The head line
This line represents intellect, reasoning ability, logic and our consciousness.

START OF THE HEADLINE
Starting above the lifeline

This represents a very independent person. However the closer the head line starts to the first finger, the more this independence becomes arrogance.

 

Starting with the lifeline
This is the most common position and shows a degree of cautiousness. It indicates an influence on the person from the family and early life, the longer they are linked the stronger the family influence.

 

Starting within the lifeline
This shows an over-cautious person who is very reliant on other people.

 

 

Straight head line
This shows a lack of imaginative creativity, decisions are based on fact alone, everything is seen in black and white

 

Rising head line
This shows a loss of contact with reality, someone who is more interested in the subjective, mental and emotional experience of life

 

POSITION OF HEAD AND HEART LINES
If they are very close together thoughts are very influenced by the emotions and can produce mental or emotional stress.
The Simian Line
A merged head and heart line is called the Simian Line. This represents someone who does not think rationally and finds it difficult to separate thoughts from emotions. There have been some very prominent people who have had a Simian Line and have achieved great work because of their intensity in carrying out their work. But there are also people with the marking who have carried out brutal crimes of passion.
APPEARANCE OF HEAD LINE
Deeply, clearly drawn line

This represents a good energy flow, strong values or philosophies and high mental motivation and clarity

Lightly drawn

This shows fluctuation in attitude and thought processes.

LENGTH OF HEAD LINE

Long

This shows someone who takes a great deal into account and may see all sides to an argument or situation equally but finds decisions difficult to make.

Short

These people are very hasty but also logical and practical in the way they make their decisions. They react quickly and don't tend to take much into account apart from the basic and obvious.

Islands, dots and fine lines leaving the head line

These weaken the line, showing a lack of concentration and continuity and those with these markings are prone to worry.
