THE LINES OF MARRIAGE AND HOW THEY AFFECT YOUR LOVE LIFE

Palmistry, also known as the art of fortune telling, is predominantly governed by the thought of predestination. Through intense research, meditation, and intuition, the ancient seers had succeeded in decoding the symbols present on the hands so as to understand the sequence of events relating to human life. Knowing the future can therefore help us to avoid and solve future problems before they occur. Many people who are not happy with what the fortune tellers say about their future have resorted to palm surgery (changing their palm lines) in order to change their life and destiny and this kind of business is becoming more and more popular in Japan and South Korea. However, whenever it comes to palmistry, many Christians believe that it is wrong but has it ever occurred to them that even Jesus's life is predestined?

He was delivered up by the set purpose and plan of God; you even made use of pagans to crucify and kill him (Acts 2:23).

Indeed, they gathered in this very city against your holy Servant, Jesus, whom you anointed - Herod and Pontius Pilate in league with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel. They have brought about the very things which in your powerful providence you planned long ago (Acts 4:27-28).

In my article entitled HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR SPOUSE IS CHEATING ON YOU?   I discussed about the Lines of Marriage and how these could help us to avoid a painful relationship. This is particularly true for those with bad marriage lines as they have to work harder to preserve their marriage. Do not take things for granted - being sexy and beautiful does not mean that your marriage would last forever. On the other hand, being fat, short, and ugly does not mean that you would not marry a good husband. Much would depend on your fate and destiny.

I could still remember that when I was 14, I had an Indian friend who was fat, short, dark skinned and not very good looking. She had an elder sister (10 years her senior) who was just the opposite of her - fair, pretty, slim, and tall. My Indian friend told me that she was in love with her brother-in-law and used to write his full name on her palm and showed me. She also liked to show me her handsome brother-in-law's passport sized photo which she kept in her wallet. Without realizing how her younger sister felt towards her handsome husband, this beautiful woman asked her husband to take her sister home on his bike after school every day. My friend always said to me that she would hold her brother-in-law tight on the bike. However, this beautiful woman probably did not believe that her sister's presence could be a threat to her marriage life. Everything was too late when ten years later, her husband divorced her to marry her younger sister. Sounds too bad to be true, right? A handsome man abandoned his beautiful wife (and their children) for a fat and not so good-looking woman. But of course this could be prevented! It is therefore very important to know what the marriage line stands for.

In this article, I would provide further details about Lines of Marriage and add a wealth of information pertaining to them. Having knowledge of what lies ahead may help to save a marriage and prevent divorce.

The line or Lines of Marriage can be found on the side of the Mount of Mercury (the mount under the fourth finger - please refer to 1, Figure 3). They may be found as very short lines on the side of the hand or they may appear as long lines rising from the side of the hand into the Mount of Mercury and in some cases going further into the hand itself. It should be noted that only the clearly formed lines relate to marriage -the short lines refer to deep affection or marriage contemplated but has never taken place (2, Figure 3).

Figure 3: The Lines of Marriage

To have a happy marriage, the lines on the Mount of Mercury should be straight and clear, without breaks or irregularities of any kind (1, Figure 3). If the Line of Marriage is found lying close to the Line of Heart, the marriage will take place early in life, about fourteen to twenty-one; at the center of the mount, about twenty-one to twenty-eight; three-quarters up the mount, twenty-eight to thirty-five; and so on. If the Line of Marriage curves or droops downwards (3, Figure 3), the person on whose hand it appears will outlive his / her partner. On the other hand, if the line turns upwards in the reverse direction, the subject is unlikely to get married (4, Figure 3).

A clear and distinct line with lots of little lines dropping from it foreshadows trouble and anxiety in the marriage brought about by ill-health and delicacy of the partner (5, Figure 3). If the line has a curve at the end with a cross or line cutting into this curve (2, Figure 4), the partner will die by accident or sudden illness. However, if the marriage line ends in a long, gradual curve into the Line of Heart, the partner will die gradually by ill-health or illness of a very long duration.

Figure 4: The Marriage Lines Denoting Marriage

If there is an "island" at the beginning of the line, the marriage will be delayed for a long time and the two people involved will be much separated at the beginning of their marriage life. If the "island" is found in the middle of the marriage line, there will be trouble and separation in the middle of the marriage life (3, Figure 4). If the "island" is found towards the end of the line, the marriage will most probably end in trouble and separation.

Figure 5: The Islands

If the marriage line forks at the end (4, Figure 4), the couple will live apart from each other but if the fork turns downwards towards the Line of Heart, a divorce is likely to take place (5, Figure 4). A more accentuated fork that turns down more into the hand is an indication that divorce may be expected particularly if one end of the fork stretches across the hand in the direction of the Mount of Mars (5, Figure 4). A fine line from the marriage line, crossing the entire palm, indicates great animosity and bitterness as the couple fight for their freedom from the marriage. Under such circumstances, there is little hope for reconciliation.

If the Line of Marriage is full of little islands or linked like the loops of a chain, the subject should be warned not to marry at any time as such a union would be filled with unhappiness and continual separations. If the line breaks into two in the center, it foreshadows a fatality or sudden break-up in an otherwise blissful marriage.

If the marriage line or an offshoot of it ascends upwards and joins with the Line of Sun, the subject will marry someone with great wealth and distinction - generally a famous person (6, Figure 4). However, if this line curves downwards and cuts the line of sun, the person whose hand it is found would lose position if he proceeds with the marriage. A fine line running parallel to the marriage line and almost touching it denotes some kind of deep affection after marriage of the person on whose hand it appears.
