Also called: Suwon Line

Where on the hand: A Heart line that crosses the entire palm while a separate Head line remains present — the mirror image of the Sydney line.

What it looks like: The upper of the two transverse creases runs the full width of the palm from radial edge to percussion, with a normal Head line still below it.

Read as demanding expectations in relationships, with money and power prioritised. Emotion runs the whole width of the life.

Read with care: CLINICAL FACTS. The Suwon crease is a morphological variant described in prevalence studies (notably Korean and Chilean); it carries no diagnostic meaning. Its palmistic reading is a very recent invention, since classical palmistry predates the crease's identification entirely. Two corrections: the Suwon crease is usually, not always, the rarest of the three variants — in the Ethiopian series it outranked the Sydney line. And the second prevalence study often cited beside the Korean one is Sharma & Sharma's survey of 1000 subjects in Central India, published in the International Journal of Morphology — a Chilean journal, which is where the description of it as a 'Chilean study' came from. That same study tested all three crease variants against every anomaly in its sample and found no associations.
