If overdeveloped, this can lead to a large degree of morbidity, inner disquiet, unhappiness, miserliness, and misanthropy. Unfortunately, the studious, critical nature of the individual may be over-emphasized and result in pessimism, suspiciousness, and paranoia. If coupled with a full mount of the moon and a sloping line of head, there exists a penchant for suicidal tendencies.

If underdeveloped, The bearer possesses low vitality, little confidence, a low degree of self-control, and is easily influenced. They will tend not to treat matters as seriously as should be necessary. Henry Frith goes as far to declare such a hand the grim token of a "wasted existence."(89)

Markings:

• Vertical lines strenghten the mount, though as was the situation with the Mount of the Sun, more than 3 vertical lines can denote failure in life as a result of an unspecialized career.
• Transverse lines weaken the munificent qualities of the mount, subtracting from the clear drive and concentrative powers typically bestowed by a positive mark.
• The ring of Saturn is a disastrous mark that will betide no end of woe to its bearer. It encircles the finger at the base of the mount, and in doing so, it essentially cuts them off from any benefits that the mount of Saturn may bear. Their attempts toward stability and fruition will continually be thwarted. O, they may possess lofty plans and ideals to effect throughout their life, but their extreme fecklessness and irresponsibility will forever dash these aspirations.
• A grid denotes depression(100) and lucklessness. If collaborating signs are present, this may also importune imprisonment.(174)
• A cross denotes a disaster in business, and occasionally a fatal accident. The latter must only be interpreted as such when collaborated with other lines on the hand (cf. line of head, line of life). It may also denote a sort of melancholy mysticism.(173)
• As always, the star denotes brilliance, but in this case, it is a destructive conflagration. One who possesses a star on their mount of Saturn will meet a terrible death, which will indeed bring them distinction, but from beyond the grave. NB: If this sign exists in conjunction with a deep fateline that furrows deep into the finger of Saturn itself, it portends assassination.(99)
• The square on the mount of Saturn will protect its owner from random fatalities that so frequent life.
• A triangle will bless the bearer with a talent and predeliction for occultism and mysticism.
