The life line is perhaps the most controversial line on the hand. A widespread misapprehension about the life line is that it discloses how long you will live or when you will die. It does however reveals information about the encounters in your life, relationships with others, health and physical and emotional well-being. The belief that a person's life span can be determined by the life line was created centuries ago by people who wanted to take advantage of gullible people. Over the centuries, this lie took root until it was a common practice to consider the length of the life line as the life expectancy of the individual. This myth has become so embedded in the modern practice of palmistry that even some books on palmistry perpetuate it as a truth.

Short Life Line

Short life line means there is a shortness of energy for overcoming life's challenges. This person runs out of energy quickly and doesn't complete all tasks before stopping to rest. She or he often misses deadlines and needs someone to keep pushing her or him to completion of responsibilities.

Broken Life Line

People with a broken Life Line tend to have a unique trait concerning how they do not rest and review what they have completed. It seems that these people go from one challenge in life to the next challenge without resting and reviewing what they have learned.

Double Life Line

If you have a secondary line running parallel, inside or outside of the Life Line there is significance in this palmistry marking. This extra line indicates a feeling of strength and support from family members when growing up. These lucky people with an extra line are so confident about their future that they make numerous changes in life, seeking the very best that life has to offer.

Life Line on Fate Line

Some people have their Fate Line replacing part of their Life Line as shown at the right. This palmistry marking indicates they have no strong sense of purpose in life. Often their career becomes their primary purpose in life, with all their energies going to their job. Self-esteem and sense of purpose depend on what successes are achieved on the job or in their career.

Chaotic Life Line

A messy life line indicates many obstacles that block personal success. On women, a life line that zigzags suggests a stubborn and aggressive personality, and does not bode well for love. Ladies with lines that look wobbly have a hard time finding a husband.

Break in Life Line

If there is a break in the life line, it suggests that luck tends to be better during the early years, but this luck can change tremendously as one gets older. There are a lot of ups and downs in life, but it also indicates that “After each storm comes the calm”.

Absence of Life line

No it doesn’t mean that the subject is about to die, rather an absent life line shows a sluggish and high-strung person, with a tremendous nervous energy.

Straight Lines

If your life line is straight and rather close to your thumb without much curving around the thumb base or very slight curved, you likely live very cautiously. You may be worried about contracting illnesses from others. You may be afraid to take risks in love and other areas of your life. Straight-laced is a good description of this type of life line.
