Palmistry - Palm Reading - The Line of Heart

The Line of Heart is found at the base of the Mounts under the fingers. It denotes the Love nature and relates to all matters dealing with the affections. (Plate 1.)

When appearing more pronounced and more heavily marked than the Line of Head, the desire for Love and Affection will outweigh all other interests. (Plate 2.)

When the Line of Heart is very pronounced but with a good Line of Head, the Love nature will be employed for the good of others. (Plate 3.)

When the Line of Heart begins under the first finger, the man or woman will dictate and "lay down the law" in all matters of the Affections. (Plate 4.)

Starting from under the base of the second finger the Line of Heart denotes a more placid Love nature a woman who puts the accent on the word OBEY in the Marriage Service. (Plate 5.)

When the Line of Heart is deeply marked with a number of small lines running into it and with a large or pronounced Mount of Venus (base of the thumb), the emotional, passionate nature will dominate the life. Famous dramatic singers and emotional actresses always have these indications. (Plate 6.)

When the Line of Heart is not as pronounced as is the Line of Head, the Love nature is over-mastered by the mental desires. Such persons put Love on one side, they generally lead lonely or rather isolated lives, they rarely, if ever, marry, but if they do they become more mental companions than wives or husbands in the true sense of the expression. (Plate 7.)

A "double Line of Heart" denotes the Love nature in excess, but if the Line of Head is long and sloping, the Love nature devotes itself to the good of others. Such persons sacrifice themselves to carry out wonderful plans for the uplifting and redemption of humanity. (Plate 8.)

When the Line of Heart appears to be opposed or controlled by the Line of Head rising upwards against it, the Affections are suppressed or crushed by the desire of the brain. Such persons sacrifice all to their love of money and will tick at nothing to obtain it. (Plate 9.)

More Details of the Line of Heart

The Line of Heart is, perhaps, one of the most important lines of ail. Love, under all circumstances and in all ages, has played the leading role in the drama of life, and, as in nature, so in the hand.

The Line of Heart may rise from the middle of the Mount under the first finger, between the first and second fingers, and also from the middle of the Mount under the second finger.

Rising under the first finger, we get the highest type of love--the worship of the ideal. A man or woman with such a formation would be an enthusiast, they would pour out their hearts in homage to the person they love. At the same time they would demand love in return, they would dictate and "lay down the law" as to how they should be loved.

Such natures, I need hardly add, are somewhat difficult to live with.

The Line of Heart rising between the first and Second finger, the subjects have a still more quiet matters of love. They seem to rest between the ideality given by first type and the tendency to materialism given by the third class. They are quieter and more subdued in their passions, they are capable of deep affection, but they regard love more in a calm and tranquil way.

When the Line of Heart rises from under the second finger, the subjects have a still more quiet fatalist devotion, and, as a rule, are more or less self-contained in their affection. They have great control over their feelings, and are not so expressive or demonstrative as those with the line from under the base of the first finger.

When the Line of Heart goes right across the hand from side to side, an excess of affection is the result, and a great tendency to jealousy.

When the Line of Heart is chained and fretted by a crowd of little lines, it tells of inconstancy, inveterate flirtations, a series of amourettes, but no
lasting affection.

A Line of Heart with the chain formation from under the second finger gives an utter contempt for the opposite sex.

When the Line of Heart is bright red, it denotes great violence of passion.

When pale and broad, the nature is blase and indifferent.

Lying low down, close to the Line of Head and when the latter is deeply marked, the affections are completely controlled by the brain ; such people are usually cold and calculating.

A person with no Line of Heart is hard, cold, devoid of affection, and generally possessed of an iron, unbending will.

Breaks in the Line of Heart tell of disappointment and trouble—under the second finger, fatality; under the third finger, by pride ; and under the fourth, by folly or avarice.

When the Line of Heart is forked on the base of the first finger, it is an unfailing sign of trueness of heart, and enthusiasm in love.

When the line forks with one branch under the second finger, the other running between the first and second fingers, it is a sign of good fortune in matters of affection, but of a tranquil nature.

A Line of Heart, hare and thin, towards the percussion, or side of the hand, denotes sterility and a cold reserved nature.

When the line is quite bare of branches, it tells of coldness of heart and want of affection.

Fine lines rising up to the Line of Heart from the palm tell of those who affect our lives, and, by being crossed or uncrossed denote if the affection has brought trouble or otherwise.
