CHAPTER XI.
THE MOUNT OF THE MOON AND ITS MEANING The Mount of the Moon, or as it is also called the Mount of Luna, is found on the base of the hand under the end of the Line of Head (Plate VI., Part II.).
This Mount relates to everything that has to do with the imaginative faculties, the emotional artistic temperament, romance, ideality, poetry, change of scenery, travel, and such like.
This Mount may be considered positive when it looks high or well-developed, and also when the subject is found to be born between the dates of June 21st and July 20th, and until July 27th.
People who belong to this positive class are gifted with strong imagination which tinges everything they do or say.

They are intensely romantic, but idealistic in their desires, and have not that passionate or sensual nature that is given by the Mount of Venus on the opposite side of the palm.
As a rule they have the inventive faculties well developed, and succeed in inventions and in all new ideas in whatever careers they may have entered.
Even business people born in this period are remarkable for their originality, and the inventive manner in which they will tackle the most practical affair.
They are, however, inclined to speculate or gamble even with their chances, also in stocks, business or, in fact, anything in which they are engaged.
Although their imagination is large, they often achieve great success and make money in business.

Some great financiers and heads of large organisations have been born in this period and have also had the Mount of Luna very highly developed on their hands.
It has been said "that what one sees in one's dreams one shall gain in reality," but the fact remains that imaginative people have been found among the most successful of all classes.

Imagination may be another name for Inspiration.
People born in this period are seldom hide-bound by any rule of thumb or set convention.

They love what is new in everything, and perhaps for this reason they love travel and change, and generally see the greater part of this planet before they voyage over the last river of all.
Change in every way affects their careers as it also does their lives.
Even the successful members of this period have more ups and downs than almost any other class.
They rarely, however, give in to the blows of Fate.
