Following on from our earlier ‘ A Beginners Guide to Reading Palms‘ article, which proved to be very popular, this article focuses on one specific area of palmistry to give a more detailed guide. What I will be explaining here are the so-called ‘mounts’ of the hand and their meanings, along with the central ‘plain’ in the middle of the palm.

There are actually 8 mounts on each hand, but due to constraints on space here I will be focussing on the 6 main ones, which are the fleshy pads at the bottom of each finger, plus the extra one on the opposite side of the palm to the thumb.

The Mount of Venus: This is the large pad of flesh that covers the base of the thumb. It indicates the ability to express emotion and affection, the kind of relationships a person will have, and levels of libido (taken in the broader definition to include general life energy as well as sexual energy). A very large and firm mount of Venus indicates an energetic, probably quite charismatic person with a high sex drive. This kind of person must be wary of becoming obsessive over things. A flat and flabby mount of Venus often shows a listless personality prone to depression and illness. They may have a low sex drive and a tendency to give up on things too soon. A medium sized and springy feeling mount shows a person with good energy levels who is probably sociable and who will have happy and fulfilling relationships.

Mount of Mercury: This relates to communication and business success, and is located where the little finger meets the palm. If it is large and puffy this probably indicates a person who may be very eloquent, but whose words are all designed for effect and are not from the heart; they would make a good salesperson. If it is underdeveloped the person is introverted and may have trouble expressing themselves.

Mount of Apollo: This is located below the ring finger and denotes artistic ability and sociability. If it is over developed the person will probably be showy and ostentatious – a born entertainer – and will be of generous spirit, whereas if it is under-developed the person is likely to be quite staid and cynical, with little interest in aesthetics and beauty.

Mount of Saturn: Located under the middle finger this mount related to balance, self-control the sense of duty and responsibility, which is taken to far, in a person who has a particularly pronounced mount of Saturn, can drain all of the fun out of life, as everything is then about what should be done, rather than what it would be nice to do. A very small and flat mount may show a capricious person with a phobia for commitment and an immature attitude throughout life.

Mount of Jupiter: The pad under the index finger relates to ambition, leadership ability and confidence. The larger the pad the more of the above qualities a person will possess, but if it is overly large they may be overbearing, arrogant and controlling.

Mount of the Moon: This is located on the outer part of the palm, opposite the mount of Venus and just above the wrist. It relates to sensitivity, imagination and intuition. If it is thin and flat the person will be either quite dull, or will be super-rational and quite closed minded. If it is very large then this shows a person who is very imaginative, sensitive and empathic, but who needs to remember to stay grounded in reality. In between, as always, is best, indicating an imaginative, creative and compassionate person.

Plain of Mars: This is the flat area in the center of the palm and relates to self-confidence, indicating a small or large amount depending on the size and firmness. It is interesting to compare this to the mount of Jupiter; a relatively large mount of Jupiter with a soft or bony plain of Mars shows that a person portrays a very confident image to others, but is actually riddled with doubts and self-recrimination.
