Mount of Saturn
The Mount of Saturn is the pad at the base of the middle finger. Palmists link it with responsibility, wisdom, patience and a serious, studious mind. It is often the flattest mount, which is quite normal.
Also known as: saturn mount, shani parvat
Saturn, Shani in Jyotish, is the planet of time, discipline and karma. Its mount, Shani parvat, lies beneath the middle finger, the balancing finger at the centre of the hand, and is read for seriousness, prudence, a love of study and the ability to work patiently alone.
A moderately developed mount suggests a responsible, thoughtful person, good at research, numbers, the land or anything that rewards patience. A flat mount, the most common, suggests a lighter, more sociable outlook. An overdeveloped one can lean towards gloom or too much solitude.
The fate line usually runs up to this mount, which is why it is also called the line of Saturn. Palmists read the two together to understand how a person’s working life takes shape.
Because Saturn has a stern reputation in India, a strong Saturn mount can sound worrying. It is not. It describes depth, endurance and wisdom earned over time, qualities that grow more valuable with age.
