Palmistry - Palm Reading - The Girdle of Venus and What it Means

The Girdle of Venus is generally found as a kind of semi-circle rising between the first and second fingers, and ending between the third and fourth. (Plate 18.)

I have not found this sign to indicate the debauchery that has so often been ascribed to it, and simply, I believe on account of its name. On the contrary, I consider it to be associated with highly intellectual natures, but changeable in moods and extra sensitive. It also shows a highly-strung nervous temperament, to which this formation gives an unhappy tendency to hysteria and despondency.

People possessed with this mark, arc capable of rising to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, but are rarely twice in the same mood, one moment full of high spirits, and the next miserable and despondent.

When the Girdle goes over the side of the hand, particularly, if it comes in contact with the Marriage Line under the fourth finger, it is rather against the happiness of the marriage, as the possessor would want as many virtues in a wife as there are stars in the universe.
