The head line begins at the side of the palm
between the thumb and index finger, then runs across the palm
above the life line, as shown in the diagram on left at No.
6 in the key
diagram. What we are and what we do in life depends on
our mind and the way we think, so the head line is a vitally
important indicator.
In general, the length of the line measures a person's intelligence.
If short and extending only halfway across the palm, it indicates
limited mental capacity. Anything less than halfway is rare
and must be considered a serious deficiency of mind. If the
head line crosses right over to the other edge of the palm
it is too long -- head definitely rules heart.
Carefully note the mental potential shown in the head line
on the passive hand, then compare it with the one on the active
hand to see if the person has changed, developed or retarded
his inherited mental ability.
The head line and life line usually join where they begin
between the thumb and index finger. It is only when the head
line breaks away and becomes a separate line that the person
cuts the mental apron strings; while the two lines are united
he or she is strongly influenced by family background. Some
people achieve self reliance and self determination early
in life while others do so much later. You can discover when
this mental independence will be found by calculating the
age on the life line where the head line breaks away.
In some cases the head line begins above the life line and
at no time are they joined together (see above). This is the
hallmark of an independent person and the wider the gap which
separates the two lines, the greater will be the desire for
freedom, self reliance, individuality and independence.
The quality of the head line will reveal much about the state
of the nervous system. A well-defined, clear, deep line indicates
a strong, healthy condition but if the line is shallow, chained
and broken or made up of little islands, the person is highly
strung, restless, nervy and lacking in inner serenity. In
this case, the fingernails may be brittle and fluted with
little ridges instead of being strong and quite smooth.

This diagram shows
the head line in its normal position but a branch line
rises from it and goes up to the Mount of Jupiter under
the index finger. This person is ambitious to achieve
success, greatness or even fame in mental, artistic
or material pursuits. This is a good indication that
life generally will follow an upward course. The direction
the head line follows across the palm is extremely important.

In this diagram
the head line runs straight across toward the Mount
of Mars. This is a sure indication of a practical thinker
with the emphasis on facts, logic and commonsense. Unless
the fingertips are pointed, there will be a lack of
imagination, versatility and mental adaptability. Square
tips will make the person even more factual.

In this diagram
the head line slopes down toward the Mount of the Moon.
This indicates a sensitive, impressionable, imaginative
person who is not preoccupied with practical concerns.

This diagram shows
the head line drooping too far down on to the Mount
of the Moon where it is also broken by chains or islands.
In this case there is too much imagination and the person
constantly lives in a world of fantasy.

In this diagram
the head line is forked, one part going towards the
practical Mount of Mars, the other to the imaginative
Mount of the Moon. This person can see the two sides
of any situation and is adaptable, versatile and broadminded.
The stronger, deeper or longer half of the fork will
reveal whether the person is more practical or more
imaginative.

If at some point
in the head line you see that it veers off course, becomes
shallow or chained or contains an island as in the diagram
on left, you know that something had a marked effect
on the mind for the duration of the particular change
in the line.

| |
| There are literally
dozens of possible variations in the shape, direction, ending
point, branch lines and markings on the head line. |
