The Head Line reveals the way one thinks, processes information and sees the world. There are dozens of basic Head Line types – combined with the quality, length, gaps, crosses, forks or breaks, and you get an infinite amount of possibilities. But here are some simple ones to look out for: do you recognise your own?

Short Head Line: The Practical Thinker

Short Head Line

These types are impulsive thinkers; they live in the ‘now’, and want results in the present. They can be very good at business and money making – wanting tangible results. Their targets and goals are confined within a certain range – usually focusing on the home, family and money making. They need information quickly and get bored by too much detail.

Long and Straight Head Line: The Logical Analyzer

A long straight Head Line shows a deep logical thinker – a planner, with a complex mind. Realistic, logical and practically minded, this person has a lot of mental computing power and needs complex information and tasks, otherwise they will over analyse things and drive themselves crazy.

Dipping Head Line: The Creative Mind

This is a more subjective Head Line. It is dipping to the subconscious area of the hand. This is someone self-reflective, who sees the world in a unique way. It is found on artists, film makers, poets and song writers. There is a strong creative sense, which the person must express or low moods will occur.

Island on the Head Line: The Complex Thinker

A large(ish) island on the Head Line affects someone’s clarity of thought, as the island is an obstacle to the thinking process. It shows stress in the mind and means the person can take a while to understand and work something out. Self-doubt and confusion are likely with a bigger island.

Separate Head and Life Lines: The Independent Thinker

This shows freedom of thought – a person who thinks independently. There will be no strong ideas or beliefs conditioned by their family or upbringing. These people are freer to make decisions away from family and others, as they are not tied to their upbringing in any way. There is more room for original thinking with this Head Line.
