03/10 - The Line of Life

T H E L I N E O F L I F E









The line of Life (Life line) is the line which shows the longevity, health, temperament, success, accidents etc. Please see the picture above which shows the main lines in the palm and the fingers. The picture is taken from the book "Language of the Hand" by Cheiro, very famous author of Books on Palmistry.





The line of Life is one of the most important lines in the hand. It starts from below the Finger of Jupiter and encircles Mount of lower Mars and Mount of Venus and reaches the base of the hand.

The line of life should be long, narrow and deep without breaks, crosses and irregularities. Such hand indicates long life, good health and vitality.



When the line of life starts from below the Mount of Jupiter (mount below the index finger) instead of from the side of the hand, it shows that the life has been one of ambition.



If the line of life is closely connected with the line of Head at the start, the life is guide by reason and intelligence. The owner of such hand will be extra sensitive with anything which affects him.



If there is medium space between line of Life and line of Head, the person is more free to carry out his plans and ideas. It denotes energy and go-ahead spirit. If the space is very wide, the person will have too much confidence. It also denotes that the person will be foolhardy, impulsive, hasty and lacks reasoning.

When the line of life, line of head and line of heart are joined together at the commencement, it shows that the person runs into danger and catastrophe. This also shows that the person lacks his perception in his dealings with others.

Many persons have their life line with lots of chains at the commencement of the line. This shows that the persons had suffered bad health in the initial part of his life. If there is a break in the life line, but another line starts near it but before the first line ends. It shows that there will be accident or ill health which may threaten life, but the person will survive.

There is an instance where a person came to show his palm to me. His life line was having a break and just before this break there was another life line starting. There was no such break in his left hand. This sign was seen in his palm almost the age at which he was showing his palm. I told him that he might have already met or would meet an accident or will have ill health very soon which may threaten his life, but he will survive. I told him that he was about to die at that age, but would be saved. He was surprised with this prediction. He told me of the instance that took place in his life few weeks before.

He told me that he was having a boy of about 15 years as servant in his house. He was not happy with the boy as he was not working properly. One late evening he told him to leave the work. As the boy was young he advised him to leave the house next morning as it was very late hour for the boy to go out of the house. His family consisted of his wife and two sons. The sons used to sleep in the adjacent room. He normally would not bolt his room from inside as the two sons aged 5 and 9 would come in their room during the night. That night however he did latched his room from inside.

Somewhere during the night he heard the scream of his younger son. Both husband and wife went to children's room. They saw that the servant was sitting on top of the elder son and was slitting open the son's neck with a knife. The younger son was struggling with the servant and was yelling for help. This person overpowered the servant. The servant was handed over to the police immediately.

Next morning the servant confessed to the police that he wanted to kill the master as he had removed him from the job, but since their room was locked, he decided to kill his elder son,
who was sleeping.

The line of life showed that the person escaped the death though his body was not even touched by the servant.

I will narrate more instances in the next blog.


Bye, bye.

02/10 - Palmistry - Occult Science

I got some comments and reactions to my blog posted on April 22. It was encouraging.

Astrology and Palmistry are complimentary to each other and objective of both these branches of Occult science is the same. The palmistry is physical and Astrology is mathematical part of the occult science. The predictions from such horoscope and palm reading will have huge similarities.

The advantage of Palmistry is that everybody carries palm with him. Incase of astrology the horoscope is required. For Astrology, the horoscope is required to be correct and many times the date and time of birth is not correctly known to individuals and the horoscope, therefore, can not be made correctly. People at times make wrong horoscopes to suit their requirements, e.g. for matching horoscopes for marriage. This results in all predictions going wrong. Further, there are many stars affecting the predictions which can go wrong if the effect of all the stars are not taken into account when making calculations.


Incase of Palmistry, the predictions are not dependant on the data to be made by others. It is available on the palm of each individual. The predictions made by palmist depends on his knowledge, calculations and expertise.


The disadvantage of the Palmistry is that the individual whose palm is to be read has to be present. Incase of Astrology, from the horoscope the predictions can be made without the presence of the person concerned.

There are many ways in which people do predictions. There are people who do face reading, people make predictions from Numerology, Tarot cards, 'Prashnam', 'Chhaya', 'sixth sense' etc. etc.


These are all 'Occult sciences'. Occult science means study of deeper spiritual reality that extends beyong pure reason and physical sciences. The word Occult has many uses in normal English language. It means knowledge of paranormal as opposed to knowledge of measurable.

In Palmistry we study the lines in the palm. In addition, we see the mounts, fingers, thumbs, nails, skin of the palm to study and make predictions.

Most important lines in the hand are:

Life line, Fate line, Heart line, Head line, Marriage line, Travel line etc.

We will try to understand the importance of these lines and also minor lines in the hand and mounts etc. in the hand in subsequent blogs.

01/10 - Introduction

Yes, it is a new world. World of Weblog. I am entering after being encouraged by others that it is a very good tool to interact with others.



I am planning to discuss the palmistry through these blogs. My interest in palmistry started when I was in school and during the vacations I used to read the books on Palmistry by Cheiro and other authors. This continued through the years and now for last >45 years I am interested in Palmistry and have been reading the palms.



This is a very good science. It may look awkward at first to hear that this is science, but it is science and logic. To read a palm is an art also.



There is an instance mentioned in a famous book where an experience of the author is mentioned to show that palmistry is science. The instance is as follows:



A person came to the author to show his palm. He extended his left palm in front of the author (palmist) who requested him to show the right palm. The person refused to show the right palm and insisted that palmist should see his left palm only. The palmist told him that he can see from the left palm that the person was involved in some war and again requested him to show the right palm so that he could predict in detail.



The person then extended his right palm with lot of difficulty and kept it on the table in front of the palmist. There were no lines in the right palm. There were lines in the left palm. Then the person told the palmist that he was involved in the war as soldier and he was hit by a bullet in his right shoulder and his nerve connections with the hand had broken. Though his hand was there it was artificially connected to the body. Since there were no nerve connections with the hand, there were no lines in the palm.



This shows that the palmistry is a science and the lines are connected to the brain and the lines do change as per the thinking of the person. The lines in the palm change continuously, though very slowly.



To read a palm is also an art. Over the years, with experience, a palmist masters this art. The lines are in such small area and the deviations, breaks etc. are miniature in size. It requires experience to calculate the age at that juncture in the small area, which is an art, in addition to the knowledge of the rules of palmistry.



I would be discussing the different aspects in palmistry in blogs to follow and would expect good interaction from the readers to make it more interesting.
