What does it (supposedly) mean when the head and heart lines are joined on a palm? I saw it (it’s pretty unusual) and was sure that I USED to know the meaning… but I can’t remember it anymore. Now, I don’t necessarily mean the ultimate, true, mystical meaning that predicts anybody’s personality with eerie prescience. 😉 You know. What’s it SUPPOSED to mean??

Thanks for the link… very much appreciated. But it actually kind of left me with more questions than it answered…

If you know a genius, check and see whether their head and heart lines are joined together! This is extremely rare! This person should maintain a tight control and discipline on their mind.  
I still have to wonder what it’s actually supposed to MEAN.
