At a glance
The line read for health, vitality, life force, and the broad current of one's life.
What is the Life Line?
The Life Line does not measure lifespan by its length. What matters is less its length than whether it runs clear, deep, and unbroken: a distinct, deep line is read as good stamina and recovery, while a faint or frequently broken one is a cue to watch for swings in condition. The more widely it sweeps around the base of the thumb, the broader one's energy and range of activity. A short Life Line does not mean a short life, and it has nothing to do with medical lifespan or illness.
