What this means

First confirm that the branch grows from the heart line rather than simply crossing it or belonging to another crease.

Then note the direction: upward, downward, toward a finger mount or toward the head line.

Read it as context about emotional movement, not as a fixed prediction of a new relationship, breakup or future event.
