The Mounts of the Hand: Cheiro’s Palmistry Map
Planetary names divide an open palm into labelled regions. Jupiter, Saturn, Sun and Mercury lie beneath the fingers, while Mars, Moon and Venus name areas nearer the palm and thumb. Plate XIII maps the mounts used in Cheiro’s palmistry. The names describe the book’s symbolic system rather than anatomical structures or established psychological measurements.
