Heart Line Meaning — What the Heart Line on Your Palm Shows
The heart line describes your feelings, love and the way you care for relationships.
Where is the Heart Line?
The line just below the fingers, starting from the little-finger side and running towards the index or middle 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 Heart 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.
