Head Line Meaning — What the Head Line on Your Palm Shows
The head line describes how you think, focus and make decisions.
Where is the Head Line?
The line that starts near the beginning of the life line and runs across the middle of the palm towards the little finger.
Look at your working hand (usually the right) in good light. Cupping the palm slightly makes lines and mounts easier to see. Compare both hands.

Frequently asked questions
What if my Head Line is short or hard to see?
Nothing to worry about. Lines differ from hand to hand and no single line decides anything. The whole hand — and your own effort — matter.
Which hand should I read?
Tradition reads the right hand for men and the left for women. Many readers treat the working hand (usually the right) as the present and the other hand as inborn nature — so look at both.
