What Do the Mounts on Your Palm Indicate?
Mounts in palmistry hold special significance as they serve as the origin points for various lines in the hand. These mounts are the elevated pads of flesh in the palm. The hand continuously receives signals from the brain, and certain regions in the palm have extra flesh padding to protect areas with increased blood supply and signal transmissions. These padded regions are known as ‘mounts’ in palmistry.
In palmistry, each mount is associated with a specific planet in astrology, symbolising particular qualities in an individual. It is believed that the features of different planets are reflected in these mounts, and the prominence of a particular planet’s mount indicates its importance in the palm.
The mounts on the palm can offer insights into a person’s interests. If a mount is raised higher and feels firm to the touch, it indicates that the person has a lot of potential or is putting a significant amount of energy into that particular area. These mounts can be a valuable indicator of suitable career choices for an individual.
Mounts can vary in height—being raised, overly developed, or appearing non-existent. Understanding the meanings for each type can be challenging, especially when comparing them in your own hands. Conducting readings for others can provide reference points, and viewing the palm from the base of the hand at an angle can be beneficial.
While there are ten mounts on the palm, here we will focus on the six most prominent and easily identifiable ones.
Mount of Jupiter
-
Location: Below the pointer finger
-
Raised: Confidence, Wisdom, leadership
-
Overdeveloped: Pretentious
-
Underdeveloped: Low-self esteem
In palmistry, the mount of Jupiter is associated with authority and willpower. A well-developed mount typically suggests that the person possesses ambition and a career-oriented mindset and is perceived as responsible, honest, and reliable. This indicates a strong and positive character.
On the other hand, if the mount of Jupiter is flat, it might be interpreted as a lack of ambition or willpower. People with a less prominent mount may be considered clumsy, and there could be concerns about their honesty and moral values.
Mount of Saturn
-
Location: Below the middle finger
-
Raised: Discipline, balance, independence
-
Overdeveloped: Pessimistic, easily depressed
-
Underdeveloped: Superficial
This mount reflects your perception and integrity. A well-developed spot signifies an independent, sincere, intelligent, and hardworking person. If it’s underdeveloped or flat, it suggests the person easily feels sad, depressed, and lonely most of the time.
Mount of Sun
-
Location: Below the ring finger
-
Raised: Ambition, success, creativity
-
Overdeveloped: Vain
-
Underdeveloped: Lacks imagination
A person with a well-developed mount here tends to be clever in many situations, enjoys art and literature, and is open to others’ opinions.
On the other hand, if this mount is not well-defined in someone’s hand, it may suggest that the person is not into aesthetics, lacks luck in creating things, and doesn’t have a love for the arts.
Mount of Mercury
-
Location: Below the Pinky finger
- Raised: Intuition, intelligence, activity
Overdeveloped: Greedy
-
Underdeveloped: Shy
When this part of the hand is well-shaped, the person is usually smart in different situations, likes art and literature, and is willing to consider others’ opinions.
However, if this part is not well-defined, it could mean the person isn’t interested in aesthetics, doesn’t have good luck in creating things, and doesn’t enjoy the arts.
Mount of Moon
-
Location: Base of palm, below the Pinky finger
-
Raised: Courage, mysticism, imagination
- Overdeveloped: Lives in a fantasy world
Underdeveloped: Closed off
This part of the hand is linked to imagination and mystery. When well-developed, it indicates that the person is imaginative and creative and values freedom. On the flip side, if it’s less developed, it suggests the person might lack ideas and tend to be conservative in their views on everything.
Mount of Venus
-
Location: Base of the hand between the thumb and lifeline
-
Raised: Love, sympathy, grace
-
Overdeveloped: Overindulgent
-
Underdeveloped: Cold
This area represents emotions of love and affection. A well-developed mount suggests a person with a sympathetic, gentle, and attractive nature, often experiencing good fortune in love.
On the other hand, someone without a developed mount in this area may lack energy and exhibit a cold-hearted or occasionally rude demeanour.
Mount of Mars
-
Location: Below the Pinky finger
-
Raised: Intuition, intelligence, activity
-
Overdeveloped: Greedy
-
Underdeveloped: Shy
Inner Mars
This is referred to as the positive Mars. When well-developed, the person tends to be brave, healthy, and adventurous. On the other hand, those with an underdeveloped inner mind may be timid and indecisive.
Outer Mars
This is considered the negative Mars. Individuals with a fully developed outer Mars are fearless but avoid taking risks in money-making ventures. Those with less developed outer Mars may lack endurance, struggle to stay calm due to impatience, and face difficulties in solving problems attentively.
