Mount of Venus
Location: Base of the thumb, just next to the Mount of Inner Mars.
Qualities: Represents beauty, luxury, love, sensuality, and appearance.
The Mount of Venus represents things that concern passion. People with well-developed Venus can adequately enjoy the world and its luxuries. They are beautiful, classy, and civilized. They are healthy and influential, and they are also bold and courageous. Someone with the Mount of Venus is said to enjoy the finer things in life. They have good fortune with wealth, love, and relationships. But when the mount is under-developed, it suggests that a person is lackluster, cold-hearted, overly critical, and has no interest in romance. The person may also be weak-natured and cowardly.
An over-developed Mount of Venus suggests that a person is promiscuous, superficial, materialistic, overindulgent, and covetous.
Such a person always seeks instant gratification due to their lack of willpower. The absence of the mount means the person is inclined towards an ascetic lifestyle. They have no interest in family life.
Mount of Mars
Location: Center of the palm.
Qualities: Represents masculine energy, action, aggressiveness, and conflict.
The palm has three different Mars, all of which are located in the center of the palm. You have the Negative Mars, Positive Mars, and Plain of Mars. Each of these Mars deals with specific aspects of the qualities listed above.
The Negative Mars, also called the Mount of Inner Mars, is between Jupiter and Venus. This Mount represents one positive and one negative trait—enthusiasm and aggression. A well-developed Mount of Inner Mars means that a person is enthusiastic, adventurous, courageous, and healthy. An under-developed mount suggests indecisiveness, uncertainty, timidity, limited emotional expression, and a lack of self-esteem. An over-developed mount suggests that a person
is
quick-tempered,
aggressive,
egotistical,
and
argumentative.
Positive Mars is called the Mount of Outer Mars. It is based between Venus and Luna and signifies a person’s temperament and resistance level. A well-developed Mount of Outer Mars indicates strong character, courage, good health, and balance; underdeveloped, it represents trouble with emotional expression. An over-developed mount means that a person is defiant and stubborn.
The Plain of Mars is also called the Middle of Mars. It is between the Inner and Outer Mars. The mount here is typically not big, so the interpretations often differ. A thick Plain of Mars indicates sociability, energy, and possible rebellion. Under-developed suggests a quick-tempered and self-centered nature. A dip in the Middle of Mars indicates a calm temperament and a patient nature.
Mount of Moon
Location: Base of the palm beside the little finger.
Qualities: Represents emotion, intuition, creativity, and imagination.
The Mount of Moon makes a person highly imaginative and emotional. A fully developed mount signifies a love of nature and beauty. Someone with this tends to live in a dream world because of his or her ability to imagine. Such a person is a dreamer, a lover of nature, psychic, compassionate, and intuitive. They also love water.
Under-developed Moon means a person is introverted and loves to be alone. It also signifies a lack of innovation, conservatism, and pessimism.
If the Mount is over-developed, the person is over-imaginative, sentimental, overly emotional, and possibly delusional. This person lives in a fantasy world that they’ve created in their head.

Chapter Ten: Reading the Lines Look at your palm. How many lines do you see? Like me, you probably see three significant lines and several other minor ones.
Actually, that is what anyone would see when they look at their palm.
Whether big or small, thick or thin, every line on your palm is vital in determining the speed of your life force. Therefore, to make a good palmist, you must know how to study each line on your palm critically.
Every person has three primary lines on the palm, plus others considered minor or secondary lines. The three major lines are the Life Line, the Head Line, and the Heart Line. The Fate Line and Marriage Line are sometimes categorized as significant lines, but the above three come before them. These three lines are significant because they hold valuable information about each aspect of your life that shapes who you are as a person. To aid your understanding, we will discuss each major line separately.
Lifeline
Description: The lifeline begins from the palm’s edge between the index finger and the thumb. From there, it extends towards the wrist and stops at the base of the thumb.
The lifeline is perhaps the most intriguing line to study on the palm.
Many people go to palmists just to read their palm lines. The lifelines are often called the age line or the paternal lifeline. It represents multiple facets of human life, but the general misconception is that the lifeline determines a person’s mortality. Many people believe that the lifeline can tell them how long they will live. This is a case of partial misunderstanding. The lifeline reflects a person’s life force, energy, and physical vitality. Also, one can use it to check for accidents or severe illnesses during one’s lifetime.
If you can clearly see other lines on your palm, but the lifeline is almost absent, this is a negative sign. It suggests that a short life and
poor health. If you have no lifeline, it means you will be prone to accidents and sicknesses throughout your lifetime.
A long, deeply etched, and tender lifeline means you are highly resistant to diseases. It also means you are full of vital energy.
A short lifeline shows you are vulnerable to illness. It does not mean that one has a short lifespan, contrary to what many believe. Personality-wise, a short lifeline shows you are down-to-earth and full of integrity.
A thick lifeline suggests that you are subjected to a life of physical labor.
A vague lifeline indicates that you get sick quickly. It also means that your career may not pick up until your middle years.
A straight lifeline that sticks closely to the thumb signifies limited energy and vitality. You may get tired and dehydrated quickly.
A semicircular lifeline close to the base of your thumb means you are full of energy and vigor. You are also enthusiastic.
A doubled lifeline that runs parallel to another line is also a sign of healthy vitality. It shows you are resistant to disease and illness. And you get adequate mental and emotional support from family members.
Most times, lifelines come with markings and signs. These marks are instrumental in interpreting the meaning of the lifeline. So, pay close attention to them when doing a palm reading.
Chained: If your lifeline has a marking similar to a chain, this could indicate poor health. It means you may have a weak digestive system and repeatedly suffer from shattered health.
Island: An island on the lifeline indicates accidents, illnesses, or hospitalization at specific times during your lifetime. The severity of the accident or illness depends on the size of the island marking.
Broken: The lifeline is sometimes broken. When this is the case, it means you might endure a major illness, accident, or disaster in your life. The wider the interval between the broken
lines, the longer the duration of the illness. If the broken lines overlap, it suggests you will recover from the illness. If you observe a short line below or above the broken lifeline, it means you will fully recover from the severe illness.
Branches: A branched marking above the lifeline represents diligence, positivity, and optimism. If the branched markings are plenty, it shows you have ambitious and lofty plans. But too many lines means you get nowhere due to too many ideas. Branched markings that go downward on the lifeline imply that your physical health is declining. You may feel lonely and tired all the time.
Forks: If your lifeline looks forked at the end, it suggests you will be busy in your middle and late years. This may be because of developing your career.
Tridents: If tridents appear at the end of your lifeline, it signifies you as a traveler. You will enjoy traveling to different parts of the world.
Tassels: These often appear at the beginning of the lifeline.
They indicate loneliness in old age due to the absence of children.
Other markings you may find around your lifeline include crosses, stars, etc.
