Success Line and Timing Your Potential Fame

What is the Success Line

The success line, in palmistry, is also known as the line of Apollo, line of sun or creativity is a vertical line which usually rises from the upper areas of the Mount of Moon. It is not a complete line on all hands and is more typically found only in segments. When someone has the success line on the palm, it signifies the sense of achievement and satisfaction that a person feels in their life. It is not a guaranteed mark of success in general.

The reason why it was originally named the line of Apollo, is that in legend, Apollo was the name granted to the sun god who ruled over creativity, music, and the arts; that is why the line is more prominent on those who are using their creative talent positively. (So, don’t be disheartened if you do not have this line).

Keep in mind that the lines on your palm can change over time; therefore, what is evident in your hands now, does not imply a fixed quality or event. When using the lines for prediction, gather information from the past trials that have led the person to be where they are now. Any lines or markings that represent the future are just assumptions. They show what is potential for the subject based on past actions, whether negative or positive.

The Length of the Success Line

The longer this line, the more it shows talent to express creativity, personal fulfilment or merely the capacity to enjoy life. It is not a guarantee of fame and fortune, but it does bring a certain amount of luck into the individual’s life. It shows that there is potential for accomplishing a great deal. In some cases, this line rises from inside the life line; it is then referred to as an inheritance line, suggesting money or property acquired from the family’s estate.

Success line, fate line, destiny
  1. A line that begins from the line of life shows family influence or help in achieving success. Rising from the head line depicts achievement around the age of 35.
  2. Crossbars along the success line below the heart line show obstacles around the age of 35-40. However, if the line continues, then the obstacle is temporary, most likely financial.
  3. A success line that begins at the heart line points to a gain, victory, happiness or even fame around age 50.
  4. When the line changes its angle or direction, it shows a change in the career or life goals. In this case, around age 55.
  5. A line that reaches the ring finger shows a continuation of the achievement into old age.
  6. The fate line shows a change in career or goals around the age of 50.
  7. The fate line forks, depicting the potential for two income sources by around the age of 60.

More than one line?

Having more than one line is not uncommon, especially when an individual has many interests, each line can represent a different area of activity. A secondary line rising from the success line would indicate that achievement branched from one endeavour to another, as an example, a successful artist who writes a book about his art and the writing also becomes a success.

multiple success lines
  1. The success line begins around the age of 35 as a single line.
  2. A second line forms parallel to the original line, which can depict a supporting business partner.
  3. A third line towards the end of the line might suggest another enterprise or project in the later years.

Sometimes parallel lines along the line can refer to another person, particularly family relationships, such as a partner, one or both parents, son or daughter. I have found this to be true when the two parallel lines are very high on the mount reaching the finger of Apollo (ring finger) or between the finger of Saturn (middle finger) and Apollo. In such a case, it refers to living with a family member at old age. If joined lines, they represent a married couple. Markings on the line relate to obstacles or difficulties in achieving success.

Marks on the success line.

A clear star can be a mark of fame (good or bad fame). It can denote social attainment and wealth. But, the person may have to work hard and take risks to get there. Staying grounded is advised or else, general happiness might be affected. A square mark is a protective sign, usually from reputation or social influence. A cross, however, might be a risk of losing reputation. Be careful with judging crossing lines as many times it is simply parts of the girdle of Venus.

Travel Lines Abroad on Your Palm

Travel lines (Trips, journeys and abroad)

If you are interested in the lines on the palm, you might be curious to know whether it’s possible to see signs of travel? If you think about it, travel is the change or movement from one place to another. The signs of travel can also be signs of restlessness and wanting to get away. These indications can be psychological and instead represent wanting to remove oneself from a situation.

Travel lines can be in various areas of the hand. The obvious thing to look for is a change in the normal flow of the line. The main lines to see these changes are in the life and fate lines. If someone travels abroad as a permanent relocation, the change will be evident in both of these. If the line ‘shifts’ or changes course, it suggests a change of course in life. The line might also show as a broken line.

Travel lines can be branches, like offshoots from the life line and transverse lines on the ulnar edge. In other words, they are horizontal lines on the edge of the palm on the pinkie side. These do not always denote a permanent move aboard, especially if there are several lines present. Note that the uppermost lines are marriage lines and the start of the heart line.

Lines that can point to travel

Lines branching or emanating from the line of life towards the Mount of Moon are signs of trips, but not a guaranteed symbol of permanent relocation. They can also depict a restless person or would love to travel, even if they haven’t. Many offshoots from the life line often depict a person who travels often. A short life line is also a mark of someone restless. These people are not happy to stay in one place forever.

