Mounts

Mounts are the fleshy hills that appear in the palm of the hands, but underneath the fingers. The main idea is the larger and thicker the mount, the stronger is the characteristic in that specific field.

There are eight major mounts, which are separated by valleys, and each has a specific meaning of the person's character.

Occasionally, a hand has more than one well-developed mount. In that case, simply note the mounts and combine their qualities. After all, a person can be both a 'dreamer' and a 'creator', or a 'leader' and a 'thinker'. If two mounts stand equally high in the hand, be sure they are also equally firm to the touch before you decide that both are equally developed.

A high mount means that you have those qualities in you, while a firm one shows you are using those qualities. If a mount is flat or soft, its qualities and potential are either not present or they are not being used. Using the potential that is in you makes the mounts grow firm.
