The Mars Mounts

There are two Mars Mounts, one on each side of the palm. They’re known as inner and outer Mars.

Inner Mars lies just below the base of the thumb, inside the Life line. If the hand is folded slightly you will be able to determine the exact area from the fold of flesh created when the thumb is moved.

The degree of firmness in this area indicates the amount of aggression the individual has. It shows whether the person will stand up for themselves, or run away and hide. It relates to physical courage.

If the inner of the Mars Mounts is overdeveloped, the person will be highly aggressive and argumentative.

Conversely, if it is underdeveloped, the person will find it very hard to stick up for him or herself.

Directly across the palm from Inner Mars Mounts is the Mount of Outer Mars. This is generally between the Head and Heart Lines. Sometimes, the Head Line may finish on this mount, but the Heart line is always outside.

Outer Mars governs self-control and the ability to hang on long after lesser people would have given up. Consequently, this mount is always strong on people who have survived severe adversity. It also relates to moral courage.

If either of the Mounts of Mars is strong, the person will be generous and prepared to stand up and defend their friends. They will also have great energy and staying power.

Strong Mars Mounts are a wonderful asset to people engaged in competitive sports as it gives them great energy, determination, persistence and aggression.

The area between the two Mounts of Mars is called the Plain of Mars. This area should be firm to the touch. If the two mounts of Mars are well-developed, it may appear to be sunken or hollow.

You can test the firmness by pressing your thumb on the plain with your fingers supporting the back of the hand. As the Heart, Head and Destiny Lines all cross this area, it’s important that it’s strong. A person with a strong Plain of Mars makes use of the qualities these lines represent.

If the Plain of mars is weak or spongy to the touch, the person will make mistakes in choosing fiends, and will allow him or herself to be influenced by them, even while knowing their suggestions are wrong.

You will find this in many teenagers hands, but fortunately, with maturity this area usually firms up.
