Palmistry

According to the ancient science of India, the Samudrika Shastra, this line is called the Gotra rekha,or the Pitri Rekha and represents the family. Western palmists, however, call it the line which indicates the physical capacity of a person. They judge a person's age, possibility of diseases etc. from this line, but the experience of the author is that it also indicates, health, wealth, change of residence, partnerships and the family too.

If the Line of Life is semi-circular, thin and deep, it is an auspicious sign. A thick, shallow and straight line of life is not auspicious. A straight line of life is given in above image. This line starts from a place between the Aggressive Mars and the Mount of Jupiter and ends near centre of wrist line - the Bracelet.

Sometimes it is found originating from the Mount of Jupiter or the Aggressive Mars or the centre of the palm. It also ends on the Mount of Venus or the Mount of the Moon. It takes on the characteristics of the mounts from which it starts or those at which it ends.
