While your palms may be covered in lines, there are five key lines that you should pay attention to:
- Your head line
- Your heart line
- Your life line
- Your sun line

So if you're able to address any issues which you have in regards to unhealthy beliefs about money or low self-esteem, it's possible that your fate line will become stronger over time.
If you are lucky enough to have two fate lines, you're likely to be highly creative and skilled and may be able to earn double the income of the average person.
