Marriage on the Palm Meanings and Types of Lines

To find marriage on the palm, look on the very edge of the palm under the pinkie. The marriage lines have many other names. They are commonly referred to as relationship lines, affection lines, union lines, lines of commitment or lines of attachment. This article explains how to read the line using conventional methods.

Traditionally, these lines predicted the number of times a person would marry or have a serious relationship. However, modern-day palm readers know that the lines are unreliable for predicting the number of marriages or unions. The lines are not dependable because specific individuals’ hands will reveal every line of every fleeting affair. Some others might only show one line, yet they have married more than once. Very rarely is the line missing altogether.

What is the meaning of the marriage line?

The usual meaning of it is that a distinct horizontal line shows long-term affection (not necessarily marriage). The fine and shorter ones are insignificant or less notable unions. If you have one clear marriage line, it shows that when you are in a union, you stay loyal to the one person during the relationship. If the marriage line has marks and flaws, it is said to depict a problematic union.

The term ‘lines of affection’ are probably more appropriate nowadays, especially in Western culture, where marriage is not as valued. People tend to go for de-facto relationships rather than officially getting married.

What are the chances of getting married if you have a marriage line?

In the United States, today’s growing singles population is over 60% who have never been married. Those people are 99.9% likely to have at least one marriage line on their palms. The chances of marriage, even if you have a marriage line, the chances of marriage are only 40%.

Can you see arranged marriage on the palm?

You might be surprised that the percentage of marriages that are arranged worldwide is 53.2% The percentage of arranged marriages in India is 90%. It seems that the term marriage line in India is more relevant, and worldwide it still stands correct at least 50% of the time.

It’s not really possible to tell from the line if the marriage will be arranged. However, in general, if there is a short and thin line on the left hand, it can suggest an arranged marriage or one of convenience (such as for financial gain). It can also signify that the partner is dominant in the relationship. If there are many short lines, it shows brief affairs.

It is wise to use other indicators on the hand, such as influence lines to the fate line (see image below). Also, parallel lines on the life line can suggest support in life from a partner. See about influence lines here.

THIN SHORT RELATIONSHIP LINES

Light and short mainly depicts a casual or short-term relationship. However, this line can still denote a significant soul mate or even long-term marriage. I have seen short lines where there was a long-standing marriage on the palm, in most of them, the partner was more dominant.

The line length shows how long the affection lasts, not how long the relationship lasts. Therefore, a long and well-etched line shows deep and lasting affection. However, if the line is excessively long and it crosses over the mount of Mercury and Apollo, it’s no longer a sign of marriage. It tells more about the subject’s sensitive nature, much like having a second heart line or a long Girdle of Venus.

IF YOU HAVE ONE SINGLE MARRIAGE LINE

If a person only has one relationship line, it does not automatically mean they have one life partner, but ideally, that is how they would prefer it. The single line represents more of the person’s attitude, that being loyal and committed to one person at a time. If long and thick, it shows searching for the ‘right’ partner, a soul mate. The long thick line represents a soul connection with one life companion in various examples. If they happen to marry again, they will want to keep that same outlook with the new partner.

IF YOU HAVE TWO STRAIGHT RELATIONSHIP LINES

With two lines, it makes sense that a person will commit to a relationship more than once, most people have more than one soul mate. Look to the heart line for breaks or branches that droop towards the head line. The breaks on the heart line show restriction in the ability to feel; the emotional renewal is when the line continues.

If the two lines are parallel (like directly under it) the union might be purely for show, like business partners or a couple who stay together because of children. Often the marriage ends after the children have grown up. In some cases, it represents another relationship directly after the split.

MARKINGS ON THE MARRIAGE LINE

Not all relationship lines are free of flaws, but the clearer and straighter the line, the fewer problems there will be within the union. However, don’t be disheartened if you do see a flawed line here because almost all relationships have their ups and downs. Also, don’t forget these lines can and do change over time.

On some occasions where this line appears blurry or scarred, it can represent problems with fertility or surgery around the productive system. Look for verification from the rascettes on the wrist; these lines are likely to be also marked. Like other stress signs on the hands, resolved problems will have the lines return to normal.

FORKED AT START OR END OF THE LINE

A forked formation at the start of the marriage line shows a problematic beginning to the union. However, it can also be a sign of soul mates coming together. As an example of a difficult start to a union, a person might be unable to marry someone because they live in different countries, or have different religions.

At the end of the line, it shows the potential of the relationship ending awkwardly. The fork can also suggest the relationship is not steady. The lower branch depicts unsatisfying times and the top branch shows good times. Therefore, if predicting the state of the union, it can go either way, up or down.

TIMING MARRIAGE ON THE PALM

When will I get married? Probably the second most popular question I have been asked and perhaps one of the hardest to answer. Whether only one line is present or more, the timing needs to be verified from the influence lines, if there are any present. Unfortunately, though, not all hands will have these lines for confirmation, especially if the skin is coarse and sparsely lined. Finding validation from parallel lines along the life line is another option, using the timing to estimate the age.

