CHAPTER II

THE MOUNTS OR CUSHIONS

THE ancients have allocated the planets to the several Mounts, or Cushions, which are to be found in
every well-developed hand. These Mounts, and the planets associated with them, are as follows
1. The Mount of Jupiter lies at the root of the forefinger (called the Index, because it is that used for
indicating or pointing).
2. The Mount of Saturn at the root of the second finger.
3. The Mount of Apollo, or the Sun, at the root of the third finger or anularis (so called because it is the
ring finger).
4. The Mount of Mercury at the root of the little finger or auricularis.
5. The Mount of Mars lies below the Mount of Mercury on the "percussion" of the hand, between the
lines of the Heart and the Head (which see).
6. The Mount of the Moon is below the Mount of Mars, between the extremity of the Head line and the
wrist.
7. The Mount of Venus is at the root of the thumb, between the second joint of the thumb and the wrist.

In the following diagram the planetary symbols are used for the purpose of location. A study of the
ancient distribution of these symbols will show

Fig. 1.
the whole art of Palmistry is based upon astrological interpretations.
The Significations of the Mounts answer closely to the astrological natures of the planets which are said
to rule them: and it may be said that the characteristics of the several planets are found to be prominent
features in the character of a person in whose hand they are found to be well developed.
Thus Jupiter well developed denotes generosity, sympathy, love of justice, conviviality, nobility of
disposition, and a true sense of religion.
Defective - The nature denotes an absence of these qualities.
Excessive - Bombast, pride, ostentation, extravagance and carelessness.
Saturn well developed shows caution, carefulness, watchfulness, sincerity, strong attachment, patience
and thrift.
Defective - There is a tendency to self-regard only, and a lack of the sterling qualities which inspire
confidence in others. The person is not reliable.
Excessive - It disposes to misanthropy, melancholy and miserliness. There is a tendency to religious
mania when this mount exceeds that of Jupiter.
The Sun well developed shows dignity, sincerity, magnanimity, love of the fine arts, high ideals, great
projects.
Deficient - The nature is proud, assuming, frequently vain, and a tendency to rely upon appearances
rather than upon faculty and attainments, and to play the showman upon all occasions.
Excessive - It denotes a tyrannous, autocratic and despotic character, very proud and haughty, an
inordinate ambition and love of power. It is often shown by a love of pageants and great shows, and
when art is followed it favours the colossal and magnificent.
Mercury well developed shows eloquence, capacity for the pursuit of literature, activity, alertness, a good
memory, desire for knowledge, inquisitiveness. A commercial life is followed with much intelligence
and industry.
Defective - It denotes a mean, querulous and fretful nature, small mental power, a tendency to spy and
play the part of a busybody, a "picker-up of unconsidered trifles," generally cunning and loquacious.
Excessive - The mind runs to the material side of Nature for all its evidence; there is a self-assertion and
positiveness which is seldom warranted. The nature is prolix and concerned with more things than would
fill an encyclopedia or stock a museum. Such people make a business of their hobbies or a slavery of
their business.
The Moon well developed shows a romantic, idealist nature, fond of travelling, with a disposition to the
mystical, marked intuitive power, sentimental and sometimes dreamy.
Deficient - It denotes a prosaic and worldly nature, not affected by the consciousness of the larger life or
the greater universe, and quite devoid of the emotional and imaginative powers.
Excessive - The nature is fantastic, given to exaggeration, hypersensitive, vacillating, fickle and apt to be
carried away by the emotions. Unless Saturn controls and the Head line is well defined there is danger of
insanity.
Mars well developed shows courage, strength, prowess, freedom, frankness and well-defined ambitions.
It denotes an aspiring and enterprising character, willing to take risks and showing a "scorn of
consequence" which inspires others to deeds of daring.AMO - Palmistry Chapter 2
Deficient - The nature is lacking in courage and the manly attributes, and will never be a pioneer unless it
be in the religious or intellectual worlds. Yet even so there is a lack of zeal and fire which is not apt to be
convincing. A soldier without Mars well developed may be set down as a dandy.
Excessive - The temper is ungovernable, the projects speculative and rash, and the whole nature runs to
overheated determinism and impetuous self-assertion.
Venus well developed shows a refined, genial and sociable person, kind to children, fond of his home,
gallant to women, neat and orderly in his person and ménage, fond of music and festivity, bright lights,
flowers, sunshine and the pleasures of society.
Deficient - There is a lack of taste and refinement; the person and home are disorderly or only
superficially clean; there is a lack of comradeship and a distaste for social life; the friendships are of a
commercial, or possibly a platonic, nature, but never infused with any great degree of affection. The
beautiful in nature and art does not make any appeal to him.
Excessive - The nature is coarse and disposed to debauchery, and the lower sensual appetites are allowed
to have full sway. The sensuous and material are of first consideration, and all the powers are directed to
the attainment of luxuries and the gratification of the passions.
