  1. It really means nothing whatsoever, other than the fact that you have a hand.

    Palmistry is just a bunch of mysticism.


  2. In Palm reading this is called the Head Line.

    Wikipedia says:

    head line. This line starts at the edge of the palm under the index finger and flows across the palm towards the outside edge. Often, the head line is joined with the life line. Palmists generally interpret this line to represent the person's mind and the way it works, including learning style, communication style, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge. It is also believed to indicate a preference for creative or analytical approaches to information (i.e., right brain or left brain)....

    There has been little widely accepted research verifying palmistry's accuracy as a system of analysis. Much analysis has been undertaken by readers themselves. No conclusive data have yet been found to support the claims made by readers, and in fact, there is as much anecdotal evidence against the scientific validity of palmistry as for it.

    A Palmistry web site says:

    Head Line: Education: College--crosses the entire palm. Masters Program--has branches from the primary Head Line. Small branches: Other courses of study.


  3. Some people apparently forgot this is a science forum.  The wiki article cited above states that palmistry is considered pseudoscience.  I don't think it even deserves that distinction.  It is simply an ancient form of superstitious divination.  The use of the hand is a hook to get the victim to believe there is some basis for what really amounts to a cold reading.  Same with astrology, crystal balls, tarot, numerology, phrenology, etc.  They are all exactly the same craft with different props.

    They are all bunk as well, despite the obvious residue of medieval minded people who still live in our society and even have computers.
