Beneath each finger rest their respective mounts. There are two mounts of Mars—that immediately at the base of the Jupiter mount, and that situated beneath Mercury mount. The mount of Luna is directly opposite to that of Venus, which is found where the thumb joins the wrist. ([Fig. 5].)
In many hands it will be observed that the position of the mounts varies. Jupiter may swell over the boundary line, and squeeze Saturn into close proximity with Apollo, which, in its turn, may take the place allotted to Mercury. These signs are important.
Jupiter’s approach to Saturn shows timidity and self-consciousness.
Saturn’s approach to Apollo shows that the creation of art and literature is tinged with melancholy.
Apollo’s approach to Mercury shows humanity, charity, and a peaceable disposition.
Mercury’s approach to Mars: self-reliance and resource in danger.
Mars’ approach to Mercury: originality, defiance, and ability to hold one’s own against opposition.
Luna inclining towards the wrist: reveries, some frivolity and love of pleasure.
