The Major Lines
Life Line
The life line starts between the thumb and the index finger. It then curves down widely around the thumb until it touches the wrist. This line represents your health, vitality, and quality of life. It can also show major events in your life and how others affect you. Its length has nothing to do with how long you will live. If you have an extra life line, you have extra protection against ill health.
- Curvy – lots of energy
- Short or shallow – easily manipulated
- Break in line – sudden change in life
- Close to the thumb – not generous with time or love
- Circle interrupts line – injury or hospitalization
Heart Line
The top, horizontal line on your palm is the heart line; it starts from the edge of the hand where your pinky finger is and travels across the top of the palm. Many palm readers use this line to determine our romantic relationships. It can also indicate our actual cardiac health, emotional stability, and tendencies toward depression. Breaks in the love line can represent heartbreaks and breakups.
- Ends between fore and middle finger – falls in love easily
- Straight across the palm – even, controlled emotions
- Wavy – lots of lovers, but no serious relationships
- Straight and short – more about sex than romantic love
- Touches life line – frequently heartbroken
Head Line
The head line is the horizontal line right below the heart line. It represents what kind of intelligence you possess and the way you communicate. A curved head line indicates a creative, spontaneous type while a straight line indicates a more practical and ordered approach to life. A clear line indicates focus; the longer the line, the more potential you have.
- Wavy – short attention span, little focus
- Straight – realistic
- Circle or cross in line – crisis
- Close to heart line – fearful, cautious nature, close-minded
- Far from heart line – confident, a risk taker, open-minded
Fate Line
This line begins at the bottom of the palm and travels upward toward the middle finger. It is also called the line of destiny. Often broken and overlapping other lines, it shows how much (or little) our lives are affected by external circumstances, like society, our friends and families, and world events.
- Strong and deep – very controlled by fate
- Breaks/changes in direction – prone to changes from outside forces
- Lines that cross fate line – others will affect your destiny
- Starts joined to life line – self-made individual
- Joins with life line – personal interests will be surrendered to those of others
- Starts at base of thumb and crosses life line – support from family and friends