Permanent relocation signs

For a mark of a permanent move abroad, usually, there will be a broken life line, and a connecting line to the fate line or a new section of life line (if the change is lasting). The long-distance travel line is a longer line than the short distance.

permanent relocation

Look also at the shape of the hand, fingers, and mounts for a desire for travel. If a person is a committed traveller through work or pleasure, they will typically have an air or fire type hand due to the adventurous and social nature. The line of life on a venturesome character arch towards the Mount of Moon (mount opposite the thumb), instead of curving around the Venus mount (ball of thumb). (See example here).

The image below is that of a man who permanently relocated abroad at the age of thirty. His life line is very faint, so I have highlighted the break. Note that the life line connects to the fate line around his age fifty. During that time, he had other significant changes in his life.

travel abroad

If there are many fine travel lines from the life line, they will suggest regular journeys. Even a person who regularly goes offshore fishing (for example) might have these lines. Be careful though, if the end of the life line has many fine lines branching out, (like tassels) it might mean something else. (Healthwise) it might be a sign of too much acidity in the body, stomach issues, diabetes or arthritis etc. If you are concerned about your health, please seek medical advice.

tasseled lines at the end of the life line
These tassels at the bottom of a life line are not usually representing travel lines; instead, they relate to health.

The fingers can also show if a person is likely to travel

The finger shapes also come into consideration especially if one has spatulate fingertips, signifying the love of the new and unusual. With square fingertips, the destinations may be somewhere that is more well-known to them. A long pinkie (Mercury finger) would give excellent communication skills so learning another language would not be a problem. The long pinkie is also a sign of someone who doesn’t mind being away from home.

I made a quick video about the travel lines, learn about the ‘areas or countries’ of travel from each line. Also about the timing of the travel, like what age the trip is likely to be. check it out here.

Influence Lines and Support Lines in Palmistry

Influence lines and Support lines

If you are interested in palmistry (hand analysis), you might wonder what some finer, smaller lines on the palm are. Some people only have a few major lines, like the life, head and heart lines. In this article, you will learn about the finer influence lines. Influence lines are fine secondary lines on the palm. The meaning can vary depending on where it is.

The Main (major) Lines

Influence line along the life line

Like a sister line, the most common influence line is alongside the life line. If the line begins at the mount of Mars, it is a Mars line. The influence line along the life line can occur at any point. For instance, if it represents a union/partnership/marriage, we can use the timeline from the life line to guess the timing.

Where else can you find influence lines?

The influence lines can arise from anywhere on the palm. They can also represent a supportive partner if along the life line or if it rises to the fate line. It is more appropriate to be called an inspiration line when it originates from the head or heart lines to touch either the fate or success lines. It is an inspiration line because the person has had an idea, thought, or feeling that inspired action.

Rising from the heart line

These influence lines are most common, rising from the heart line to the success line, showing a heartfelt decision regarding a career, hobby, or business enterprise. They are also referred to as ‘inspiration lines’. However, the name of any line doesn’t matter; the point is that energy is coming from somewhere else and giving it to another area somehow.

Lines on the Mount of Venus

The vertical lines on the Mount of Venus show mainly family influences, whether from the mother, father, or siblings. They can also represent anyone who has impacted or made a strong impression. William Benham describes someone with many influence lines on the Mount of Venus as having a healthy sexual appetite. From my study, many see themselves as spiritually aware.

Influence lines on the fate line

Influence lines on the fate line are somewhat different. They can be rising lines that touch the fate line or parallel lines alongside it. But an influence or support line is only an influence or support line if it is close to the fate line. A line that is parallel but not close to the fate line is a secondary fate line. Many people have more than one fate line.

influence lines, support line palms, marriage line, fate line branches

The influence lines on the fate line can depict a variety of things, such as:

  1. A marriage or union
  2. A business partner
  3. The supportive friend or partner
  4. An epiphany or emotional decision
  5. A period of study to support career

An idea might be what caused the influence, usually regarding career or other important life decisions. If so, the line will rise to the fate line somewhere around the head line or directly from the head line. Remember, these lines are much finer than the main lines.

Some are not influence lines but instead Travel lines.

If a branch line emanates from the line of life towards the Mount of Moon, it signifies trips or travel. However, they are not necessarily a symbol of permanent relocation. Usually, there will be a connecting line to the fate line or a new section of life line if the change is lasting. The long-distance travel line is longer than the short distance.

Girdle of Venus the Real Palmistry Meaning

girdle of venus, destiny palmistry, image by sari puhakka

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).
