily distracted.
• Starting joined to the life line: shyness and a lack of self-confidence.
• Well separated from the life line: the wider the gap, the more self-confidence and independence of mind you have.
• Sloping towards the life line from the start: the promise of a happy life.
• Very close to the heart line: a tendency to worry.
