The horizontal lines situated exactly below the little finger and above the heart lines are called marriage lines. These lines indicate intimacy in relationships, happiness in marital life and existence of love and affection between a husband and a wife. But to predict the happiness related to marriage, the mount of Venus and the line of heart should also be taken into consideration.
The various shapes and positions of the lines of marriage play an important part in foretelling the happiness related to marriage. Some general representations of the line of marriage on the basis of shape and position are provided below.
When the line of marriage is present near the line of heart, the marriage will happen early in about fourteen to twenty-one years; near the centre of the line in about twenty-one to twenty-eight years and three-quarters up to the line of heart in about twenty-eight to thirty-five years.
A well-developed and a dark line running and joining the line of fate indicates a wealthy union.
The line of marriage should be on the mount of Mercury and should be straight, without breaks, crosses or irregularities of any kind.
When the line inclines downwards towards the line of heart, the person with whom the subject is married is liable to die first.
When it curves upward, the person is not likely to marry in his lifetime.
When line of marriage is clear and distinct and hair-lines are dropping from it towards the line of heart, it tells about the bad-health of a person the subject will marry.
When the line has an island in the centre of any portion, it represents a great trouble or a separation in the married life of a person.
When this line bifurcates in the end and the fork drops towards the centre of the hand, it foretells of a judicial separation or divorce.
If the line is full of little islands and drooping lines, the subject should be warned not to marry because this is the sign of great unhappiness in married life.
When the line of Sun sends an offshoot to the line of Sun, it tells that the subject will marry someone of fame and distinction.
When it goes further and intersects the line of Sun, the person on whose hands it appears will lose position after marriage.
When a fine line runs parallel to this line and almost touches the line of marriage, it tells of some deep affection after marriage for the person on whose hand it appears.
If the line of marriage gets divided into two parts in the end then this situation will create problems in relationships. Because of this problem, there will always be differences between the husband and the wife. A feeling of being different from each other will also crop up in the relationship.
If one branch of the marriage line moves towards the Sun then such a person will marry a person who will be very well known. This placement shows that the life partner will be in a very good and respectful position. The person’s own destiny will also improve on account of the life partner’s destiny.
If the Marriage Line splits from the start itself then it likely that there will be either a separation or divorce. For some or the other reason, the native will not be blessed with marital happiness.
