The headline, which extends horizontally from the edge of the palm towards the centre, is one of the main lines on the hand’s palm in the art of palmistry. It is situated just below the heart line.
The head line in palmistry refers to the thought process and facets related to the brain and the mind. It is unbelievable but true, head line does not represent intelligence, knowledge, or skills.
Our mental strength, weakness, stability, instability, and inclinations are indicated by the head line. The head line indicates, where the thoughts originate and terminate.
Normally people learning palmistry or novices palmists, associate the head line to be the line of intelligence. On the contrary, the head line is not the line of intelligence. However, the head line is associated with the thought process.
The head line not be associated with intelligence as well as wisdom. Wisdom is completely different from our thoughts.
Our emotional, psychological, and social well-being are all part of our mental health. It has an impact on the way we think, feel, and act.
What does Head line signify in palm reading?
The head line in palmistry reveals a person’s mental stability, strength and weakness. The IQ of a person is not revealed by the head line. The head line indicates the origin and termination of our thoughts and finally what we seek mentally.
Long Head line in palmistry
The length of the head line in palmistry has no bearing on the person’s intelligence. Although a long head line does represent mental strength, subject to a few conditions. If deep, clear, and straight without a wave-like formation then it indicates mental strength.
There are positive and negative sides, to a long head line. Longer the line, the stronger the mental boundaries the person creates around themselves.
Every situation is unique therefore a long head line can not guarantee sure shot success. A long head line at times does not give us desired results because the person has created mental boundaries and is not able to come out of the mental boundaries.
Short Head line in palm reading
A short head line does not mean the person lacks intelligence or mental strength. The good aspect of a short head line means the person does not make strong mental boundaries.
Generally, it is assumed a short head line means the person is a fool. Although, this interpretation is false.
The explanation is as follows, energy, light or current penetrates the fingers and the palm. Consequently, light/current/energy passes a short head line, without any blockages. On both sides of the head and heart line are various planets. The planets mingle better with a shorter head and heart line.
Sharukh Khan a famous actor, and famous lawyer Ram Jeth Malani from India have a short head line. We can’t assume that the short head line people are fools, on the contrary, I consider it to be better than a long head line.
This is just to illustrate a short head line can be seen in hands of successful people, while it is equally possible a long head line maybe unsuccessful. There is no hard and fast rule to it.
Wavy Head line palmistry
A simple gradual swing of a head line means mental stability while a wave-like formation point to mental instability and irrationality.
A gradual swing/tilt need not be seen negatively but a wavy head line is hugely negative. This does not mean a person with a wavy head line is a failure.
A wavy head line in palmistry points to a lack of total clarity in one direction. The wave-like formation wherever it tilts will demonstrate a shift in one’s mind/nature/personality. The head line if wavy means mental instability, and no amount of money can bring this mental satisfaction.
Saturn association with the Head line
If the head line in palmistry has a bump under the Saturn mount pointing towards the Saturn finger it indicates mental stress, depression etc.
Head line curving deep down towards mount of Moon
If the head line in palmistry dips downwards towards the mount of the moon, it may bring about moodiness, madness, visualization, and romance. Please do not consider madness to be total madness. Madness is of various degrees some positive and some negative.
Double Head line palmistry
It is rare to find a double head line in palmistry. A dual head line means two independent thought processes. However double head line should not be correlated to confusion. Further, it needs to be clarified that a dual mind or dual personality should not be related to confusion.
Both duality and confusion do seem to be similar but they are vastly different in their meaning.
Normal starting location of Head line
The Head Line generally originates at the side of the palm under the mount of Jupiter. However rarely, it may start on the mount of Jupiter or the mount of Mars negative area.
If the Head line starts from the side of the palm. It signifies that the person has an easygoing nature. The person is neither getting influenced by Jupiter nor the Mars Negative mount.
Head line from Mount of Jupiter
The mind seeks Jupiter’s qualities due to the head line originating on the mount of Jupiter. It is a rare sign for the Head Line to originate on the Mount of Jupiter.
The qualities represented by Jupiter are seeking honour, position, power, administration, post, and spirituality.
