Palm mounts explained
Traditional palmistry names seven mounts. They are the padded areas of the palm, not the creases. The notes below place each pad, name the old association, and give the planet the books attach to it. They do not measure the body, and they do not promise what happens next.
The palm card reads the lines on this same hand. You photograph your palm, the map is drawn on your phone, and the photo stays on your device. It is never uploaded. The free look is the heart line. The full reading is a one-time $2.99.

How to find the mounts
Use the hand you write with. Hold it palm up in daylight, fingers relaxed, thumb out to the side. Touch each pad lightly. A pad that pushes back is the one the old books call full. A pad you can barely feel is flat. If two neighboring pads feel alike, say so. "Venus and the Moon both stand up" is a clearer note than a ranking you had to force.
Four mounts sit in a row under the fingers. Venus is at the thumb, the Moon is on the outer palm, and Mars has two seats.
The mount of Venus
Venus is the broad pad at the base of the thumb. The life line usually curves around it, and on most hands it is the largest mount. Traditional palmistry associates it with affection, warmth, and a love of company and comfort.
The planet is Venus. In the traditional system Venus rules Taurus and Libra. The link is that old rulership. It is not a check of the sign on a birth certificate. Each sign has its own daily page.
The mount of Jupiter
Jupiter is the pad at the base of the index finger, on the thumb side of the hand. It is associated with ambition, self-respect, and the wish to be trusted with a task.
The planet is Jupiter. The traditional rulers are Sagittarius and Pisces. Modern astrology keeps Sagittarius with Jupiter and assigns Pisces to Neptune. Palmistry still uses the older pair.
The mount of Saturn
Saturn is the pad at the base of the middle finger, between Jupiter and Apollo. It is associated with seriousness, patience, and a habit of weighing a limit before a promise.
The planet is Saturn. The traditional rulers are Capricorn and Aquarius. Modern astrology keeps Capricorn with Saturn and assigns Aquarius to Uranus. The palmistry link is the older one.
The mount of Apollo
Apollo, also called the mount of the Sun, is the pad at the base of the ring finger. It is associated with making, display, and the wish to be known for a craft.
The planet is the Sun. The Sun rules Leo, and only Leo. The daily note for that sign is on its horoscope page. The mount does not confirm a birthday.
The mount of Mercury
Mercury is the pad at the base of the little finger, on the outer side of the hand. It is associated with speech, trade, and ease with people: explaining, bargaining, or changing how something is said.
The planet is Mercury. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo.
The mount of the Moon
The Moon, also called Luna, is the pad on the outer edge of the palm, opposite the thumb and above the wrist. It sits below the outer seat of Mars. It is associated with imagination, mood, and a sensitivity to the atmosphere of a room. The old books also place dreams and long journeys here.
The planet is the Moon. The Moon rules Cancer.
The mount of Mars
Mars is counted as one mount with two seats. The old books do not add an eighth.
Inner Mars, sometimes called lower Mars, is the firmer pad in the web between the thumb and the index finger, above Venus and below Jupiter. It is read as courage that meets a challenge directly.
Outer Mars, sometimes called upper Mars, is the edge of the palm under the little finger, between Mercury and the Moon. It is read as endurance, the ability to hold a position once it is taken.
The slight hollow in the center of the palm is sometimes called the plain of Mars. It is the space between the mounts, not another mount.
The planet is Mars. The traditional rulers are Aries and Scorpio. Modern astrology keeps Aries with Mars and assigns Scorpio to Pluto. Palmistry keeps the older pair.
Mounts, lines, and shape
Name the one or two mounts that stand up, and leave the flat ones as quiet. Then look at the creases and the outline of the hand. Where the heart, head, life, fate, and sun lines sit is on the palm lines guide. Palm shape and finger length are on the hand shapes guide. The three notes describe different parts of the same hand.
The palm card draws a stroke only when the map locks onto a crease. The mounts are not part of that automatic map, so the steps above are how you check them. The photo stays on your device. The free look is the heart line, and the full reading is $2.99.
