10.10 THE MOUNTS OF THE PALM
10.10 THE MOUNTS OF THE PALM
****************************
The palm is divided into nine areas. They are the key to our natural abilities and emotional traits. Each area is called a mount, which sounds as though there is a point or hump in each section. This is not the case. It has been a traditional term to designate the different qualifications of each area. Naming them, in order around the palm, they are as follows: the mount (area) of Jupiter, under the first finger; Saturn, under the second finger; Apollo, under the third; Mercury, under the fourth; Upper Mars, under Mercury, on the percussion side of the palm; Luna, occupying the rest of the percussion side of the palm; Venus, between the root of the thumb to the encircling line called the line of life and extending from the wrist to about three-fourths of the distance upward within the line of life; the rest of this area is called Lower Mars; the center of all these areas is called the Plain of Mars. The higher or the more space that is developed, the more important are the traits attributed to that area. They are a fleshy elevation filling the entire area, or they can be off center. Each location has a variation of the meaning of the area and its relation to the entire analysis of the palm. The Plain of Mars is the plain or hollow center of the palm.