It signifies the person’s mind is influenced by the qualities of Mount of Jupiter. This is a rare line and very few people have a deep and clear line similar to as depicted in the image.
Forked Head line from Mount of Jupiter
The forked headline from Mount of Jupiter indicates similar meaning as above.
Head line originates on Mount of Mars Negative
Head Line rarely originates on the Mount of Mars Negative. It signifies the person’s mind seeks and is influenced by the qualities of Mars’s negative area.
The qualities represented by Mars Negative area are anger, aggression, fire, spark within us, targeted fire, and untargeted fire. The person is likely to get angry very fast and anger is all the time in the head. A forked headline in palmistry origination on the mount of Mars negative and the normal position of head line too mean something similar.
Meaning of a branch from mount of Mars joining the head line
Forked head line in palmistry originating on Mars’s negative area and joining the head line has a similar meaning as when the head line originates on the mount of Mars negative.
The meaning of a branch joining the head line is more of a temporary nature in comparison if the whole head line originates on the mount of Mars negative.
It brings about anger and aggression in one’s mind leading to some bad decisions. Sometimes in extreme cases, we have to deal with police or court cases but this is an extreme case scenario. Most people may just experience more aggression leading to some problems.
It is stated that failure has its roots in anger. Aggression and rage suppress our intelligence.
What does length of Head line signify in palm reading?
A long head line at best indicates mental strength if it is deep and clear. Although, the length of a headline has nothing to do with intelligence.
The beginning of the head line determines the origin of the mental process, and the ending determines our destination. The head line is frequently read incorrectly as an intellect line, which is totally false.
What does the best kind of Head line in palm reading?
A deep, clean head line without an abrupt swing is considered to be good sign. The head line portrays the mental stability, soundness, and clarity. Our thoughts and deeds reveal a great deal about who we are as people.
People in different professions have different types of head line. A person in a similar profession can have different lines as well.
The head line marked as 1-1 originates on the mount of Jupiter/first finger and ends on the mount of mercury. The meaning is the person seeks and gets the high position of honour due to Jupiter mount. The ending of head line on Mercury brings technical expertise, calculations and communication.
The head line marked as 2-2 originates from the normal original position and tilts slightly towards the mount of the Moon. It means the person is practical as well as imaginative in moderation. Anything in moderation is a good sign, because it brings predictability. Being pridictable means the person can mix freely with people.
This does not mean an abrupt head line person can’t be successful or famous. Our limited point here is just mental stability.
What does an island on Head line signify in palm reading?
The headline if it has an island means mental instability. Island on head line under Saturn mount brings depression, sadness, and mental trauma that may last a few years. Generally, the age on the head line under the mount of Saturn is 30 plus-minus a few years.
These days many palmists talk a lot about the fish sign in palmistry, and detailed articles explain.
The headline if it has an island means mental instability. This portion of life is the most productive portion of life and it is better to have a good head line during productive years, especially from 15 to 35. Any negative sign during these years may have a long-lasting impact on our life.
How do we calculate age on the Head line?
We have different ways to measure and calculate age on the headline. The basic princple is the intersection of the money line and the head line is age 35.
We must look at this aspect in some other way as well. Jupiter revolves around the sun in 12 years. The starting portion of head line is under Jupiter mount. This portion of our life is the portion of growth and expansion depicted by Jupiter. Jupiter is a big planet therefore it’s all about growth and expansion and respect. So the first portion of head line lies under Jupiter therefore it lasts for 12 years at least but may last till age 18.
Saturn takes approximately 29 years to revolve around the Sun. It’s among the slowest planet. After strong growth comes stability and the ground needs to be stabilized to bring concrete growth. This portion of life comes under from age of 12 to 41. Please note the age I am mentioning may vary from person to person.
Depression sign lines in palmistry
An island on the head line under the 2nd finger/Saturn finger may indicate depression. An island can be a fun place to live for few days but it converts into isolation soon.
One of the qualities of Saturn is being isolated. Isolation may at times lead to depression. Isolation can be self-induced or due to some mental or emotional trauma.
