Palmistry Lines: Reading the Heart Line

The key points to remember when looking at the lines on the palm are that lines shift and change, and that the quality of a line is one of the most important indicators of a line’s interpretation. Some authors say that they view the lines as energy power lines or as rivers as a way of understanding how clear and strong a line is.

The Heart Line

The Heart line starts on the percussion side of the hand and runs towards the Index finger area. An average Heart line ends somewhere between the Index and Middle fingers. This line concerns emotional make-up, the capacity to feel and to love, how it is expressed and how we relate to others.

A clear, deep, gently curved line that ends between close to the Index and Middle fingers shows someone who is emotionally balanced, has depth of feeling, and balanced emotional expression.
