A broken life line on one's palm indicates a sudden change in life, it can be positive or negative, depending on where the break is and what kind of break it is. Sometimes it also indicates an illness will happen.
If there is a short line parallel with the break in the life line, either above or below, usually the person will recover from a disaster.
If the two broken parts overlap, a person could recover from a serious illness. The overlapping length shows the recovery time.

A secondary line parallel with the life line, which is called sister lines, usually shows that a person is full of vitality and has strong resistance to disease. He/she can recover from illnesses or disasters easily.
In addition, a person with double life lines will always receive support from families and friends when encountering difficulties.
No Life Line in the Palm
