Common "Lines On The Palm" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Lines On The Palm

There are four major lines on the palm, namely the heart line, headline, lifeline, and the line of stability. A heart line is present on the top of the hand and indicates the emotional status. A headline is located below the heartline, and it is present at the center of the hand, which indicates a person's mentality. The lifeline is located under the heart line and goes around the thumb, which indicates vitality. The line of stability, also known as the fate line, starts from the bottom of the palm and runs through the middle finger, which indicates faith in life.
