Reading the Thumb

The thumb represents your whole hand. Much importance is attached to it in palm reading. The thumb is considered more important than the hand lines in palmistry. Your thumb can reveal your whole identity without consulting other features. Hence, it is considered the root of the hand. It is also called the center of willpower. The top phalange of the thumb stands for logic, while the lower phalange stands for willpower.

The longer the first phalange of the thumb directly determines a person’s strong-will. A person with a prolonged thumb phalange is self-willed. With a longer phalange, such a person has no desire to work. A shorter phalange means weaker self-will. If the thumb’s front appears squarish, it shows someone competent in legal matters and highly respected. A wide front of the thumb means such a person is obstinate. If the forepart is long, the person has antisocial tendencies. If the second phalange of the thumb is long, it means that a person is smart, careful, and social. Such a person is highly respected and considered of importance. A short phalange suggests someone that acts without forethought. This person may act clumsily due to a lack of reasoning.

There are seven types of thumbs. They include:

Long Thumb: Self-willed, self-dependent, and controlling.

Considers intelligence to be vital. Typically interested in engineering and mathematics.

Short Thumb: Easily influenced by others. More emotional than intelligent. Typically interested in music, poetry, and painting.

Stiff Thumb: Alert, self-aware, and obstinate. Ability to keep secrets. Lacks emotions but is highly intelligent.

Flexible Thumb: Interested in gathering wealth. Capable of adapting to circumstances.

Obtuse-Angled Thumb: Gentle and sweet-tempered.

Typically interested in music and artistic activities.

Acute-Angled Thumb: Indolent, lavish, and extravagant.

Attracted to corrupt activities.

Right-Angled Thumb: Short-tempered but reliable.

Hardworking yet stays neutral in relationships. Vengeful nature.

Those are the different types of thumbs and what they mean. When reading the thumb, consider the length and shape.

Chapter Nine: Reading the Mounts and the Plains Mounts are some of the most challenging things to read in palmistry.

They are the bumps of flesh on your palms. Reading them is an advanced form of palm reading that takes quite a time to learn. They are close to your wrist. They are called mounts because they look like mountains on the palm. In palmistry, we have multiple mounts, all of which are named after the planets. Each mount represents a different character in a person.

The defining features of the planets are found in their corresponding Mounts. The most prominent planet in the horoscope tends to be the most prominent on the palm. By reading how far-developed a person’s mounts are, you can learn about their lifestyle, romantic inclination, career, and other things. The seven mounts in palmistry are:

Mount of Jupiter

Location: Base of the index finger, just above the Mount of Mars.

Quality: Represents leadership, authority, power, and organization.

The Mount of Jupiter is crucial to progress. It is said to help facilitate progress in life. A well-developed and prominent Mount of Jupiter is found in people who possess godly qualities. Such people care deeply about self-respect. They are always ready to help others.

They are usually learned and intelligent. Rarely do they get bothered or pressured by difficult conditions. Those who work as Justices in the high courts tend to have a fully developed Mount of Jupiter. They can influence the public in their favor. They also tend to be religious-minded.

If Jupiter is not well developed or prominent, the qualities described above are sorely lacking. Physically, someone with an underdeveloped Mount of Jupiter has a healthy and ordinary-looking body.

They are kind-natured and always have a smile on their face. They are likely to be more respected than wealthy. A person can also have an over-developed Jupiter. When this happens, such a person is overly proud, selfish, and self-conceited. The absence of the Mount of Jupiter on an individual’s palms suggests that they have a hard time commanding others’ respect. They also lack self-respect for themselves. Even from loved ones, this person does not get attention and love.

Mount of Saturn

Location: Based at the root of the middle finger.

Qualities: Represents intelligence, integrity, responsibility, and duty.

Developing the Mount of Saturn points to extraordinary tendencies in a person. When this mount is well developed, it means that the person is realistic, independent, friendly, and mathematically skilled.

It also indicates good fortune. But an individual with a developed Mount of Saturn may be aloof towards others. They are set on achieving their goals, and this pushes them away from family. Such a person is usually engrossed in work. They also have a suspecting nature. They make great scientists, engineers, chemists, etc. An under-developed Mount of Saturn means that a person is superficial, disorganized, judgmental, lonely, and depressed.

Someone like this has suicidal tendencies. If over-developed, a person is isolated, cynical, pessimistic, distrusting, overcautious, and stubborn. This keeps them away from forming healthy and mutually beneficial relationships. An individual without a Mount of Saturn has no importance in life. But they might get special recognition or achieve something special in life.

Mount of Sun

Location: Based at the root of the ring finger.

Qualities:

Represents

leadership,

wealth,

self-assurance,

confidence, masculinity, and passion.

The Mount of Sun is also called Apollo. It indicates the level of success of an individual. A prominent Mount of Sun indicates that a person is famous and genius. It shows a high probability of achieving high status in life. A well-developed Mount of Sun often has a pink look. Someone with a prominent mount is typically cheerful and sociable. They love to work in proximity to others. Such a person may become a successful painter, artist, or musician. They are natural geniuses. Also, they are straightforward in their dealings with others.

A well-developed Mount of Sun portrays self-confidence, kindness, gentleness, and grandeur. An underdeveloped mount means an individual is dull, inconsistent, introverted, and a bad decision-maker.

This person will find it hard to succeed in any field. An over-developed Mount of Sun shows a hot-tempered and antagonistic individual. This person may be envious, proud, quarrelsome, and lavish. The absence of the mount points to an ordinary person destined for an ordinary life.

Mount of Mercury

Location: Base of the little finger.

Qualities: Represents logic, practicality, adaptability, and wisdom.

The Mount of Mercury is often associated with affluence and materialistic prosperity. A well-developed mount means an individual is quick-witted, flexible, mentally strong, organized, sensible, and excellent at reading others. It also means that a person has excellent communication skills. Such people are experts in Psychology. Their understanding of human psychology makes them successful in business. If the mount is under-developed, it portrays negativity, shyness, an inability to communicate effectively, and low financial success. An over-developed mount is found in greedy, materialistic people and will do anything for money. If the Mount of Mercury is absent, it indicates a person might be impoverished for the rest of their life. They cannot amass wealth and make money.
