Head Line

In Palmistry

Palmistry reads the palm as a portrait of temperament rather than a forecast. The four major lines, the eight mounts, the shape of the hand, and the smaller markings each carry classical interpretations refined over more than two thousand years across multiple cultures.

How Head Line is read

The horizontal crease crossing the centre of the palm, read for thinking style and intellectual temperament. Within palmistry, a reader weighs head line against the rest of the chart rather than reading it on its own. The practitioner notes how it interacts with the neighbouring features, and the result is offered for self-reflection, not prediction.
