Mounts (丘)

What is the Mounts (丘)?

The mounts are the fleshy pads across the palm, each named for a planet: Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury, Mars and the Moon. Where the lines point at the 'what' of a grain, the mounts come closer to **how thickly it runs** — a full Venus mount reads as affection and vitality running thick, a flat Moon mount as a tilt toward the concrete over the imagined. Fullness is hard to measure accurately from a photograph, so MYEONG mentions a mount **only when it reads clearly** and stays silent when it does not.
