The normal type of life line is shown on
left and at No.5 in the key
diagram. It begins at the side of the palm between the
thumb and index finger, swings out around the Mount of Venus
and usually (although not always) terminates near the wrist.
It could be called the Line of Constitution because it gives
indications about your state of health and physical constitution.
In reading the life line, it is important to co-ordinate it
with a person's age. To help you do this, refer to diagram
on left where you will see how the approximate age in years
is marked along the life line. By noting where specific marks
or changes appear in the line, you can assess at what age
important events will occur.
To put many people's minds at rest, please remember that a
short life line does not necessarily mean a short life. However,
since it does relate to the health and constitution, if the
life lines are short on both hands it is an indication that
a serious depletion of strength and vitality, plus a weakening
of the constitution, will occur after the age at which the
lines end. The following descriptions will help you to read
and understand the life line.

Types of life lines
|
|
|
In this case the
constitution was not robust until the age of 35. From
then until nearly 60 health was excellent but the person
went into a decline for his remaining years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case the
early life was good but a serious setback in health
occurred while the life line was divided into an island
from the age of 26 to 38. after which the person recovered.
At about 50 another health problem arose but, because
the ends of the broken life line overlap, he recovered.
However, his health was never quite as strong again,
as shown by the thinner, weaker quality of the remaining
section of the line.

|
|
|
|
In this case the
life line appears to be weak, shallow and chained. This
normally would indicate a weak constitution but, because
a line of Mars runs inside and parallel to the life
line, it supplies the necessary strength and vitality
to counteract the poor quality of the life line. The
line of Mars is not found in many hands but, when seen,
is a valuable asset for good health.

|
|
|
|
|
In this case there
is a break in the life line indicating a serious health
problem from about 38 to 45. However, this break is
protected by a box-like pattern of small lines, making
it possible for a complete recovery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case the
life line changes its normal direction from about 43
to 54, showing that some change in the person's lifestyle
affected the health but not adversely so.
