Broken Line: Meaning
A line that stops somewhere, or stops and starts again a little further on.
What it means, by place
On any lineA break in the the line: a phase of change for that line’s qualities — be patient; a fresh start is possible too.
Use good light, or a magnifier or your phone zoom, to spot marks. Every hand has many tiny criss-cross lines — count only a clear, distinct mark.
Keep in mind No single sign is decisive; look at both hands — and your own willpower can change a tendency. A palm reader should speak truth with kindness — so nothing about lifespan, illness or fear is shown here. Source: traditional palmistry

Frequently asked questions
What does the Broken Line look like?
A line that stops somewhere, or stops and starts again a little further on.
Does the Broken Line always mean the same thing?
No. Its meaning depends on which mount or line it sits on — the section "What it means, by place" above gives each separately.
Should I worry if I see a Broken Line?
No. One small mark decides nothing; faint marks can also be just light or skin creases. Read the whole hand together.
