Also called: Ego loop · Loop of style · Loop of vanity · Loop of self-worth

Where on the hand: On the Mount of Apollo itself, at the base of the ring finger, rather than in a finger gap; some sources place it diagonally between the Apollo and Mercury mounts.

What it looks like: A loop of ridges lying within the pad of the Apollo mount, often entering from the side rather than from above.

Read as a strong investment in self-image: good taste, care over appearance and surroundings, and a sense of personal worth that is genuine but easily wounded. The same sources warn that criticism is taken hard and that the person may be egotistical, or simply too sensitive to be told anything.
