One way to know the future is by hand reading. You can learn a lot about a person and what kind of tests he is facing, only by looking at his hand and seeing the lines located on it. This method of fortune-telling is quite ancient, it was used even before our era in Ancient India, but then it was not just fun, as in the current technological world, but a way to learn more.
This article will consider one of the main lines - the line of life (description, designation of various marks on it, etc.).
Palmistry. General information
The ancient art of reading lines on hands today is returning to its position. In certain circles, you can find real experts who will tell you a lot about this, and also fully read your life in the palm of your hand. To become an expert in these matters yourself, you should learn a lot, besides this, intuition is very important, since sometimes it is quite difficult to understand the intricacies of lines. You also need to know the minor nuances.
If we turn to history, we can find out that many minds of the past were keen on palmistry. For example, Hippocrates, the doctor Galen, Aristotle. In the Middle Ages, Paracelsus and Johann von Hagen systematized already known knowledge. Therefore, palmistry became so popular among the population at that time. She was also studied at medical universities of that time.
Only in the 19th century did the scientist Darpantigny from France discover that on one palm the lines remain unchanged, and on the other they are constantly changing. Today, this ancient tradition (reading fate by hand) is returning at a rather slow pace. Psychologists were the first to realize that reading the lines could help treat diseases. And in fact, hands reflect the character of people, as well as their future. More and more famous doctors are interested in the science of dermatoglyphics. It is looking for a connection between the signs on the fingers and the outlines of the lines on the palms with some genetic factors.
How to read lines on hands?
To correctly read the lines on the hands, you must first find them. Moreover, on the left and right hand they can differ significantly - be on one and completely absent or have a different shape on the other. Why is this happening? The thing is that one hand shows what a person came into this world with, what is destined for him, and the second hand talks about what is really happening now. That is why the lines on the hands have differences.
So, the hand that shows the destined is the left, and the right tells about what really happened to the person, what he was able to change in his life and what to achieve. However, if, for example, the life line on your left hand (which, in fact, will be discussed in our article) is long, and on the right - short, then this is not a reason to panic. Typically, palmists look at two hands at once, so they determine the future fate in a comprehensive way, because the line of life is usually influenced by the lines adjacent to it, as well as various inclusions on it. Of course, the line of life is of great importance, because it is one of the most important on the human hand.
It should also be noted that all of the above conditions are true if a person has an active right hand (i.e. he is right-handed). If a person is left-handed, then everything happens exactly the opposite. The right one will show the destined destiny, and the left one will show everything that actually happened, that was achieved by one’s own labor.
The main lines of the hand and some secondary
Now consider what are the most important lines on the hand. Only four belong to them, and they are more sharply marked on the hand:
- Line of life.
- Head line.
- Heart line.
- The line of fate.
So, if you want to know what awaits you in the future, what tests, then examine your hand and the lines on it, and palmistry will help you with this. The line of life on the hand can warn of possible adverse health situations, show your well-being and changes in life (any from injuries to moving). The line of the heart tells about emotional stability, love situations, some mental illnesses or heart diseases.
The line of the head indicates how communicative a person is, how high his intellect and breadth of thinking, as well as a thirst for knowledge. No less important is the line of fate. It shows how much external life influences a person’s life, which he cannot control.
There are also lines that are not the main ones, but which can significantly influence fate or predict your future. So, we will consider them in more detail.
- The line of the sun. It defines talent and happiness in human life.
- Belt of Venus. Shows emotionality and sensuality.
- Also important are the lines on the wrist called bracelets. The first bracelet shows your health, the second tells about wealth, and the third - about love.
- Marriage line. Everything is clear here. They show your serious romantic relationship.
- Children's lines can show how many children you plan in life.
- Travel lines. With their help, you can find out about future travels, as well as whether they will be successful or not.
- No less important is the line of intuition. If it is, it means that a person quite often anticipates future events and their actions.
Life line
In more detail in this article we will talk about the lifeline. Consider its location on the hand, find out where the line of life is. It begins between the thumb and forefinger, most often it is closer to the thumb. Its length will talk about a possible life expectancy, as well as show the degree of human health. Let's just say that a short life line does not always mean that a person’s life will not be very long. This may indicate that health will be poor, so it will need to be protected.
