The lines for children are the clear, straight lines just above the Marriage Line. To see them well, press this side of your palm with your fingertips. Then look for the small lines that stand out clearly. Sometimes these lines are marked deep in the hand. These lines are seen mainly in the hands of women. Sometimes you need a magnifying glass to see them. If the lines are deep and wide, you will have boys. If they are narrow and fine, this points to girls. If the lines are straight, this shows healthy, strong children. If a line is crooked or faint, your child may be weak. If the 1st small line (counting up from the Marriage Line) has a tiny island on it, the child may be weak in the early years. If the line is clearly marked where it crosses the island, the child is likely to grow up healthy and strong. If the line is broken or ends at the island, the child may not survive. If one line stands out clearly among the others, that child may look like their parents. This child may also do better in life than the other children. To find out how many children you may have, count the lines from the outer edge of your hand toward the palm. If your Mount of Venus is very flat and poorly formed, you may not be able to have children at all. This is even clearer when the 1st Bracelet curves upward like an arc toward the palm.
