Basic Lines Study

Theory of Lines

The basic division of lines is on Major and Minor lines. Below you will find meaning of these types. In the next chapter, Further lines study, we will give more comprehensive description of them.

Major Lines

	Heart Line	Love, attraction, health of the heart
	Head Line	Mental capacity, health
	Life Line	The length and condition of life
	Fate or Destiny Line	Luck and success
	Line of Sun or Success	Creativity
	The Simian Line	Accomplishment, purpose

	HEART Line: Ovals on the heart line denote line-divorce, separation. A long heart line: Overly romantic. A straight heart line: The mind rules the heart. The heart lines ends on the Jupiter mount: You want to control relationships. Above the heart line: A "V" denotes empathic qualities. A "U" from the Jupiter to the Apollo finger: Gay person
	Affections, emotions, jealousy, relationships, health, anything that touches the heart.

	HEAD Line: Education: College--crosses the entire palm. Masters Program--has branches from the primary Head Line. Small branches: Other courses of study.
	Concentration, common sense, strength of decision, intelligence, imagination, confidence, health.

	LIFE Line: Surround Venus Mount (thumb) Starts from above the thumb and goes to the wrist. If not connected to the Head Line: Caretaker, independent thinker, will give a lot in this lifetime, usually first or last child in the family-- or the only child (if the space is really wide). Double line: Depression, needs therapy at some point. A "V" closer to the wrist: a divorce A split in the line: Moving far, changing destiny. Lines that follow the Life Line of your Venus Mount (thumb area): Spirit Guides, Past Lives
	Vitality, health, physical strength, time, life plans, important events, home, family, purpose

	Fate / Career / Destiny Line: Runs from the wrist straight up to the Saturn (middle finger). Career / careers: will often branch in many directions which will determine changes in career and goals in one's lifetime. Doubled line denotes: working at 2 careers at the same time.
	Destiny, career goals and successes, luck, opportunities, opposition to career.

	SUCCESS
	Creative abilities, direction of creative abilities, fame, inheritance, entertainment (Apollo, The Line of Success).

	SIMIAN
	When the Line of Head and the Line of Heart run together, usually the line goes straight across the palm. The Simian line intensifies the mind and the personality from one extreme to the other - emotionally and intellectually. These people have a great capacity for accomplishment and purpose in life. They have good power of concentration. They are very sensitive and have their feelings easily hurt. It is not a sign of success because of their difficulty to get along with others.