There are two types of isolation. The first is when a person is sad due to failed relationship or job loss or no career. The second type of isolation is when a person is super powerful and rich and the individual is cut off from everyone. The desire for too much money or money itself isolated a person.
Upward branches from Head line pointing towards the mercury finger mean success
Forked head line in palmistry pointing towards the fingers is an excellent sign for success in whatever we take up in our life at that given moment.
At the intersection of the head and fate line, the age is 35, there’s an upward kind of a line pointing towards the mount of Mercury. Therefore it means success at the age of 35.
The Mercury is everything to do with our skills. The skills can be engineering medical business statistics economics lawyer drafting skills. Consequently, the meaning attached to this particular forked head line, is success due to skills.
So all kinds of skills can be seen and upward lines of lines from the main line either from the heart line or from the money line pointing towards a finger is always good and it means some gain.
Does Head line indicate wisdom in palm reading?
Mental health on the Head line
Mental health is very important and on a hand. An island on head line means mental isolation or mental issues. It hardly matters if indications are on the left or right hand. The left hand is the passive hand and it is not the active hand but it does play a part in whatever good or bad aspects we can see on any hand.
If we are mentally disturbed during a particular period it’s going to play out somewhere or the other in our life. Unclear, wavy head lines signify mental trouble, and concentration problems and we are not at peace with ourselves. The mental peace is for the duration the island runs on our lines. It will be a troublesome time in our life.
Forked head line in palmistry point towards fingers
When the branches from the head line extend towards the Mount of Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, or Mercury, it is regarded as a highly favorable indication.
By default, when the branches on the head line extend towards the fingers, it is considered a positive indication. Conversely, downward branches on the head line, particularly in its early portion, are seen as a negative sign.
The upward branches originating from the headline and pointing towards the fingers symbolize the potential for achieving higher positions and honor.
It is important to understand that these upward lines should not be interpreted as mere indicators of luck. Rather, they represent a drive for seeking positions of authority and power. Individuals with such upward branches are likely to strive for higher achievements and success in their lives.
The depth and clarity of these upward lines determine the level of benefits one may receive in their pursuit of position and power.
M A says
I agree with your knowledge about the length of brain line. I have a very long brain line. Maximum length it could be. However, I always felt I am not extra intelligent. With life I can analyse myself as a very strong headed person with marvellous ability to deal with difficult situations.
Manish Paliwal says
Thank you for writing. And confirming what I’ve written. The intelligence. Area is the area of Mount of Mercury. Mount of mercury is the area of knowledge.
S says
I have lots of line coming from my head line upwards and it’s true that it shows honour and success.
I am a successful professional
Manish Paliwal says
If branches from head line point towards the first finger the finger of Jupiter the finger of honour then the possibility is honour, power, and position. You must look at other aspects of your hand as well to arrive at the conclusion. The depth and the clarity of these branches do matter. If these branches are feeble, weak, unclear, it is of no use.
Masuda says
A branch of headline cutting the marriage line(the line cutting is very thin)going towards mercury. What does it mean sir?
Manish Paliwal says
You’re asking me to comment? Regarding your hand without looking at it. It is a wrong way of giving up on reading. If the headline cuts the marriage line. It may indicate problem in once a relationship due to. Our thought process. Although the movement of the headline towards the fingers, towards the mount of mercury is an excellent sign. It is a mark of success. And mental upliftment. So this is a reason we can ignore if the cut is very slight. Every line in your hand can be associated with your marriage or your relationship. Therefore, we should not look the hand in the partial way. In isolation. Just one or two lines.
Masuda says
A branch of the headline crosses the heart line, then the line is forked in front of the marriage line, and one fork of that line is cutting the marriage line(the line cutting is very thin) going towards the mercury mount. What does it mean sir?
Manish Paliwal says
This is the repeat question. I have already answered your question.
Manish Paliwal says
A branch of the. Headline. If it moves towards her fingers, crosses your heart line, it would still be considered to be a good sign. It could mean mental upliftment, some success. or upgradation of your knowledge.

Vini says
Great website Sir !!!
What about a head line which is perfect fork right in middle under saturn where both the prongs are equal length. One going down towards luna and other towards outer mars ?
