What this means

First confirm that the branch really starts from the head line and is not a crossing crease or fate line.

Then check which direction it rises: toward Saturn, Apollo or Mercury areas can change the theme.

Read it with line depth, hand shape, fate line and both palms instead of treating one branch as a promise.
