The Mount of Mars has two positions on your palm. The 1st is found just under the upper part of the Life Line. The 2nd is found between the Head Line and the Heart Line. The 1st mount relates to your physical nature. The 2nd relates to your mental nature. For the 1st mount, a large size is a Positive sign. It matters most if you were born between 21st March and 21st April, and a little into 28th April. This part of the year in the Zodiac is called the House of Mars (Positive). The 2nd mount is called Negative. It matters most if you were born between 21st October and 21st November, and a little into 28th November. This part of the year in the Zodiac is called the House of Mars (Negative). The two mounts differ greatly in position and effect. Both are linked to your health and how prone you are to illness.

The 1st Mount of Mars is at the start of the Life Line. If you were born in the House of Mars, meaning between 21st March and 21st April, and a little into 28th April, you have a strong, aggressive nature. This shows up clearly in everything you do, whether you are a soldier, a businessperson, or a leader in any field. You are a natural fighter in every part of life. You find it hard to stay out of things. You like to lead, whatever work you do. Even with average intelligence, you often become the boss of a business or organisation. You usually take on big responsibilities. You have strong determination and stick firmly to your principles. You do not like criticism. You are firm and do not change your opinions easily. You rarely take anyone’s advice. You prefer to do things your own way, and you believe your way is the only way to succeed. You may depend on a close friend who tries to talk you out of your plans. The only way to guide or manage you is through patience, kindness, tact, or affection. If someone tries to force or fight you, you may react with sudden anger. Your temper flares quickly and can be dangerous, but it also fades away fast.

Once you calm down, you feel bad about your outburst and the unkind things you said. In general, you are generous and good-natured, but you can also be unpredictable and act without thinking. Your biggest fault is a lack of self-control, which makes you reckless. If your Head Line is not good, you rush carelessly into all kinds of trouble and danger. You often waste your chances and your great leadership skills through confusion. You may not be happy in love or family life. You rarely meet someone who truly understands you. If you are lucky enough to avoid this problem yourself, it may instead affect your children. Your health may not be very good. You tend to get fevers and blood-related illnesses, especially when you are young.

When you are young, you may suffer from severe headaches, epilepsy, tooth decay, or brain problems. When you are older, you are at high risk of stroke, dizziness, headaches, and brain disease, especially if your Head Line becomes frayed or broken into small chain-like sections. Because of this, you should learn calm self-control. Most importantly, you should avoid spirits, wine, and all stimulants, since you tend to be drawn to these drinks. Doing this will help you stay a bit healthier. You should try to sleep more than most people. You should also exercise more in the open air. Most importantly, you must control your pride and your temper. If you do this, you can rise to any height in life, and you may be able to do great things for the good of others.

The 2nd Mount of Mars sits between the Heart Line and the Head Line. It matters most if you were born between 21st October and 21st November, and a little into 28th November. This time is known as the House of Mars Negative, or Mental, in the Zodiac. It is the opposite of the 1st Mount of Mars in nature, attitude towards people, and the qualities it gives. The 2nd Mount of Mars gives mental courage rather than physical courage. If you have this mount, you dislike violent scenes and bloodshed. You prefer to fight with words and ideas. In arguments or debates, you fight until the end. You are more determined than people with the 1st Mount of Mars. You are more stubborn in your opinions, though you may not show it. You often manage to get others to agree with you. You are a natural organiser, and the role of organiser suits you better than that of leader.

You have strong mental power. You may be connected to military activities. You need to plan strategy and tactics carefully for any financial scheme or storage of weapons, or things may go wrong. If this mount is not well developed, you may become cunning and scheme in every way to get what you want. You may let nothing stop you from reaching your goal, and you could become a very disloyal and dangerous enemy. You can also act like a damper on other people’s enthusiasm. You have a mysterious, magnetic influence that you naturally use when dealing with others. This makes you a natural mind-reader and hypnotist. You are strongly drawn to studying the supernatural. When this quality is well developed, you use these unusual gifts for the good of humanity, especially if you study science or medicine.

You are well suited to these kinds of work. You are usually versatile and talented, which makes it hard to place you in just one career. If your Head Line is good, there is no kind of mental work you cannot succeed at. Interestingly, you rarely succeed at the 1st career you actually trained for. Over your life, you tend to change careers as many times as a cat is said to have lives. Your main fault is that you are easily shaped by your surroundings and by the people you spend time with. If you spend time with people of bad character, you tend to pick up their traits.

You may even try to outdo them. But when you spend time with good people, you truly improve because of them. Your sign in the Zodiac is ancient. At its lower level, it is shown by the scorpion curling its tail to sting, and at its higher level, by the eagle’s head pointing up towards the sky. This symbol captures the two sides of your nature. At your lower level, nothing is more harmful or nasty, even to the point of hurting and destroying yourself. At your higher level, nothing has such a spiritual quality: like the eagle, you can rise to great heights and be free from earthly concerns.

Especially when you are young, you should be raised carefully among good people. You should be warned to control your desires. You should be kept away from bad people and harmful books. As for your health, you tend to fall ill when young, but usually suffer from low energy after middle age. Whether you are a man or a woman, you are likely to have problems with your reproductive organs, especially when young. You also tend to suffer from bladder or kidney problems. When you get older, you may have stomach and digestion problems. So you are advised to be careful about your health throughout your life, and to eat and drink in moderation.

Palmistry is a traditional art of interpretation. Read both hands together – the left shows inborn tendencies, the right what you have made of them – and treat any single sign as one part of the whole picture, not a fixed prediction.
