The Mount of Venus

The energies of Venus, the Goddess of Love, dwell in the thumb and the associated Mount at its base.  As one might assume, the Mount of Venus reflects the seeker’s sexual passion, social refinement and love of harmony.  It likewise points to the seeker’s joie de vivre, or enthusiasm for life as well as to the potential for selfishness, emotional instability and ill health. 

To observe the Venus Mount observe the fleshy mound that forms the base of the thumb on the lower inner region of the palm.  Slightly cup the palm to remove any stress on the tissue that will tend to flatten out the Mounts, which could sway the reading.  Cupping will also help the other Mounts of the palm to become better defined, which makes the act of comparison easier. 
Compare the volume of the Mount to the other mounts of the hands.  This comparison will help you assess whether the Mount is over or under-developed.  Next, consider whether the Mount is full or flat, wide or narrow, hard or soft.  Take your time to qualify your decision before moving on. 

Next, we’ll summarize the meaning of the particular developments of the Mount: 
Full:  Boundless energy and enthusiasm
Flat:  Delicacy, modesty
Wide:  Warm-hearted, sincere
Narrow:  Introverted, private
Firm:  Strong sexual interest
Soft:  Prone to excitability, instability 

Occasionally the Venus Mount will be marked with a symbol that influences particular behaviors and events of Venus’s love energies.  They include: 
Triangle: Luck in love
Square: Tendency to isolate oneself if others get too close
Star:  The traits in this realm of the personality are magnified
