  12. Identify which mount is most dominant. The characteristics of this mount will be dominant in the person's personality.
    • If there are multiple dominant mounts, the palm is considered "lucky" and indicates drive, ambition and confidence.
    • If no dominant mounts are visible, this indicates a lack of self confidence.
  13. Locate the central apex of each mount at the base of the fingers. This apex is triangular skin ridge similar to a fingerprint.
    • An apex located directly under the middle of the finger is a sign that this one is the most important in the hand.
    • If there are multiple central apexes, each one is of equal importance.

Tips

  • Don't try to adjust your hand to select what outcome you want. This shows little self-respect.
  • Keep it lighthearted and understand that you control your own destiny and the reading of palms should not determine the full potential of any outcome.
