How dependable / reliable are relationship / marriage lines?

then what should be the medium to predict one's marriage or number of relationships a person had or going to have. Even i have noticed single relationship lines on the hands of person who are having more than one relationship.

So can you please tell me what should be the right method to predict marriage time of number of relationships?

Hello Lynn,

Thank you so much for your comment, i was starting to feel very disheartened with that awful reading about my relationship lines. Thank you for pointing out this section, i realise that these lines are not accurate at all. I've also looked at friends hands who have had more than one line but only had one relationship. Also there are no way near enough lines on my hand to represent the love ive had for certain people over the years. If any of this was true, i would have a line for each person, but i dont. I am hoping to keep a positive mind frame and not dwell on the reading i had. These readings should inspire people and give them hope or advise them to improve their way of thinking in order to improve their lives. That should be the purpose of palmists.

Marriage Lines create more interest than all the other lines in the hand, but, I believe that these lines offer probably the greatest difficulties of all the Palmists-even to the most experienced one. This is true that number of lines does not show number of marriages. Only a long and deep line of Union in a ‘good hand’ can be interpreted as marriage, but, ‘this must be as far as possible be confirmed of an event discovered elsewhere in the hand’.

Most probably any line commencing from Mount of Moon and joining the Fate line is sure sign of marriage or Union. This usually found on the hands of women. In the men’s hands these lines indicate sole indications of ‘emotional attachment’ with the person of opposite sex really left their marks in the subject’s brain and consequently in his palm. Same is the story of minor lines at the percussion.

I insist upon the principle that Union in the hand is not to be understood as meaning only legal Union. “Marriage is an act of legally uniting a man and woman in wedlock through a marriage ceremony”- this is according to the Webster dictionary. Marriage is an institution established by the church and state and does not always represent emotion. Union has broader meaning in Palmistry and therefore every line there cannot denote a legal Marriage.

I have studied and read the hands of many persons who were married, but, had no or very faint Marriage Lines on their hands. This shows that the marriage has not influenced them or had very little effects on them and that the marriages were of convenient and comforts. I have never seen this occurrence on a woman’s hand, but, have seen in a number of times on the men’s hands. Marriage does not affect every person in the same way.

If you see one deep clear and unbroken long horizontal line with a good Heart Line supported by good Head Line, then you will know these truths to be self-evident of Marriage. These lines are sometimes seen in the hands of the persons who have not really entered into the wedlock, but, this happen when the subject has loved truly as fondly as if he had been joined in wedlock. In such subject a line of union will appear the same as though the ceremony had been performed. In fact these deep lines are the lines of deep affection on the hands rather than lines of marriages. It will be more appropriate if these lines are viewed from this standpoint.

Looking for the Heart Line is essential while studying the Marriage Line. If Heart Line is deep clear and un broken than expect even a thin mild line of Marriage will have greater effects on the subject and the relationship or institution of Marriage will work smoothly through the life span, because the Heart Line gives sufficient energy warmth and consistency to preserve it. A clear independent cross on the Mount of Jupiter will confirm this.

There are many types of Heart Lines. How we can decide the horizontal lines at the percussion of the palms as marriage lines without considering the ‘Heart’ line? After all any ‘typed’ of ‘Heart’ (emotional thinking) is needed to love someone.

If you find no lines of affection at the place, it shows your subject is not powerfully impressed by anyone member of the opposite sex so far. Lines here relate to the members of the opposite sex only.

The type of the subject must be considered always while reading the Marriage Line. Venusians are much inclined to get marry early and a little line at that place will denote marriage. Saturanians are less inclined to get married on an early age or getting married at all. These persons dislike marriage and do not want to tie himself permanently to anyone. Apollonian desire to get marry early, but, much of the failures is found in this category, because they want brilliant partners like themselves and do not always get them. Mercurians and Martians are also inclined to get marry early. Lunarians are peculiar about marriage sometime they contempt and sometimes admire the institution of marriage.

Hand must be analyzed in totality when we consider any aspect of a person whatsoever it might be. ‘No line on the palm is absolute in itself’. In fact, Heart Line and other factors such as Head Line, Fate Line, Simian Line, fingers, nails etc. will decide as how the person is taking his/her emotional attachments. Reading marriage/affection/union lines is not an easy job but very complicated affair indeed. Here completeness, efficiency, past experience and personal talent counts. A person who has this can easily predict what is what. If someone has derived a definite formula in this regard, I would love to know.

I think this discussion shows how dangerous it is to make predictions re emotional events. (which marriage is). I think the best use of palmistry is to point out patterns of behaviour to help a person make better choices.

Predictions re health issues can be helpful but in general I don't find a focus on second guessing the future very useful. It just parlour tricks.

I am also an astrologer and the same holds true in Astrology. You can point out trends and cycles and help someone prepare for change etc but I never say something specific will occur because that denies free will. . My main goal is to empower a person to know themselves better and to see what patterns they may be repeating in their life. I think predicting outcomes is a dangerous and disabling practice.

What I was taught re marriage lines is that they show patterns of relating and not marriage specifically...and only a very distinct and unusual line should be given attention.
