The Mount of Saturn
The Mount of mercury betokens great mental acuteness, an alacrity of wit; a love of change, novelty, and adventure; and a flair for science and critical thought. This is the mount of salesmen, doctors, actors, scientists, lawyers, and, unfortunately, con men and grifters. Their dexterity of wit and staggering resilience belie their great talent in eloquence and tact, and thus denotes an individual capable of great acts of diplomacy. And unlike the idealistic Mount of Jupiter, the introspective mount of Saturn and the artistic and effervescent mount of the Sun, the mount of Mercury signifies the practical application of one's intuitive abilities.
If it be overdeveloped, the bearer will want of morality and instead implement their blessings for perfidious means.
They will abuse their verbal dexterity and wield their unctuous nature for selfish gains, as are evident in a swindler or a charlatan.(90) The individual may also be rife with the vices of alchohol and drugs, though this should be collaborated with the mount of Venus.(107) If coupled with short fingers, the bearer will suffer fits of impulsiveness and bitter temper.
If underdeveloped, the mounts denote a dullard lacking both
enthusiasm and charisma. Powers of communication are clumsy and
inelegant, and talent for business, science, and literature is poor.(107-8) If the mount be completely lacking, the individual possesses no sense of humor.(155)
Marks:
- Horizontal lines weaken the benificent qualities of the mount. The bearer of such lines will experience anxiety, uncertainty, and an inability to cope with difficult situations.(109)
- Vertical lines strengthen the mount, though too many can signify a dissipation of talent into ventures too numerous for the bearer to manage. Many sources list these lines as signifying great talent in the field of medicine.
- A grille emphasizes the malevolent powers of the mount; thus such a marking gives insight to the bearer's dishonesty and instability. Comte C. de Saint-Germain goes further to declare the grille an omen of death due to a swindle that has backfired.(107)
- A cross is a poor sign, denoting dishonesty and unscrupulousness. At the very least, it denotes an individual who unconsiously manipulates others.(109)
- A star portends a great and sudden flourish in business, law, or science. Whether this talent is to any avail, however, remains in question.(173)
- A square will protect the bearer from pecuniary misfortunes.(107)
- A spot denotes a failure in business.(105)
- No note of the meaning of a circle could be found in the author's texts, save for one dire prediction: the bearer of this mark will die a death by poisoning.(107)
- A triangle brings its owner great intellectual talent, much in the order of a star, but to less of an extent. It will not merit the fame that the star may provide, but it does not carry with it a promise of calamity as well. Those who bear a triangle as opposed to a star are thrice blessed.
