Marriage Line in Palmistry

The Marriage Line appears on the side of the Mount below the 4^th finger (1) of the palm. It can appear as a very small mark near the outer edge of the hand. It can also appear as a long line rising from the side of the palm onto the face of the Mount of Mercury, sometimes reaching further into the palm. If the Marriage Line is clear and well formed, it is linked to marriage. If it is short, this shows deep affection for someone you love and that you may be considering marriage, though it should not go beyond that stage (2). If a deep mark sits close to the Heart Line, marriage may happen early in life. For a happy, successful marriage, the Marriage Line on the Mount of Mercury should be clear and straight, without any split or irregularity (1).

If the Marriage Line bends or dips downward (3), you may outlive your partner. If the Marriage Line turns upward instead, you may be unlikely to marry at all (4). If the Marriage Line is clear but has many small lines dropping from it, this predicts difficulty and worry in the marriage, caused by your partner’s weak health or illness (5). If the Marriage Line curves at its end and another line is seen crossing that curve (2), your spouse may die suddenly from illness or accident. If the Marriage Line ends in a gradual bend that stretches down into the Heart Line, your spouse may die after a long illness. If the Marriage Line has an island at its start, the wedding may be delayed for a long time.

You and your partner may even separate early in the marriage. If an island appears in the middle of the Marriage Line, this shows serious trouble and possible divorce in the middle of your life (3). If an island appears at the end of the Marriage Line, the marriage most likely ends in difficulty and separation. If the Marriage Line splits into two (4), you and your partner may end up living apart. If the split runs down to the Heart Line, divorce is possible (5). If the split is more pronounced and curves down into the palm, divorce becomes more likely, especially if one branch of the split reaches the Plain of Mars or the Mount of Mars (5).  In some cases, a fine mark crosses the whole hand from the Marriage Line. In these cases, deep resentment and hostility can lead to a battle for divorce and freedom.

There is no chance of reconciling in the relationship. If the Marriage Line is full of small islands, or looks like a chain, you are advised not to marry, as the marriage is unlikely to succeed. Your relationship with your spouse may be full of unhappiness, and you may end up divorcing them. If the Marriage Line is clearly marked and splits into two around the middle, this predicts a break-up or tragedy in an otherwise happy marriage. If the Marriage Line, or a line branching from it, reaches into the palm and merges or rises to meet the Sun Line, this shows you may marry a wealthy, successful partner (6). If the line curves downward and cuts across the Sun Line, this shows you may lose your standing after marriage. If a mark falls from the top of the Mount of Mercury down onto the Marriage Line, this shows you may face serious difficulties to overcome after marriage. If the Marriage Line is otherwise strong, you can get past these difficulties. If there is an extra, fainter line near the upper part of the Marriage Line, this shows some outside influence will enter your life after marriage. Lines that cross the palm from the Mount of Mars (6) and rise to meet the Marriage Line show interference from other people in your marriage. These lines show when that interference happens, based on where they cross the Fate Line. If these lines come from Mars, they may cause quarrels. If they come from Venus, quarrels are also possible, but without spite (7).

Lines of Influence on the Fate Line At the Mount of Venus, and Other Signs Related to Marriage

If you have fine influence marks that join the Fate Line (7), this shows they affect your fate. When the Line of Influence is strong and joins the Fate Line, and a clear Marriage Line also appears on the Mount of Mercury, the date of marriage can be predicted accurately from where these lines meet. More detail can be read from how the Line of Influence meets the Fate Line. When this line comes from the Mount of Moon, the relationship often has a romantic start. If you see this line on your palm, you may meet your partner away from home, or while travelling. If the Line of Influence has an island, this shows the influence may not be good, and there is a chance of some scandal in your past (8). If the Fate Line looks weaker or more uncertain after marriage, this shows the marriage may not bring success or good results. If the Fate Line looks stronger and better after the Line of Influence joins it, the marriage is likely to succeed.

If the Sun Line appears at that same moment, this shows your power or wealth may grow. If the Line of Influence is cut by the Fate Line, and this happens on the thumb side of the palm, your affection may not last long (7). If a wide gap opens between the Fate Line and the Line of Influence as the two lines rise up the palm together, this clearly shows that separation may come soon. If a Line of Influence runs close to the Fate Line, staying parallel for some distance without merging with it, this shows your marriage may be blocked by serious obstacles. If the Line of Influence ends in an island, the influence itself runs into trouble, usually some kind of personal scandal (10).
