MOUNTS ON HAND
Learn About Your Mounts On Hand
The mounts are small mounds on the surface of the palm. They relate to potential energy and activities the person enjoys doing. Consequently, they are very useful in vocational guidance. The mounts can be read for both quality and quantity. If the mount is high, the person will be energetic and active in the specific area related to that mount. They will be prepared to put physical energy into the qualities the mount indicates. If the mount is wide, it shows the potential of the mind. Ideally, we look for high, wide mounts. First of all, look at all the mounts to find which one predominates on the person’s palm. Once you find what appears to be the main mount, press on it and see how firm it is. If the mount is firm, the person will be making use of knowledge he or she has learned. If the mount is soft, the person will have gained knowledge that is not being utilized.
You will sometimes find hands where all of the mounts seem to be equally strong. Someone with hands like this will have a great deal of drive and ambition and be confident of achieving their goals. A palm
like this is sometimes known as a “lucky hand”. You will also find hands where it’s hard to detect any of the mounts. Someone with hands like this will be lacking in confidence and unsure of his or her ability to succeed. It the hand is firm to the touch, he or she can achieve their goals, but will have to work much harder than someone with strongly visible mounts. The first four mounts are at the base of the fingers and the other four are in different parts on the hand. Each of the finger mounts has a central apex, which is a triangular skin ridge pattern similar to fingerprints. You may need a magnifying glass to determine the apex in many mounts. If the apex is sited directly under the middle of the finger, it is a sign that this mount is the most important in the hand. If two or more mounts have centrally sited apexes, each mount is of equal importance.
The Mount of Jupiter
This mount is found at the base of the first finger. If it is well sited and wide as well as high, the person will be a natural leader, someone who can walk into any situation and immediately take charge. This person will be intelligent, show initiative and have plenty of self-esteem. He or she will be ambitious and prepared to work hard to achieve his or her goals. A strong Jupiter mount is found on the hands of many people in public life, and also in charismatic religious leaders. If this mount is high, but spongy rather that firm, the person will be vain and proud. They will enjoy showing off and asserting themselves. They could overindulge in a number of areas. Food is likely to be one of them.
The Mount of Saturn
This mount is found beneath the Saturn finger. If it is well developed the person will have a saturnine approach to life. He or she will be responsible and hard-working yet tend to be gloomy and solitary. This person will enjoy work that is detailed and can be done on their own with little input from others. This person is usually loved by others, but he or she will find it difficult to express affection and love in return. If this mount is wide and spongy to the touch, it is an indication of someone who enjoys wallowing in morbid fantasies. In practice, this is the mount least likely to be dominant in the hand. Most people have a flat area under the Saturn finger. This means they do not possess the negative traits associated with the mount.
The Mount of Apollo
This mount is found at the base of the Apollo finger. It provides a measure of the person’s outlook on success, happiness and beauty. A well-developed mount gives enthusiasm, aesthetic tastes and skill in dealing with others. They will have good taste and will appreciate beautiful things. Success is viewed purely in financial terms by many people, and someone with a well developed Mount of Apollo will be shrewd in assessing money making opportunities. People with a well-developed Apollo mount are adaptable and versatile, able to fit in to any situation and immediately make their presence felt. They’re charming and easy to get along with. However, people with a strong Apollo mount have a quick temper as well. Once their annoyance fades, the outbursts are quickly forgotten, at least by them! The main faults of a large Mount of Apollo are vanity and a tendency to exaggerate.
If this mount is soft and spongy the person is likely to fantasize about great success, but do little to achieve it. This person could be a connoisseur in creative fields. If the mount is virtually non-existent, the person will be down-to-earth and practical, but will lack imagination and an appreciation ofaesthetic matters. If the Apollo mount is sited towards the Saturn finger the person is likely to be interested in composing music or writing plays, rather than performing. If this mount is sited towards the Mercury finger, the person is likely to be interested more in performing, producing or directing. He or she could also be involved in the business side of the arts and become an impresario or theatre manager.
