Cheiro, The Language of the Hand (1897)
About this entry
Under the little finger is the Mount of Mercury. Cheiro 1897 calls its qualities mercurial and lists them in the quoted line. He adds that if the rest of the hand is favorable, those qualities turn out for the good of the person, and if unfavorable, the other way.
For Benham 1900 the little finger and the mount under it mark out a fourth character, the Mercurian. Both authors draw the marriage lines on this mount, and they have their own page.
Cheiro reads a clear triangle here as a check on restlessness and a promise of success in business or money.
