The Mount of Venus is the large, fleshy mound at the base of the thumb, enclosed by the sweep of the Life Line. Named for the goddess of love, it is the seat of passion, sensuality, vitality, and the capacity for warmth and pleasure. Its size and firmness reveal how strongly the currents of love and life force run in you.
Find the Mount of Venus as the raised, fleshy area at the base of the thumb, on the palm side, bounded by the curve of the Life Line. Feel its size and firmness: a well-developed Venus is full and springy to the touch. It occupies the lower thumb-side quarter of the palm, the warmest and most cushioned region of the hand.
The Mount of Venus governs love, passion, sensuality, and physical vitality. A full, firm mount indicates warmth, affection, a strong love of life, and healthy sensual and emotional energy — a person who loves deeply and enjoys the pleasures of living. A flat or underdeveloped mount suggests a cooler, more reserved temperament, with less emphasis on physical passion. An overly large, soft mount can point to indulgence or an excess of appetite. It is the barometer of your capacity for love and joy.
Warm, affectionate, passionate, and full of vitality — a deep love of life and healthy sensual energy.
A cooler, more reserved nature with less emphasis on physical passion and sensual pleasure.
Strong appetites and sensuality, sometimes tending toward indulgence or a life ruled by pleasure.
Disciplined vitality — passion balanced by strength of character and self-possession.
An intense, emotionally active nature; many attachments and a heart easily stirred.
Read the Mount of Venus as the measure of your warmth, passion, and love of life. A full, firm mount is a gift — let yourself enjoy the pleasures and affections it inclines you toward, while keeping them in healthy balance. A flatter mount invites you to nurture your capacity for warmth and physical joy. The mount reminds you that vitality and love are not distractions from a meaningful life but part of its very substance.
