An entire absence of any of the principal lines denotes either a physical or moral deformity or imperfection, according to which line is absent. The absence of the Head line would indicate the presence of the germ of an incurable disease in the system, hindering the full development of the mental powers and thus producing a one sided character. On an otherwise good and sensitive hand the absence of this line shows intense feeling and an emotional nature, a person whose life is governed by feeling rather than by reason, by the heart more than by the head. Those cases where the Head and Heart lines form one bar across the hand must not be taken as an entire absence of the Headline.
