Frequently asked questions
Where is the Mercury Mount?
Below the little finger.
What does a raised Mercury Mount show?
In tradition a raised Mercury Mount points to more of that mount's qualities and a flat one to fewer. It is only a hint — read it together with the whole hand.
Does one mount decide anything?
No. Palmistry is a way of reflecting, not a guarantee. Do not decide anything from a single mark or mount.
