10.17 THE MOUNT OF LOWER MARS – INTERPRETATION
This area is really part of the Venus area since it lies within the line of life, filling the upper section of the enclosure. It is termed “lower” because it lies below the head line, as opposed to Upper Mars, which lies above the normal head line, on the percussion side of the palm. It represents the will to fight for a cause, for family, for country, or for personal reputation or aim. This can be mental activity or it can be physical, such as men in the armed forces. In a woman’s hand it is aggressiveness for self and family.
