Palm Lines
Five lines, five different kinds of truth.
Do not read a line alone. In Chinese palmistry, each line is checked against the hand type, the mounts and the difference between left and right.
The Life Line in Chinese Palmistry
The arc that wraps your thumb is the line Chinese masters read first. It is not a clock counting down your years — it is a record of vitality, of how strongly your body and your will are bound together.
The Heart Line in Chinese Palmistry
The upper line beneath the fingers records how feeling becomes action. Chinese readers watch where it begins, how cleanly it travels, and whether it bends toward the index finger or retreats toward the outer palm.
The Wisdom Line in Chinese Palmistry
Known in Western palmistry as the Head Line, this middle line is where Chinese readers watch judgment, learning style, and the private weather of the mind.
The Fate Line in Chinese Palmistry
The vertical line rising toward the middle finger is not present on every hand. When it is clear, Chinese readers treat it as the spine of vocation, duty, and timing.
The Marriage Line in Chinese Palmistry
The small lines on the outer edge beneath the little finger are easy to overread. Chinese readers treat them as relationship contracts, not a count of marriages.