The line of life on the left hand is also important. It must be carefully studied. After all, if you are destined to live long, then you just need to reconsider your current life. If you are comparing two hands, then those areas that are the same are the main ones and will have an impact on your life. They need to pay special attention.
The ideal line of a person’s life is not very deep, long, smooth (without any sharp turns), pink in color over the entire length of the strip. Also, it should not have gaps, islands and other defects, because they are the ones that signal the difficulties that await a person in this period. You also need to pay attention to how the line of life begins. Decryption of this data is also important. For example, if the line of the head and the line of life only touch at a small acute angle, then this is good.
Less favorable if the angle is dull. Then human well-being is unlikely. If they do not touch at all, but are at a wide distance from each other, then this indicates sadness. It also affects the temperament of a person. Connected lines are the presence of prudence, prudence and discernment. If they are separated, then these qualities are not, but if they are at a distance from each other, it means that a person is stingy and conceited.
It is unfavorable if the line of life and the head are connected in a long stretch. This indicates that human perception is inhibited. An approximate or connected line of life with the line of the heart speaks of misfortune. Here you need to be very careful. Now, knowing how to determine the line of life on the hand, as well as some of its features in the arrangement, you can consider how your line looks.
Features of life lines in women
Now we will consider what features the line of life in women has. For example, if you can see round or oval “islands” on it, then for the fair sex it can symbolize menopause (since these are signs of changes in physiology or body). If you correctly calculate the age on the line, you can even say when it will come.
Short life line: feature
So, it’s clear now that a long line of life is almost always good and positive. But what does the short life line mean? How negative is it for a person? This was said a little above, but I want to repeat again that a line that does not reach the wrist does not mean a short life. Here you must carefully examine both the left and right hand, compare. You also need to pay attention to other main and secondary lines, they are also important.
In some interpretations, a short life line (especially if it is the same on both hands) indicates that a person is “threatened” with an easy and long life that will be happy and rich both in adolescence and in adulthood. The downside is that a person can be too arrogant, which affects his relationship with people, he can be quite lonely. To exclude this, it is recommended to correctly evaluate events, then there will be less disappointment. But still, energetically, a person is rather weakened and this should be taken into account. As well as the fact that there may be obstacles on the way that need to be overcome.
What do the various short-life icons mean?
A life line without various defects is a rather rare occurrence. Usually it has various signs (for example, a triangle on the line of life) that warn of danger or other events in a person’s life. This is especially important for those who have a short lifeline, which may indicate a lack of energy in the body. Let's consider in more detail:
- Dash. This indicates some upheaval at the stage of life where they are located.
- Breaks. This reports diseases that are often fatal, and if the lines overlap, then this indicates a change in life.
- The chains that make up the line. These are periods of loss of energy or its lack. As a result, apathy or depression may appear.
- If a cross is found on the line, this marks a difficult period in life.
- Lattices speak of an aimless way of life, when a person simply lives day after day, not thinking about the future, nor about his development.
- The pronounced islets on the line indicate diseases, chronic or sudden, about a difficult period. This may be a sign of depression due to an event.
- A square on the line is very favorable, especially if it is where there is a gap. This suggests that a possible threat to life will be successfully overcome. And if after this event the line of life goes clean and smooth, then there will be no consequences.
- Finding specks on the line, we can say that a person is quite fragile and prone to disease.
- The triangle on the line of life is a sign of an intelligent and diplomatic person.
- The presence of a star indicates an injury or accident. As a result of this event, shock can occur, as well as energy weaken and poor resistance to external factors.
- The grooves on the line speak of a nervous person.

Bifurcated line of life (short) and branches on it
Very often, at different intervals, the life line bifurcates or has different branches. This can say a lot, so let's look in more detail.
- If there is a small branch down at the beginning of the life line, then this indicates psychological trauma (if the life line and the head go together for a certain interval) or about illness for life (if the life line and the head are at a distance from each other).
