Palmistry Guide

Health Line Mercury Line

The health line, also called the Mercury line or hepatica, runs from the base of the palm towards the little finger.

No health line

Surprisingly, palmists consider the absence of a health line a good sign, linked with good natural health.

A clear health line

A clear, unbroken line is linked with good business sense, communication skills and steady health.

A broken or wavy line

A broken, wavy or ladder-like line is traditionally linked with stress or periods when health needs attention.

Important note

Palmistry cannot diagnose illness. Use it only as a reminder to look after your wellbeing, and consult a doctor for health concerns. See our health line guide.
