A first look at the lesson
A finger that is long or strong for the hand strengthens its graha's qualities; a short or weak one tempers them.
The thumb is read on its own. Its top section shows will, the middle section logic, and the base, the mount of Venus, love and vitality. A strong, firm thumb shows a determined person.
