Meaning and Context
The Fate Line is a secondary line in palm reading that runs vertically from the wrist area toward the middle finger. Not everyone has a visible Fate Line, and its absence does not indicate lack of career success.
- Also called: Destiny Line, Career Line, Jade Pillar Line (玉柱纹)
- Location: Vertical line from wrist toward middle finger
- Represents: Career, life direction, destiny, external influences
- Note: Not present in all palms
Classical Roots
From Shenxiang Quanbian
「玉柱纹直贯中指，事业有成。」
Plain translation
"A Jade Pillar Line extending straight to the middle finger indicates career success." This connects a strong Fate Line to professional achievement.

FAQ
What if I don't have a Fate Line?
+
Many successful people do not have a visible Fate Line. Its absence may indicate that your career path is more self-directed rather than influenced by external factors or fate. People without Fate Lines often create their own opportunities through personal initiative.
