The Life Line (continued) A chained line indicates various health problems, both physical and emotional. Many people with allergies have such a line as well. A donut indicates hospitalization as a result of some sort of accident. A break represents a sudden change in life style, an accident or an illness. Lines crossing through the Life Line indicate either worries or danger, however a star indicates some sort of crisis. A square on the line indicates protection at a time it is needed. It may also mark a turning point in your life. Lines extending up and above the Life Line show the ability to recover from situations. Lines extending below the Life Line show a habit of wasting energy.
