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.
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.
The influence lines on the fate line can depict a variety of things, such as:
- A marriage or union
- A business partner
- The supportive friend or partner
- An epiphany or emotional decision
- 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.
