Mount of Saturn

At the base of the second finger sits the Mount of Saturn. Cheiro 1897 reads it as love of solitude and quiet, prudence, earnestness at work, a turn toward somber subjects and a taste for sacred or classical music. Benham 1900 looks for his Saturnian, the second type in his scheme, in the height of this mount and the length of the middle finger.

Baughan 1891 takes a different line on the names. She quotes the view that planet names on the mounts carry no astrological meaning, rejects it, and says the old authors without exception grounded the art in the planets. She also assigns the zodiac signs to parts of the hand.

Cheiro singles out a star on this mount as one of his few ominous signs, and reads a grille here as misfortune and a gloomy nature.
