The three major palm lines are the Life Line (生命线), Heart Line (感情线/爱情线), and Head Line (智慧线). Each line describes different life dimensions and provides interpretive layers when read together.
The Life Line (生命线) reflects physical vitality, health tendencies, and life energy. Its length, depth, and quality indicate overall constitution and the energy available for life pursuits. A well-formed Life Line suggests good basic vitality.
The Heart Line (感情线) reflects emotional expression, relationship patterns, and romantic tendencies. Its shape, starting position, and quality indicate how a person experiences and expresses emotions in relationships.
The Head Line (智慧线) reflects intellectual approach, communication style, and learning tendencies. Its length, straightness, and relationship to other lines indicate how a person processes information and expresses thoughts.
The major lines interact with each other and with minor lines. Lines that support each other create coherent expression; lines that conflict may indicate internal tensions or life areas requiring attention. Understanding line relationships provides fuller interpretation.
