The Girdle of Venus is that broken or unbroken kind of semicircle rising between the first and second fingers and finishing between the third and fourth.

It relates to emotional intelligence and the ability to manipulate. It denotes highly-strung, nervous temperament, and when unbroken it certainly gives a most unhappy tendency towards hysteria and despondent.

Some of variations of lifeline and its representations are discussed below.

• People possessing the Girdle of Venus are capable of rising to the highest pitch of enthusiasm over anything that engages their fancy, but keep on fluctuating between high and low spirits.

• When the girdle goes over the side of the hand and comes in contact with the line of marriage, the happiness of the marriage will be marked through the peculiarities of the temperament. Such subjects are peculiarly exciting, and hard to live with. If on a man's hand, that man would want as many virtues in a wife as there are stars in the universe.
