What does an overlapping head line mean?

Short answer: An overlapping head line usually suggests a shift, restart or recovery in thinking style after an interruption. It is not a mental-health diagnosis or a measure of intelligence.

What this means

First confirm that one head-line segment stops or weakens and another continues nearby, rather than a long double line, fork, island or shadow.

Palmistry often reads broken head lines as focus interruptions or life-direction changes; overlap can suggest the new rhythm begins before the old one fully fades.

Compare the later segment's depth, nearby islands or crosses, the heart line, fate line and both hands before drawing a strong conclusion.
