Fortune telling by the life line: what you can learn by looking at your palm
The life line is one of the main lines on the palm that is looked at when telling fortunes. It starts between the thumb and index finger and goes around the base of the thumb. It is believed that this line can tell you what path a person has in store: how energetic they will be, how they will live their life, and what trials they will go through.
How to find the life line on your hand
Look at the base of your thumb; there's a space between it and your index finger, and that's where the life line begins. It curves downward, around the mound of your thumb (called the Mount of Venus), and extends toward your wrist. Don't confuse it with the head line, which runs horizontally across your palm and intersects the life line at the base. There may also be a heart line nearby, higher up, closer to your fingers.
The life line is the one closest to your thumb and runs vertically downward.
What can you learn from looking at your life line?
Your life line tells you about your current state, how much energy you have, how you cope with stress, and how you change over time. If you look closely, you can understand several things. First, your energy level. A clear line means your internal engine is working properly; a weak or intermittent line can be a sign that you're worn out, experiencing accumulated fatigue, or your body is sounding alarm bells. Second, your pace of life and adaptability. If the line runs close to your thumb, almost pressed against it, you're cautious and need more time to understand yourself.
Can the life line change, and why should you look at your palm?
Yes, the life line can change, a fact confirmed by the observations of palmists and physiologists. The skin on the palm changes its pattern over time if a person experiences strong events: psychological shifts, illnesses, injuries, or lifestyle changes. Why is this? Because the palm is an area with a dense network of nerve endings, and it reflects the state of the nervous system and energy. If you live under constant stress for a long time, this will affect your recovery, too. The body changes, and the body doesn't lie.
On which hand should I look for the life line? Does the hand matter?
It is worth looking at both hands, as they show different sides of the same story, there is a difference, and it matters. If you're right-handed, this hand is considered active; it represents what you've done yourself. These are your choices, actions, mistakes, and efforts. The left hand is more about what's inherent in you: character, inclinations, and potential.
The left hand represents you, who you could have been, and the right hand represents who you've become. If the line is deep on one hand and weaker on the other, it's a sign that you're not realizing your potential.
