From the mount of Mercury it indicates a changeable mood and in constant nature; from the mount of Mars, it indicates the influence of an enemy spoiling the opportunities: if this line does not quite cut the line of Fortune the bad influence can be overcome. From the mount of Moon, success in connection with nautical things, or in travelling may be expected.
