The lines have various markings on them. Our guide is too brief to examine them in detail but we will see how these two lines are inter-related to each other. This modifies the meaning and gives texture to the interpretation.

When the heart line appears low in the hand and looks like it's pushing down on the head line, it means that you are ruled by your emotions.

When the head line appears high in the hand and looks like it's pushing up on the heart line, it means that you are ruled by your intellect.

The gap between the heart line and the head line is called the quadrangle. When it is narrow it means you could be close-minded.

When the quadrangle is wide it means you are probably open-minded. If the quadrangle starts narrow and gets wider it means you become more open as you get older.
The gap between the beginning of the head line and the life line is significant. A wide space means an independent nature from an early age. If the two lines are tied together it means a cautious nature-especially if they look chained which means shyness.
