Palmistry divides the palm into nine divisions. They are called
the Mounts. Each palm has nine zones or pads more popularly known
as Mounts . Each mount denotes mental as well as physical peculiarities
etc of the individual. The mounts are Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury,
Moon, Venus, and Mars- Lower, Mars-upper.
The mount at the base of the index finger indicates a person's
desire to lead others, his ambitions and his ego. Palmists call
it the Mount of Jupiter . That is why the finger has the peculiarities
of Jupiter.
The small area at the base of the middle finger is indicative of
the placidity of character, the analytical power, the desire for
worldly goods and the yen for solitude. It has been named after
Saturn as the Mount of Saturn .
The Mount of Saturn is generally found in a depressed state, but,
because the finger associated with it, the Middle one, is longer
than the rest, it offsets the deficiency The middle finger has all
the peculiarities of Saturn.
The small area below the third or ring finger, is indicative of
a person's zeal, desire for ostentation and the love of fine arts.
It is called the Mount of the Sun or Apollo and the third finger
has all the peculiarities of Sun.
The area below the little finger is indicative of a person's pragmatic
bent of mind and eloquence. It is named as the Mount of Mercury
and this finger has all the peculiarities of Mercury.
A small area below the Mount of Mercury is indicative of a person's
patience. Western palmistry calls it the Upper Mars (Defensive Mars).
The area below the Mount of Jupiter is called the Lower Mars ( Aggressive
Mars) by Western palmists. It is indicative of the amount of courage
a person has.
The area below the Defensive Mars, extending upto the edge of the
palm in one direction and the wrist in the other represents the
imagination and the desire for change in a person. This area is
known as the Mount of the Moon.
The area under the Aggressive Mars which extends from the base
of the thumb to the wrist shows the sex urge, the vitality and the
amount of human sympathy in a person. It has been named as the Mount
of Venus .
The area which lies within these mounts is known as the Plain of
Mars . If it appears to be full, a person has excess of physical
strength and he does not easily lose courage. If it is depressed,
a person loses courage in the struggle for life. If a mount in the
palm is prominent, it is known as a developed mount. A person having
a particular mount in a developed state is likely to have the qualities
associated with that mount. Converse is the case if a mount is depressed
or under-developed.
