The rarest major line in palmistry is the simian line. It occurs when the heart line and the head line fuse into a single line across the palm.

Most people have two separate lines: the heart line at the top and the head line beneath it. A simian line means these two lines are merged into one.

The simian line is found in about 1% to 3% of the population. It is traditionally read as a sign of intensity, focus, and single mindedness.

02SIMIAN LINE

The simian line explained

The simian line is a single line that runs across the palm where the heart and head lines would normally be. It is called a simian line because it resembles the palmar crease pattern of some primates.

Traditionally, the simian line is read as a sign of intensity. The person thinks and feels at the same time. There is no separation between emotion and logic.

Some famous people are said to have had simian lines, including Albert Einstein (allegedly). The line is not a guarantee of genius. It is a rare variation.
