The Mount of Mercury
This Mount is situated at
the base of the fourth finger (fig 8), and in conjunction with it, marks the
Mercurial, whose varied capabilities will necessitate careful consideration.
The first essential, with
this type, is to find out which side, the good or the bad, is the stronger, or
of all the types the Mercurial is most easily led into dishonest practice. If
good, the Mercurial is one of the best, and most successful in science,
eloquence, industry, law, politics or medicine; on the other hand, no greater
cheats, swindlers or liars can be found.
The Mercurial is of medium
height, very compact in build, neat in his appearance, and with an expressive
countenance, always conveying a sense of restless activity-as a rule, he retains
a more or less youthful appearance in old age.
He is the most active of
all the types, both physically and mentally. Proficient in all games and
athletic sports, where skill and dexterity rather than physical strength are
needed. Possessing as he does good powers of expression, he will be quite at
home in debate or argument, and aided by his quick intuition he comes out ahead
on his side of the question.
He is keen on scientific
study and a born mathematician. In the medical profession he is generally
successful, especially so if the Mount is marked by three vertical lines, with
a well developed Mount of Jupiter to lend strong ambition as a driving force to
his natural energy, scientific aptitudes and keenness.
In the practice of the
law, given a long pointed first phalanx to the finger and short nails, he will
make his mark as a Barrister. He is also a close student of the occult
sciences, and in the ranks of those who are interested in the occult, you will
find Mercurials. If a badly marked Mount, with crooked finger, is shown, you
will find not only the untrue clairvoyant, but the Palmist who will tell you
not only your own name but the names of your friends. As a matter of experience
and fact, those who thus glibly under take the impossible are specimens of the
bad type of Mercurial.
Mercurials are keen in
business and shrewd, are excellent actors and mimics, and on the good side they
are not vicious, though generally keen and shrewd. They are fond of children and
like having them around them, so long as they do not interfere with their other
employments. They are versatile and often try a variety of occupations, and are
apt to be envious of the success of others. As a rule they marry early and are
fond of home life.
The type is a healthy one
though somewhat bilious and of a decidedly nervous temperament; stomach
trouble, dyspepsia and similar troubles may affect him. This bilious trend of
the type produces a class who, by their practices, are more deserving of being
put into prison than many already there-the demarcation line between business
shrewdness and actual dishonesty is easily passed, and once over the boundary
their customers are cheated wholesale. These unscrupulous traders may possess
nice looking hands, but close observation will disclose the crooked finger of
Mercury, while an inspection of their
hands would reveal crossbars on the Mount, or a grille with narrow
quadrangles. Such an inspection will not be easy, as instinctively they hide
their hands, or wash them with invisible soap-there is nothing open handed
about them. They are dishonest, no matter in what state of life they may move.
The crooked finger, and grilled or cross barred Mount, marks them as native to
continued temptation to dishonesty.
The actually criminal
Mercurial may be small in stature, with shiftless restless eyes, but he or she
will be marked out by the crooked, gnarled fingers, twisted, and bent towards
the palm, a grilled Mount, a defective or absent Heart Line, high stiff
thumb-amongst such, you have the criminal purer and simple.
Thus in dealing with a
Mercurial you must grade him and note what the underlying forces are. The whole
of the hand will tell you this; the rules must be carefully applied and the
influence of the other Mounts must be calculated. Thus, a well developed Mount
of Saturn will help, but as a rule the Mount of Mercury is not often found in
combination with other Mounts. The absence of the Mount would indicate
incapacity for either commercial or scientific undertakings in dealing with
this type, the finger must be considered.
Strongly
Mercurial- Note which phalanx is longest, for it is with this
type that the three Worlds of Palmistry are most strongly evidenced. The first
phalanx long gives great powers of expression, even to eloquence and
orator-especially is this so if the finger has a pointed tip (fig 9). The
second phalanx being longest, the scientific side of the type will be most
marked, and law, medicine or science is indicated. Given the third phalanx the
longest, then commerce will be the occupation, and the business man or merchant
is shown. The tips must be noted and the respective qualities of the class to
which it belongs must be applied.
The best marking on the
Mount, either singly or in combination, are the single vertical line, star, square,
triangle, or trident. On the other hand, the grille, island, cross, dot or
crossbars show the bad qualities of the Mount, either as to health or
character, which you can determine by the nails.