Manish Paliwal says
In a stunning revelation, a perfect fork under Saturn, with equally balanced prongs reaching towards Luna and Mars, holds the key to a rare duality of gifts. The fork leading to Luna sparks boundless imagination, while the prong stretching towards Mars endows a person with unparalleled coolness, calmness, and unwavering tenacity. This unique combination grants an individual the remarkable ability to perceive both sides of the coin, paving the way for true genius to emerge.
Vini says
Thank you for the stunning revelation and making my day !
Manish Paliwal says
thank you
Zachary S Espinosa says
What does it mean when you have a strong, deep, clear head line AND heart line…and when on both hands the head lines connect to each other as well as the heart lines? By the way my head line starts around the area of my mount of jupiter and is separate from my life line.
Manish Paliwal says
Whenever people try to describe their palm, they may be inaccurate in their description.. It is better to have both head and heartline to be extremely simple. without any branches, without anyisland, without. any breaks. Now you might be interpreting your lines in a inaccurate way. The headline originating on the mount of Jupiter is considered to be good because it indicates rising up to a higher position because you aspire to be at a higher position in life. If the heart line dips downward and connects to the head, it is considered to be negative because it indicates misplaced affections. You need not worry too much because many famous people. can have such indications. but still it would be considered as a negative sign.
Ekta says
I have a brain line forked into 3. First fork under the middle finger, one branch goes straight and the other slants down which further forks into 2, one part becomes parallel to the first branch and the third part slopes down to the middle of mount of Mars. What is the meaning of this?
Manish Paliwal says
This intricate pattern prompts curiosity about its significance. The presence of a fork in the head line is often associated with a heightened mental acuity or genius, but making specific interpretations without physically inspecting the hands remains challenging. Additionally, referencing the slope towards the middle of the Mars mount typically implies practicality, composure, and resilience rather than any direct connection to positive attributes related to Mars.
Archita Gupta Roy says
What if one person has a headline very very short in left hand and there is no headline in the right hand?
Manish Paliwal says
A short head line, like the one seen in Shahrukh Khan’s hand, doesn’t necessarily indicate lack of intelligence. However, interpreting a very short head line in one hand and the absence of a head line in the other is challenging without physically examining the hands. In some cases, the absence of a head line could suggest a simian line, but definitive conclusions require hands-on analysis.
abhraneel says
i am concerned i cant find anywhere about it ,i am male on my right hand the head line starts double and then midway it joins into one long line to the other side ,the heart line branches of that all the way down and branches again into two.what does it indicate
Manish Paliwal says
You have described certain things. It may need not be as you have described. You mentioned the headline starts double. What is the quality of the headline? Where does it start from? If it starts from Jupiter, it is a good sign. If it starts from inside. Mars, then it is a negative sign. If it is. not well formed. Then it is a bad sign. So there are so many other possibility. that you have not taken into account. Therefore what should I tell you?
Naincy Verma says
What is the meaning of a lot of small branches with that cuts also on the head line and a lot of chains and dots on the head line?
Manish Paliwal says
Branches on the headline leaning towards the base of the palm signify negative indications, potentially leading to mental disappointments. Conversely, branches pointing towards the fingers denote mental upliftment and success. Small branches intersecting the headline suggest problems, especially if they originate from a negative area within the lifeline. Numerous chain dots on the headline are also negative, indicating prolonged mental stress, anxiety, and hardships.
Bhargavi says
A line originating from headline and going upwards pointing to Jupiter mount is it good or bad sir and I have straight heart line upto Jupiter mount what does it mean?
Manish Paliwal says
A line from the Jupiter amount if it joins into the headline is a beautiful sign to have indicating the person would rise up to high position. The person would be a. in a high position in the past, present and the future But it all depends upon the quality of line. Stronger the line, the better the possibility. Weaker the line. The possibilities are. weak. a long hard line means a more emotional person. Sensitive person. Higher expectations and the person may lose the opportunity to make money where there is an opportunity. Although this does not mean that the person will not have money. Baba RamDev and Sergei Brin. Both of these people have a long heart line yet they have huge amount of money in their life.
