THE FINGERS--LENGTH TO ONE ANOTHER THE SMOOTH AND THE KNOTTY The First Finger is called the Finger of Jupiter.

The Finger of Saturn when long gives prudence, love of solitude and a reserved, studious disposition.

When short it denotes frivolity and general lack of seriousness in all things.
The Finger of the Sun when long gives love of the beautiful, desire for celebrity and fame, but when excessively long, the tendency inclines more toward notoriety, risk in speculation, the love of money and gambling.
When short it denotes a dislike of all these things.
The Finger of Mercury when long gives mental power, grasp of languages, and power of expression, especially in speech.

When short it denotes difficulty in speaking, and in the expression of thoughts.

When crooked, with an irregular Head Line, it is an evil sign of the Mentality.
