Mount of Luna (Moon)

The Mount of Luna, or Mount of the Moon, is the pad on the outer edge of the palm above the wrist, opposite the thumb. Palmists link it with imagination, intuition, creativity and a love of travel.

Also known as: luna mount, mount of moon, chandra parvat

The Moon, Chandra in Jyotish, rules the mind and emotions, and its mount, Chandra parvat, lies on the little-finger side of the palm, between the wrist and the head line. It is read for imagination, intuition, sensitivity and the inner, dreaming life.

A full mount suggests a vivid imagination, creative talent and strong intuition, often in writers, artists, musicians and people drawn to the sea or to faraway places. A flat one suggests a practical, literal turn of mind. An overdeveloped one can lean towards daydreaming or restlessness.

A head line that slopes down into Luna is read as an imaginative mind. Short horizontal lines running in from the edge of this mount are traditionally called travel lines.

Luna is not about moodiness. Its gift is receptivity: the ability to sense, imagine and feel your way to ideas that pure logic would miss.
