Mount of Jupiter

Everything here reports what named old books claimed about hands. None of it is a statement about you or about anything to come.

In an older source

When developed it shows ambition, pride, enthusiasm in anything attempted, and desire for power.

Cheiro, The Language of the Hand (1897)

About this entry

The Mount of Jupiter is the raised pad at the base of the first finger. Cheiro 1897 reads a developed one as ambition, pride, enthusiasm and a desire for power. Benham 1900 opens his seven human types with the Jupiterian, picked out by a strong mount and a strong first finger.

Heron-Allen 1885 and Cheiro both say the planet names are labels only. Heron-Allen writes that they come from a habit of linking traits with pagan gods and carry no astrological meaning, and Cheiro says he uses them as a quicker way to describe the qualities.

Cheiro reads two signs on this mount. A grille there means egotism, pride and a dominating spirit, and a clear triangle means more than the usual success in managing people.
