About this entry
This mount lies at the base of the third finger and also goes by the name of Apollo. When well developed, Cheiro 1897 says, it shows an enthusiastic appreciation of beautiful things, whether or not the person follows an artistic calling. He lists a love of painting, poetry and literature, and a grace of mind and thought.
The Apollonian comes third in Benham 1900, read from this mount and the ring finger taken together. The mount is separate from the sun line on the palm, which has its own page here.
A grille on this mount is read by Cheiro as vanity, folly and a wish for celebrity. A well-placed triangle becomes a practical use of art with a calm attitude toward success.
