Palmistry Signs of Infertility in Women

In metaphysical terms, a couple who has lived together for more than two years without contraception and is unable to conceive is considered "infertile." There are many causes of infertility, with female-related factors accounting for roughly seventy percent. If a couple has not conceived within two years of marriage, it is called "primary infertility"; if they have previously had children or experienced miscarriages and, without contraception, do not conceive for two consecutive years, it is called "secondary infertility."

In traditional Chinese thought, marriage is seen as a way to continue the family line. If a woman does not conceive in the first year of marriage, and again in the second, she may be neglected by her husband's family by the third year. In ancient times, couples compared their birth charts before marriage, in part to assess the woman's fertility. Based on the author's years of experience, the palmistry signs associated with infertility in women include:

• A broken end to the life line, with relatively indistinct terminal lines.
• Absence of a marriage line.
• Broken or indistinct transverse wrist lines.
• Nails that lack luster.

The palmistry signs associated with infertility in men include:

• A marriage line that is half the width of the second segment of the ring finger.
• A short end to the life line, with breaks.
• Only the life line, head line, and heart line are present.
• A flat Venus mound.
