HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;CHARSET=ISO-8859-1">COLOR=black>The heart line governs our emotional lives and shows how we relate to others. It is the major line nearest the fingers, running across the palm from the side of the hand under the little finger and usually ending in the area between the first and second fingers.

are two main types of heart line: the physical heart line and the mental heart line.

SIZE=4>Physical Heart Line

physical heart line (5a) curves towards the end and finishes either on or between the first two fingers. People with physical heart lines are generally able to express their feelings well. Although they suffer their share of ups and downs, they pick themselves up quickly and get on with their lives. They are likely to express their feelings in a physical, assertive manner. We could say to someone with this type of heart line:

“As your heart line ends right up under the fingers, it shows that you have an open nature and can express your innermost feelings. You are warm and affectionate. When things go wrong you manage to pick yourself up quickly.”

SIZE=4>Mental Heart Line

mental heart line (5b) comes right across the palm and does not curve at the end. People with mental heart lines find it hard to express their innermost feelings. They will suffer in silence rather than make a scene. They will have plenty of romantic feelings, which take precedence over common sense. They are sensitive and need plenty of space around them. We might say:

“You have a heart line that comes right across your palm. This is known as a mental heart line, and it makes it rather difficult for you to express your innermost feelings. If you work at this it will gradually become easier for you. You can be rather sensitive at times and possibly bottle things up a bit. You like people, but definitely need a bit of room around you at the same time.”

the heart line governs the emotions it is unusual to find one without defects, as all of us have ups and downs at different times in our lives. The most usual visible sign of this is a series of islands on the heart line at the time these difficulties occurred (5c). These problems are generally relationship ones, and consequently it is very easy to determine if, for instance, someone had an unhappy marriage followed by a happy one. In this case, the earlier part of the person’s life (the part nearest the little finger) will have a multitude of islands, whilst the rest of the line will be clear.

SIZE=4>Ending Positions

the heart line finishes is extremely important. Ideally, it should end between the first and second fingers (5d) as this gives a balance between the ego (represented by the first finger) and the rest of humanity. People with this are realistic about their emotional life, and do not have impossible expectations.

the line ends on or directly under the first finger (5e), the person will be idealistic and easily hurt. Other people will seldom live up to their expectations, leading to frequent disappointments.

the heart line ends on or directly under the second finger (5f), the person is inclined to be selfish and think only of his or her own gratification. There will be a lack of emotional involvement.

you will find a heart line that forks in two directions (5g) at the end. This makes for someone who has a complex emotional nature. He or she will also be able to see both sides of a situation.

the heart line ends with three or more branches (5h), it is an indication of someone who is extremely emotional in all romantic relationships. It is often regarded as being a “lucky” sign, but this is true only if the person is inside a strong, stable, mutually supportive relationship.

SIZE=4>Special Marks

quality of the heart line provides information about the person’s enjoyment of life. Ideally, it should be well marked, deep, and clear. This is an indication of a happy emotional life and a strong heart.

(5i) on the heart line reveal emotional tension―many ups and downs. Crosses and breaks are a sign of emotional loss―the end of a relationship, possibly through death. An island shows a period of depression.

the heart line is doubled (5j), it is a sign that the person’s lover will be extremely caring and protective.

compatibility purposes it is best if the two people have heart lines that end in the same part of the palm. We will discuss compatibility later.

SIZE=4>The Girdle of Venus

often, you will find a fine line between the heart line and the base of the fingers. This is called the girdle of Venus (5k) and denotes extreme sensitivity. It is found most frequently in water hands. People with a girdle of Venus need constant stimulation and variety. This can often be channeled into some form of creativity. A girdle of Venus that is made up of a number of lines parallel to each other creates an extremely sensitive, highly emotional person who may be unstable and neurotic.

SIZE=4>Long Lasting Relationship

there is a fine line parallel to the heart line at the very end (5l). This denotes that the person will have a long-lasting relationship that is still there in his or her old age.
