Fate Line Meaning in Palm Reading

Readings by Ajarn Chayut, founder of horoall.com

The fate line (also called the line of destiny or career line) runs up the middle of the palm toward the middle finger. It is read for career, luck and the timing of success.

How to read ages on the fate line

Ajarn Chayut uses a simple method: place a ruler at the bottom edge of the palm (the wrist end) and measure upward along the line. Every 1 cm counts as about 10 years. The age at which a feature appears, such as the point where the fate line meets another line, is the age when its effect begins. Lines differ from person to person, so treat the result as a guide.

Fate line meanings

Fate line joining the life line

Success through hard work. Fortune comes from your own path, but you must act on it. The age where the two lines meet marks the start of your success, which then keeps growing. Whether that success is good depends on how you achieve it: good actions bring good success.

Fate line starting from the head line

Good luck and promotion from around the age of 35. The exact age varies with where the line starts; use the ruler method above to find the point where the fate line leaves the head line.

Fate line starting from the heart line

Life becomes stable later, after about the age of 56, though it still takes hard work. Measure to the point where the fate line leaves the heart line to find your age.

A patchy, uneven fate line

Changes of career or lifestyle, with success and setbacks taking turns. Ajarn Chayut's advice: when you are doing well, help others regularly and fairly, for example by supporting hard-working, honest people to advance. Supporting people with integrity improves your own fortune.

Fate line broken in the middle

When life reaches the break, the tradition warns that someone may try to cause you harm. Ajarn Chayut's advice: give to people in need, do good according to your faith, stay out of other people's affairs and avoid making enemies. He believes good deeds turn a heavy problem into a light one.

Fate line crossing the life line

At the age of the crossing, overwork may take a heavy toll on the body. Ajarn Chayut notes that hands change over time and that people who do good tend to have well-placed lines; he recommends regular, sincere good deeds over about a year, after which supporting lines may appear.
