Morphology
The phrase is compositionally interpretable as a 'line associated with Saturn', so learners can guess an astrological or destiny-related sense from 'line' + 'Saturn'. However, the specific reference to a palm crease used in palmistry (the fate/Saturn line) is culturally specific and not predictable from the words alone, so full understanding requires prior exposure.
Etymology
Line of Saturn is a name from old palm readers. They called a long crease the line and named it after the planet Saturn, which people thought ruled 'fate' and work, so a deep line of Saturn came to mean a sign of 'success' or an important life path.
