Mount of Venus — vitality / affection

Planetary palm mount (schematic inset)

Chiromantic hand-reading traditions name mounts as regions of the palm associated with planetary qualities. This point is deliberately placed in a lower-body schematic inset because a palm is not located on the body silhouette; its x/y coordinates are diagram anchors, not anatomical locations.