As a general guide, if the line falls below the middle section of the mount, the union is expected to be at a younger age. The higher the line on the mount, the later the marriage is likely to occur.

Girdle of Venus the Real Palmistry Meaning

Girdle of Venus and Various Meanings in Palmistry

In its perfect form, the Girdle of Venus is mainly a curved line under the ring and middle fingers. Sometimes a horizontal line (or group of lines) lies above the heart line. In the latter, it looks like a floating heart line. This girdle of Venus can be broken up, or it can be a complete line.

The meaning of the line (or lines) varies depending on its length, quality, and the type of hand it has. In most cases, it is only present in sections. If only a couple of section lines are present, it shows better control over emotional reactions.

More than one Girdle of Venus line

Often there are multiple lines or fragments of the line. The girdle is like an additional heart line that adds extra sensitivity and intensity to the emotional side of the personality. These people, extra above the heart line, tend to be flirtatious and passionate. It shows a need for emotional security. In some cases where the heart line is absent, such as the Simian line, it takes the heart line’s place and helps in the emotional aspect.

Advantages of a Girdle of Venus

From a positive perspective, the girdle of Venus signifies a compassionate and open-hearted character. It is good if on someone in the caring profession because they understand the pain of others. If on a writer’s or artist’s hand, the subject could depict emotion well in their work due to the vivid imagination.

Disadvantages of having the Girdle of Venus

The girdle of Venus can denote an intense state of nervousness and quick temper (if aspects on the hand show these qualities elsewhere). The social and responsible aspects are blocked when the line is a full half-circle. These people need to try harder than others to be accepted.

A Fully Formed Girdle of Venus

Generally, the Girdle of Venus in its full form strengthens whatever characteristics are present in the temperament of the individual. It is a mark of heightened nerves, feelings, and emotions, whether they are positive or negative.

Spiritualism, Escapism and Drugs

Someone with these girdle lines might often need to escape the mundane life and do something that takes them away from it. To these people, visions and dreams are a part of their life. It might be something like meditation, art, or spiritualism, or sometimes it can be sexual. Taking drugs, alcohol, or medications is common in those with these lines. In the latter’s case, there may also be an escape line.

The long (extended) Girdle of Venus

An extended version of this line originates from under the little finger (Mercury) and stretches across to the area between the middle and index finger. It shows someone with a broader range of emotions. However, these emotions may be more challenging to control, especially if there is no creative expression outlet.

Multiple Girdle of Venus lines

If there are many fine lines on top of one another across almost the entire top section, it shows someone with a great degree of sympathy and emotional sensitivity. They might constantly need excitement and variety (perhaps through drugs). Or the subject might be in continual need of some emotional stimulation.

Girdle of Venus on a Water Hand

If with a full Girdle of Venus on a soft water type hand, its owner can be tough on the outside, but they may experience the opposite on the inside. Their feelings are easily hurt, and they are quite receptive to what is going on around them. They can quickly become addicted to stimulants, and sad movies make them cry due to their empathic nature.

Is the Girdle of Venus Good or Bad?

When unbroken and deeply etched, together with a weak life and head line, it may be a sign of selfishness or irrational or neurotic behaviour, especially if with a weak or broken head line. If the girdle is stronger than the heart line, the person might not be able to connect well in an emotional way. They can be moody and complex in a way that they fantasise a lot.

Is the Girdle a Line of prostitution?

In the old palmistry, the name Girdle of Venus was the line of prostitution, or the prostitution line, because some people with it tend to be quite sexually active. In a modern view, the word flirtatious would be appropriate, especially if the heart line has many branches.

The Mirage line is another term for these lines

Johnny Fincham uses the term ‘mirage line’ and describes this line on a coarse-skinned hand with large base phalanges as someone who escapes into sensual excess. He also mentions that men and women with the mirage line (Girdle of Venus) tend to seek out strong partners in life who are more level-headed than themselves. He mentions that in fragmented form, they produce an overly sensitive and introverted emotional type.

The Broken Girdle of Venus

If the lines are delicate and broken, it depicts a more highly-strung Girdle of Venus’s personality. They are like a linkup between the personality’s external and inner conscious sides. Fred Gettings suggests they connect the self-assertive elements with the emotions and are not a favourable marking. The multiple lines, if they follow the shape of the heart line, act as extra heart lines.

Floating Heart Line type of Girdle of Venus

If the line does not reach between the fingers, instead, it seems to ‘float’ above the area of the heart line; it’s a floating heart line. This floating heart line is common when there is no clear heart line or a Simian line present. The personality, in this case, would show much empathy or sensitivity emotionally. This line is often broken or in segments. It can begin between the ring and pinkie space or just below it. Sometimes it is much longer and appears to go across the whole top section of the hand.

A V-Shaped Girdle of Venus

Sometimes the girdle looks like a shape of a V rather than a curved half-circle. In this case, it may be a partial line with a coincidental mix of other lines, not a girdle. There may be rising branch lines from the fate line (Saturn) or the success line (Apollo).
