The Heart Line.
Reading edition
The social or heart line holds the central position in the palm. Strange to say, the ancient palmisters, as well as some of the modern school, confounded this line with the thought line. As the heart, the symbol of affection, is found practically in the center of the body, so this line, symbolizing the heart and social element in our nature is found there. It gets its further location by reason of certain well founded physiological laws of the human brain, governing the center of the hand. If full, clear and strong it indicates activity and strength in the social life of the individual; the fullness of the palm on each side of this line shows the good condition and development of the nutritive organs in the body. A hollow and thin palm shows a defective state of the nutritive system.
Note the length, breadth, depth and regularity; also lines crossing the heart line, which show disturbances, heartaches, disappointments or strong attachments in business, social or political life further outlined and established by cross lines and symbols.
