What does an overlapping life line mean?

What this means

First confirm that one life-line segment shifts and another continues nearby, rather than a long double life line or photo shadow.

Palmistry often reads breaks as life-rhythm changes; overlap can suggest the new phase begins before the old one fully ends, which softens a clean-break reading.

Compare the later segment's depth, support lines, nearby crosses or islands, the head line and both hands before making any strong claim.
