The Mount Of Mercury And Its Meaning

The Mount of Mercury is found under the base of the fourth finger.

On a good hand it is a favourable Mount to have, but on a

hand shewing evil tendencies, especially mental, it increases the bad

indications.

It seems to relate more to the mind than anything else. It gives

quickness of brain, wit, thought, eloquence. It also relates to

adaptability in science and commerce, but if evilly afflicted, it denotes

mental excitability, nervousness, lack of concentration, trickiness in

business, and everything that is unreliable in character.

This Mount should always be considered with the kind of Line of Head

found on the hand.

With a Line of Head long and well marked, it increases all the promise of

mental aptitude and success, but with a weak, badly marked, or irregular

Head Line, it augments all its weak or bad indications.
