The Mount of Mercury is located just below the little finger, as shown.
This mount is strongly associated with communication skills, mental sharpness, business acumen, shrewdness, and analytical abilities in fields such as accounting, statistics, and medicine. It reflects a person’s ability to persuade, negotiate, and adapt quickly to different situations.
In ancient Greek mythology, the god Hermes, also known as Mercury in Roman mythology, was renowned for his cunning, eloquence, and diplomatic nature.
God Hermes
His exceptional wit, agility, and quick thinking made him the ideal messenger of the gods, particularly in matters of trade, commerce, and negotiation. He played a crucial role in facilitating communication ensuring that messages were delivered with precision and speed.
Hermes was often depicted wearing a winged hat and magical sandals, which granted him the ability to travel freely and swiftly between the realms of the divine and the mortal. His role, extended beyond communication, as he was also considered the patron of travelers, merchants, and even tricksters.
God of Medicine
On the other hand, Asclepius was revered as the Greek god of medicine and healing. He inherited his knowledge of medicine from his father, Apollo, the god of healing, and was further trained by his mentor Chiron, known for his mastery of medicinal arts.
Asclepius became so proficient in the healing arts that he was believed to have developed the ability to restore life to the dead, a skill that ultimately led to his divine recognition.
Caduceus vs Rod of Asclepius
There is a striking resemblance between the staff of Hermes, known as the Caduceus (left image), and the Rod of Asclepius (right image).
The Caduceus features a winged staff with two snakes entwined around it. In the early 19th century this symbol was mistakenly adopted by some medical organizations, particularly in the United States as a medical symbol.
In contrast, the Rod of Asclepius is the authentic symbol of medicine and healing. It consists of a single serpent wrapped around a staff, representing the ancient Greek belief in the healing power of snakes. The serpent’s ability to shed its skin symbolized renewal, fertility, and the cycle of life, making it a fitting emblem for medicine and recovery.
Interestingly, the qualities associated with both Hermes and Asclepius such as communication, business acumen, vitality, healing abilities, and medical knowledge closely align with the attributes of the Mount of Mercury in palmistry.
All these traits are closely akin to a healer.

Medical Stigmata lines in Palmistry
If four or more distinct vertical lines appear on the Mount of Mercury, just below the little finger, it signifies a natural gift for healing.
These lines are commonly found on the hands of doctors, nurses, psychotherapists, and individuals engaged in healing or counseling professions. Such people possess a deep sense of empathy, allowing them to connect with others’ emotions and provide comfort, making those around them feel at ease.
No surprise, these markings are often referred to as healing stigmata or medical stigmata in palmistry.
However, these lines can also appear on individuals who are not professionally involved in healing yet have an innate ability to recover from emotional distress, depression, or personal hardships. This also suggests a latent aptitude for medicine and holistic healing.
On the hands of good healers, you will always find a well-developed mount of Venus and a curved heart line. These features indicate a compassionate nature, an affectionate disposition, and the ability to radiate positive energy, further reinforcing their natural inclination to nurture and heal.
Multiple lines on a mount of mercury
If medical stigmata are clearly present on both hands, it signifies a doctor with a remarkable healing touch; someone who possesses an innate ability to diagnose accurately and create a comforting presence.
Sometimes, a small horizontal line may cross these vertical lines. When this occurs, these lines are known as the Good Samaritan lines. This marking suggests a deep sense of altruism and a genuine desire to help others. However, in palmistry, the presence of Samaritan lines alone does not necessarily indicate success in the medical field.
One must also assess the condition of the Mount of Mercury, the color of the hands, the length of the mercury finger, and other significant signs on his or her hands. These factors help ascertain whether the person has the potential to assist others in overcoming psychological disorders, neuromuscular issues, and stress-related ailments.
Individuals with medical stigmata may also be drawn to alternative medicine and herbal remedies. In some cases, they may have considered pursuing a medical career at some point in their lives.
