Reading the fingers

A line may show where pressure sits. The fingers are read for how that pressure comes out: in speech, taste, ambition or silence.

Thumb
Will, appetite and how you bargain with your own body.
Index
Dignity, ambition, the urge to teach, and where you stand morally.
Middle
Duty, patience, fear and the long road.
Ring
Taste, beauty, risk and the wish to be seen.
Little
Speech, trade, medicine, secrecy and charm.
