Mounts of the Palm: The Seven Mounts Explained

The mounts are the fleshy pads on your palm. Each is named after a planet and linked to a part of your character. A well developed mount strengthens that quality, a flat one shows it plays a smaller role.

Press gently on each pad to feel how full it is. Readers compare the mounts with each other rather than judging one alone.

Lines that run into a mount carry its meaning. A line ending on the mount of Apollo, for example, is read as success through creativity.
