Lines

The heart line – Found at the top of the palm, under the fingers. This will be of particular interest if you are looking for a love reading as it can indicate emotional stability, passion and romantic perspectives.
The head line – Starts under the index finger to the outside edge of the palm. This line represents creativity, intelligence and thirst for knowledge.
