Each finger represents the characteristics of one of the ancient Greek Gods with which we are all familiar. Examine its length in comparison to the other Fingers, and study most carefully the proportionate length of each phalanx or Joint of the Finger.
The first phalanx (that which contains the Finger nail) denotes mental characteristics and intuition, the middle practical, financial and business, while the third indicates the material and earthy qualities of the Sensations, such as ought not to be revealed if they might cause embarrassment to any there present. The length of each phalanx and each Finger overall shows the strength of each Quality represented therein. 
The Index Finger, called Jupiter after the King of the Gods, shows strength of character, the man who is a born leader of men.
The Middle Finger, called Saturn shows a serious, deep thinking person, such as would do well in the Sciences.
The Ring Finger, called Apollo after the Greek Sun God, shows the degree to which one is emotionally stable, it also reveals talents in the Arts.
The Little Finger, called mercury after the Messenger of the Gods, shows a powerful intellect and a skill with words.
The Thumb, standing out on its own, is the strongest of all the digits, and may sometimes remedy such faults or deficiencies as might be revealed by the other Fingers. The first phalanx represents will-power, and the second the reasoning powers, there is no third, except the Mount of Venus, which shows as we have seen such qualities as are not seemly to be possessed in excess, though in moderation this Mount displays those virtues to be desired in a Devoted Wife and Mother.
