Heart Line Meaning and Types

The heart line is the uppermost major line, running across the palm below the fingers. It shows emotions, love, relationships and emotional health.

Where it starts

Palmists read the heart line from the edge below the little finger towards the index finger.

Types of heart line

  • Long and curved: warm, expressive and romantic.
  • Straight: more mental and controlled in love.
  • Deep and clear: strong, stable emotions.
  • Faint: sensitive or reserved emotions.
  • Short: practical in love, focused on oneself or one's goals.

Branches

Upward branches show happy relationships and optimism; downward branches show emotional disappointments that were overcome.
