✦

Where is the heart line?

It is the highest of the main lines of the hand. It starts at the edge of the palm, under the little finger, and crosses the hand towards the index or middle finger, above the head line.

It speaks of your emotions and your loves: the way you love, the way you commit, and what you expect from the other.

✦ ✦

The length of the heart line

Its length and shape set the tone of your love life:

• Double, longer than the head line and almost touching it: you listen to your heart more than to your reason.
• Short and straight: you tend to keep your feelings to yourself; you are rather reserved, even introverted.
• Long: you are passionate and fiery.
• Curved: your sensuality is lively and instinctive.

✦

The thickness of the heart line

Its more or less marked stroke tells the strength of your feelings:

• Thin or faint: you stay on the surface of feelings, and sentimentality is not your strong point.
• Broad and sharp: you are very passionate, but often afraid of commitment.
• Wavy and sinuous: you find it hard to reveal yourself.
• Very hollow: you show a cold attitude, which protects a heart more sensitive than it seems.
• Deep: you are frank, capable of loyalty and lasting affection.

👉 An absent heart line indicates a distant person. But if your Mount of Venus is high, you can be sensual.

The color of the heart line

Look at it in daylight: its shade reveals your temperament in love.

✦

Branches, chains and breaks

The small signs along the line refine its reading:

• Branches at the start: you are hypersensitive, and your attachments can become very strong.
• Branches at the end: your feelings scatter; take care of yourself and your emotional balance.
• Many chains: you are unstable in love, with a taste for novelty.
• A line that rises and splits at the end: a practical sense guides you in love.
• A line crowded with small dashes: you are sensual and sensitive, and you have known difficult but passionate loves.
• A broken line: a turning point will mark your love life, a break that opens the way to renewal.

Where the heart line starts

The place where it begins, under the fingers, tells how you love:

• From the Mount of Saturn, wide and made of chains: you are wary of love and open up with difficulty.
• From the outer edge of the Mount of Jupiter: you are blindly enthusiastic and put your partner on a pedestal, to the point of forgetting their flaws.
• From the center of the Mount of Jupiter: you are a great idealist, and when you love, it is for life. This is one of the finest heart lines, said to belong to firm, solid people with a high sense of honor.
• Between the index and middle fingers: you are calm, neither proud nor selfish; not very demonstrative, you are still capable of great sacrifices for your loved ones.

Finally, the further apart your heart and head lines are, the more extroverted you are; the closer they are, the shyer you are, especially in love.
