The Line of Heart
The Line of Heart is the line running under the mounts at the base of the fingers.
This line, being on the upper, or intellectual, part of the hand, relates more to what it might call the mental outlook on the affections rather than the physical or sensual.
The Line of Heart may rise from the following distinct positions.
Lying straight across the palm, the Line of Heart denotes an honest, sincere, affectionate disposition, but not one likely to be swayed by any great emotions one way or another.
Rising from the Mount of Mars inside the Life Line (A, Fig. 1) is in itself an unfortunate sign as the character of the person will be irritable, quarrelsome and exacting in all matters of the affections.
Sloping downwards and touching or joining the Life and Head Lines (B, Fig. 1), it is unfortunate from the standpoint that the subject perhaps from lack of perception appears to trust or love the wrong people. He will be inclined to suffer repeated disappointments in those he cares for. Rising from the centre of the Mount of Jupiter (C, Fig. 1), it denotes a nature exalted in its ideas of affection. Men or women with this sign are firm and reliable in their love nature, ambitious that those they care for may be successful in life. They seldom, if ever, marry beneath their station or rank m life, and as rule marry above it.

Perhaps because of their pride or high ideals, they will be inclined to have fewer love affairs than those under other indications.
This same line coming from the top or outside of the Mount of Jupiter produces an excess of the above qualities. A man or woman with such a line would be a blind enthusiast about any person he or she loved or even cared for. In their pride they can see no faults or failings in the being of their choice. In love they are carried away by their enthusiasm, and often have bitter disappointments when the idol they have worshipped turns our to have 'feet of clay*.

The line of Heart from between the first and second ringers (D, Fig. 1) is perhaps one of the best signs to have, as it denotes a strong deep nature in matters of the affections. Such persons appear to rest between the ideality given by the Jupiter Line and the solid seriousness given by the Mount of Saturn. They may not be so demonstrative as persons who have the line from Jupiter, but they are deeply in earnest in their protestations and promises.
When the Line of Heart rises on the Mount of Saturn (E, Fig. 1) the subject is more self-contained in his affections. In fact self in every sense plays the principal part in such a man or woman's love affairs. They have less ideality about such thing than those who have the line from Jupiter. If the hand is soft and flabby they are more inclined to be sensual than affectionate.
All these qualities are in excess when the Line of heart rises high on the Mount of Saturn.
When (he Heart Line is in itself in excess, namely, lying right across the hand from one side to the other, the desire for affection becomes a torment. Such persons love so intensely they cannot bear the person they love to be out of their sight, and therefore continual unhappiness is usually the result.
A broad Heart Line either, from or under the Mount of Saturn formed by a series of 'islands' denotes there is little of no love for the 'person's opposite sex. On a soft hand, especially if the Mount of Venus is full and prominent, unnatural desires may be feared.
When the I.ine of Heart is very low down, on the palm with lines connecting it to that of Head, the affairs of the heart will always mix themselves up with those of the head, and a general muddle of things will be the result.

When the Line of Heart appears with a lot of line lines dropping down from it as in (A, Fig. 2) it denotes an inconsistent nature inclined to fritter away the affections by a series of flirtations or amourettes. Such persons must always be 'in love' to live at all, but with them affection is but a name.
When the Line of Heart commences on the Mount of Jupiter with a clear, distinct fork (B, Fig. 2), it is an excellent sign of success in love; also of a happy disposition in all questions of the affections. Such persons are inclined to 'make the best of everything', even of their own disappointments.

The Line of Heart found with a wide fork at the commenceŽment (A, Fig. 3), one branch on Jupiter, the other between the first and second fingers, is also an excellent sign of an affectionate disposition that Is well balanced. When the fork is found extremely large with one branch of the Mount of Jupiter, the other on Saturn (B, Fig. 3), the subject will have a contradictory nature in matters of the affections, swayed as it were between the qualities of Jupiter and Saturn.
Such persons will be difficult to live with and to understand. They will be both sensual and idealistic, selfish and generous, demonstrative or the reverse, according to the mood of the moment.

If the Line of Heart is seen devoid of all branches, and just a thin looking line the man or woman will have little affection or the desire for it.
When appearing as if it was fading out or becoming slighter at the end under the fourth finger, it denotes that advancing age will bring sterility in the affections, cold-heartedness and indifference.
If on looking at a hand it is observed that the Heart Line appears to stand out as the most important or deeply marked line on the palm, it will be found that the love nature is all that matters to such persons; but with a good Head Line and the rest of the hand well marked this love nature is likely to find its outlet in self-sacrifice for others, especially those in sufferŽing. Such persons make wonderful missionaries, helpers, nurses, prison visitors or workers among the poor.
My last word of advice to those interested in this study is that they should carefully observe the other main lines of the hand before passing judgment on one particular mark or indication. To learn what each line means separately is absolutely necessary to have a good foundation. It is what technique is to music. The musician studies in detail the components that go to make the whole, but eventually reads at a glance all the tones, semi-tones, harmonies and discords on the written sheet. Just so will the student after some practice group and read together the chords or discords of life as shown by the lines on the human hands.