- Pay attention to the end of the line of life. If there are small branch lines, then a person will be provided financially, and from childhood on. This is, as it were, the material good of the family itself. But there is a flip side to the coin. This person can have many enemies who are waiting for his fall. If everything happens this way, then you need to protect yourself. You can’t talk about your successes or any secrets to people whom you cannot completely trust. It is not necessary to cooperate with the same people, otherwise fraud is possible.
- Pay attention to how the line of life relates to the line of fate. If it connects to it at any site, and a small but very clear line appears nearby, then we can say that a person has a psychological trauma in his past, and after that there was a recovery period and everything returned to its original place.
- If your line of life simply bifurcates in any place, then this means double life. Such people often deceive, do not do what they promise. They can have a second family, in which children can also be. Moreover, the first family is also important for such a person, and he would not want to lose it. If you calculate the age at which branching begins, you can find out when the period of double life begins.
- If the end of the line of life has a large and clear fork, then this is a very sociable person. He constantly needs fresh impressions, he needs flirting and traveling. Such a person is always in a hurry somewhere, thinking about something. Often, he does not notice really important events and people in his life.
- If the fork at the end is small, then we can say that in front of you is a dreamer. He has good intelligence and imagination, but he is very susceptible to external factors. Even with good ideas, he can reverse if he meets resistance and rebuff.
- If your line of life is like a branch (that is, it has different branches), then this is favorable, but only if the branches are directed upwards. Yes, there will be difficulties, but everything will end happily.
- If the twig looks down, it is much worse. In this case, a person has rather diverse interests, which prevents him from achieving a result in at least one thing.
- More rare branches on the line of life indicate a good analytical mind. Such a person is bored and uncomfortable with people who do not reach him. A negative character trait of this type can be called incredulity, which is why such people are lonely and unsociable.
- If there are very few branches, but they are pretty well drawn, then such a person is a leader. This is a fairly independent person who implements his plans immediately. Such a person will not tolerate interference in his life; he is rather stubborn and firm.
- There is also a life line where branches of small length are directed down. This is a sign of a person who does not unnecessarily interfere in the affairs of others. At the same time, he feels good almost everywhere, can become the soul of the company or can easily make new friends. Prefers to travel.
Now you know what it means if the line of life is bifurcated, and also if it has different branches on the arm.
What do life line gaps mean?
No less significant are the gaps in the line of life on the arm. It is especially important to know if it is short. In most cases, this indicates a danger (illness or injury), and it can lead to death of a person. During this period, you should be very careful and attentive. Particularly necessary to pay attention to the line of life, which continues after the gap. If it goes smooth, clear, then there is nothing to worry about. Whatever happens, everything will end happily.
If the gaps in the line of life on the arm are enclosed in a square, then this is a very favorable sign - a person will be saved, nothing bad will happen. It is also favorable if next to this place is the second line of life, which indicates the guardian angel. Then the personal energy of a person is definitely enough to overcome difficulties and illness.
Life Line Branches to the Hills
If you, considering your life line, saw that it has long branches to the hills of your hand, then this is often a sign that warns of misfortune. When decoding the lines on the hand, this is not the last value. If your life line is short, then these signs can show how complex your life will be. In rare cases, luck holds promise. Let's consider in more detail.
- Line going to the hill of the moon. A person will overtake a disease that is associated with a fight or injury. An accident could result in serious physical injury.
- The line leading to the hill of Venus. She warns about the illness of your husband or wife.
- The line going to the hill of Jupiter. There will come a period in life when career growth or luck in financial matters is possible (for example, winning the lottery).
- The line going to the hill of Saturn. This is a sign of problems at work. He also says that there will come a period when there will be mutual misunderstanding in the family (problems with children, husband / wife), irritation towards loved ones.

Conclusion
Now you know where the line of life on your hand is, as well as various signs on it that can warn of misfortunes in your life. However, it should be remembered that you can only be warned of impending troubles. This is precisely what palmistry means. The line of life on the hand can change if you yourself change (lifestyle, actions, attitude to the world). Even fatal diseases can be alleviated by monitoring health and playing sports. Remember that for the correct reading of any lines on the hand, it is necessary to compare both hands, since sometimes the signs on one are neutralized by the signs on the other.
