Assessing Marriage Quality through the Spousal Palace in Astrology

Human facial features vary widely, but there is one area that, for any gender, is closely tied to romantic and marital happiness. If this area looks bright, full, and smooth, it points to a happy marriage; if it appears dark or shows cross-shaped lines, it suggests incompatibility between partners. In face reading, this area is called the “Marriage Palace.”
The Marriage Palace, also known as the “Gate of Infidelity,” sits at the outer corners of the eyes. It is said to reveal the dynamics and fortunes of romantic relationships and marriages. When this area is smooth with few lines, it indicates a harmonious love life and a happy marriage; with a supportive spouse, both partners may enjoy wealth and status. Conversely, if the area is deeply sunken or marked by pronounced crow’s feet, the couple may be prone to conflict or separation. Below, Dr. Zheng explains how to read the Marriage Palace to evaluate marital quality.
1. Sunken, narrow, and delicate Marriage Palace
- Married life may face obstacles and be hard to harmonize.
- Marital issues may arise that could lead to divorce.
2. Marriage Palace with dark spots or scars
- Frequent arguments in the relationship.
- After marriage, both partners may be prone to infidelity.
3. Marriage Palace with darker skin or originally fair skin that has turned dark
- Unstable emotions can lead to an unhappy marriage.
- Multiple marriages may occur, or even lifelong singleness.
4. Marriage Palace with crow's feet
- Being overly busy may lead to neglect of relationships, ultimately resulting in separation.
- Lower sexual drive, leading to an unsatisfying intimate life.
5. Marriage Palace with smooth, oily, and thick, pale skin
- Tends to attract older partners, leading to “May–December romances” or “age-gap relationships.”
- A high sex drive may lead to numerous romantic entanglements, making one susceptible to becoming a third party.

6. Marriage Palace with cross lines
- Tends to dominate partners, sometimes ruthlessly.
- Relationships and marriages may be short-lived.
7. Marriage Palace with moles

Dr. Zheng's Special Reminder:
A person’s romantic prospects are closely tied to the condition of their Marriage Palace. Ideally, it should be plump and smooth; if it is sunken or marked by many lines or scars, romantic luck may decline and marital problems may follow. However, the color, thickness, and mole patterns of the Marriage Palace are not fixed and can change over time, influenced by a person’s overall fortune. It’s often observed that if someone initially has a thin Marriage Palace, it may become fuller and thicker after entering a relationship, getting married, or even having an affair, significantly boosting romantic appeal. This shows that facial features can change over time.
While the Marriage Palace may hint at your romantic luck, a person’s fate and fortune should be assessed as a whole, as individuals are complex beings. Regardless of gender, if your Marriage Palace is not ideal or has recently deteriorated, do not panic. Dr. Zheng advises you to examine your destiny or that of your closest partner to see if there are any conflicts. Additionally, it is crucial to consider whether your living and working environments are suitable for you, whether there are any missing corners, heavy negative energy, or ways to improve the situation. If you neglect these aspects, it may be difficult to change unfavorable dynamics in your emotional and marital life, as feng shui is all around us!
