Exploring Your Health Through Palmistry: Insights from the Mounts of the Hand

Mounts of the Palm refer to the slightly elevated areas on the palm. While traditionally there are seven main mounts, the Mars mount is divided into the first and second Mars mounts, making a total of eight. The central lower area is known as the Mars Plain. The sequence of the mounts begins at the Mars Plain in the center of the palm, followed by the Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury, Moon, and Venus mounts. Here are some ways to evaluate your health based on the mounts of the palm.

Diseases Associated with the Mounts

• The Moon mount is linked to mental illnesses, women's diseases, edema, obesity, body odor, peritonitis, dampness, and cold symptoms.
• The Venus mount is associated with kidney diseases, stomach issues, kidney deficiency, allergies, and damp-heat conditions.
• The Mars mount is connected to inflammation, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and heat-related illnesses.
• The Jupiter mount is linked with liver and gallbladder diseases, dizziness, strokes, blood disorders, and wind-related conditions.
• The Saturn mount is related to gallbladder diseases, rheumatism, hemorrhoids, depression, osteoporosis, and cold symptoms.
• The Sun mount governs heart and blood circulation diseases.
• The Mercury mount is associated with neurological disorders, hearing impairments, speech disorders, dryness, and wind-related conditions.

Assessing Health from the Thickness and Lines of the Mounts

The mounts are named after the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and are also tied to the eight trigrams. Each mount corresponds to its governing elements. Ideally, all mounts should be full, prominent, and rosy in color.

1. Venus Mount: Located at the base of the palm, it corresponds to the Earth element and is responsible for the digestive system and vitality. Dark blue or green veins indicate poor digestive function and possible stomach issues. Disorganized lines may suggest reproductive system disorders. Feather-like lines can indicate susceptibility to neurological issues, while dark blue cloud-like areas suggest digestive dysfunction.

2. Jupiter Mount: Situated on the side of the palm, it corresponds to the Wood element and governs the stomach, liver, and gallbladder. If this area is sunken, swollen, or shows disorganized lines, it could indicate stomach and liver problems. A swollen mount with chaotic lines may suggest a risk of cardiovascular diseases.

3. Mercury Mount: Found at the base of the palm, it corresponds to the Earth element and governs reproductive and respiratory functions. Individuals with disorganized lines here are more likely to experience digestive system issues.

4. Mars Mount: The first Mars mount, located at the edge of the palm, corresponds to the Wood element and oversees sexual desire, kidney function, and the reproductive and urinary systems. The second Mars mount governs the kidneys and respiratory system. Well-developed mounts suggest strong sexual desire, while disorganized lines and poor coloration indicate susceptibility to reproductive, urinary, and respiratory conditions. Straight lines cutting through the second Mars mount may suggest weaker respiratory health, while circular markings could imply vision impairments.

5. Mars Plain: Located centrally in the palm, it corresponds to the Fire element governing heart, brain, central nervous function, and circulation. A dark Mars Plain can signify recent health problems. A warm, red palm may point to excessive internal heat and nervous dysfunction or chronic conditions, while a cold, pale palm indicates insufficient circulation and digestive weaknesses. Symptoms of excessive heart fire include yellow tongue coating, hand tremors, and tinnitus, whereas weak heart fire shows as a pale tongue, cold body, and difficulties in pregnancy.

6. Saturn Mount: Found at the edge of the palm, it corresponds to the Fire element and oversees heart and circulatory functions. Star-like markings on the Saturn mount can suggest a risk of hypertension. A swollen mount with chaotic lines may associate with neurological diseases, hemorrhoids, and paralysis.

7. Sun Mount: Located at the edge of the palm, it relates to the Fire element and governs optic nerves, sensory organs, and motor skills. Chaotic lines or island markings suggest a risk of neurosis and eye diseases. Disorganized lines can imply tendencies towards neurosis, aneurysms, heart diseases, and vision impairments.

8. Earth Mount: Positioned at the palm's base, it connects to the Water element and oversees kidneys, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine functions. Women with diagonal lines crossing the Earth mount at the life line's end may experience infertility and ovulation issues. Three visible blue veins extending from the wrist into the Earth mount may also point to similar problems.

9. Moon Mount: Situated at the top of the palm, it corresponds to the Metal element. Signs of disease in this area may indicate respiratory system, kidney, bladder, and gynecological issues. It also relates to the nervous system, and disorganized lines on the Moon mount can signal neurosis, vision loss, and gout. A long, deep vertical line might suggest peripheral neuropathy.

The mounts of the palm refer to the slightly elevated muscle areas on the hand. Traditionally, there are seven main mounts, but including the first and second Mars mounts, there are eight in total. The Mars Plain is the central lower area. The sequence of mounts starts at the Mars Plain in the palm's center, followed by the Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury, Moon, and Venus mounts.
