padded swellings on the Palm are known as the Mounts; they
should be well rounded and firm, neither flat nor puffy. For
most of us some of them are over-developed or under-developed,
revealing excess or a lack of the relevant Quality.

the base of the Thumb. This shows love and devotion;
The Mount of the Moon, which lies opposite, on the
percussive edge of the Palm, shows imagination and creativity.
The Mount of Jupiter, at the base of the Index Finger,
signifies power, good fortune and leadership.

prudent, thoughtful, well-balanced person.
The Mount of Apollo, below the Ring Finger, signifies
