The Mount of Apollo

Situated at the base of the ring finger, the Mount of Apollo reflects the creative, artistic side of the individual.  A well-defined Mount has balanced shape and volume when compared to the other Mounts, which are best viewed when the hand is slightly bent to reduce the stress on the surface profile.  Softening the hand is generally helpful in palmistry as it allows even subtle symbols to become more pronounced, ensuring that the reader is working with a comprehensive vision when counseling the client. 
The mythical son of Zeus, Apollo is the Greek and Roman god of light, truth, healing and the arts.  His ability to bring plague or disease was equally balanced by his healing powers.  He is renowned for sexual prowess, having entertained a prolific stable of male and female lovers. 

In characterizing the value of the development of the Mount, consider whether it is more, less, or equally developed when related to its counterparts.  While normal development (a Mount that is of roughly equal fullness and firmness as the other Mounts) indicates artistic ability and a kind, generous nature, an underdeveloped Apollo Mount represents a lack of focus and direction in life as well as a complete disinterest in art and social refinement.  An overly-developed Mount warns the palmist that the seeker is prone to extravagance and loves to be the center of attention … the entertainer. 

Let’s take a look at how minor lines and other factors may influence the properties of the Apollo Mount: 
A star on the Mount of Apollo indicates particular fame and fortune as a result of the seeker’s creative or artistic talent. 
A square on the Mount can be read two ways:  either they indicate the individual’s ability to protect him or herself to achieve their full potential or their tendency to feel trapped by circumstances beyond their control, which prevents their ability to achieve their goals.
