Short Life Line in Meaning Palmistry
Do you have a short life line on your palm? The short life line in palmistry is quite interesting indeed and is the most talked-about line on the hand. Today, I want to continue to discuss the length of this line and other exciting features it can have.
It is an interesting line because it is the first line a person typically looks at on the palm. This line is also frequently the most prominent on the palm, as it arcs around the mount of Venus (the thumb ball), reaching near the wrist. (Unless it’s short!)
Examining this line is essential for confirming and timing events. Timing is done through markings along the line. The line can grow, change, shift, or even fade as circumstances change over time. When the line is short, however, it seems impossible to confirm anything from it. In such cases, the fate line takes over the timing of the short life line.
The Importance of Where the Short Life Line Begins
The start of the life line does not always commence at the same position, occasionally starting close to the thumb and other times as high as the Mount of Jupiter. If it sits high, it shows an ambitious and confident nature. Occasionally, it can begin joined to the head line and appear like a branch from it, suggesting a much more insecure yet family-oriented spirit. These types show a good deal less confidence compared to those with a separate line from the head line. The closer it is to the thumb, the less energy and enthusiasm there is for life.
The life line represents life consistency
I would like to mention that a short line does not mean a short life. The length and prominence of the line refer to the quality of life, the constitution, family roots, security and the get-up-and-go of the individual. A long steady line shows vitality, routine, stability, motivation and someone who perhaps does not need to depend on anyone or anything. Their nature, goals and motivations are consistent.
The short line is common among those who don’t specifically follow family traditions. It shows a freedom-loving individual who is not so strict on routine. It is as if the path of life is not set, either through circumstance or conscious decision. This attitude might have come from an unsettled family, or even a broken family (the parents). The person might also be more dependent on others.
Is the line weak?
A short life line can appear ‘weak,’ so for someone with this line, finding a place to settle down, sticking to a routine, and setting goals strengthen it. The type of work or hobbies you have can also affect the shape and length of the line. Often, a weak line belongs to the quieter folk who tend to prefer peaceful surroundings.
Does the line have breaks or changes?
The way a life line forms depends on the other lines on the hand as well as the thickness of the mounts. For instance, if you have a deep Simian line with well-developed mounts, the chances are that the life line is short. If you are young and haven’t set life goals, then your lines are still changing or growing. It can also point to a certain time when a major change occurs in a person’s life. Examine the line’s length and apply the time scale to suggest the age at which the shift occurs.
If you look carefully at the line, you might see fine branching lines around it that connect to the fate line. In most cases of a short life line, the fate line is what takes over the reading. Therefore, life shares the path of fate. The effects of this are most certainly that a change is about to happen. Usually, it is someone who becomes more career-oriented at that point in their life.
THE ARCH OF THE LIFE LINE
Some life lines curve around enough to reach out towards the mount of Moon (lower ulnar side of palm) so far as to touch the fate line. I have learned that when this occurs, it has significant meaning around that period, indicating a need for change or an event that brings about change. Often, career or motivations become a current focus.
A line that arches widely towards the mount of Moon depicts an outgoing person with many interests, a love of travel, and a love of change.
A broad line curving well around the Venus mount shows warmth and affection but is a little more reserved.
A line close to the thumb indicates a lack of energy and love; a person who is entirely selfish or emotionally cold, especially if the Venus mount is flat.
What if there’s no life line?
You might not believe it, but I have seen people with no life line at all. Do they still have a healthy and long life? The answer is yes. What about people who have no hands? Can they have a typical lifespan? Again, the answer is yes.
Til next time, love and light 🙂
