THE MOUNT OF THE SUN AND ITS MEANING  
The Mount of the Sun is found under the base of the third finger. To this Mount the Greeks also gave the name of Mount of Apollo (Plate VI., Part II.).
 
When large or well developed it indicates glory, publicity, a desire to shine before one's fellows. It is always considered a good Mount to have large.
 
It also indicates enthusiasm for the beautiful in all things, whether one follows an artistic calling or not.

Although truthful and naturally honest they often get terribly deceived, and the danger is with such people that towards the sunset of their lives, the glorious Sun that has shone, as it were, through them gets darkened by the deceit and treachery of others and sets in clouds, or gets hidden before the ending of life's pathway comes to view.
 
Many of these people who have cheered others, who have brought their grand sunshine of good into the hearts of others, cannot cheer themselves when the twilight comes, and so they often fall victims to gloom and melancholy, and many commit suicide.
