The Meaning Of Rings On Each Finger
In my view, from a spiritually viewpoint rings are regarded as powerful signs that are used to offer magnification to the hand’s original powers.
There is something I once read in an old folkore book, if you manipulate the symbols of the hand, then you can manipulate real life realities. The wearing of rings sends a subconscious signal to manipulate the inclined world.
One of the million dollar questions I'm asked when I've spent years doing spiritual work with people's hands and palm reading is if rings mean anything.
- Thumb: the thumb represents the personal will. Rings on your thumb are linked to your confidence and personal strength in today's society. Think of a thumb ring as your dose of self- empowerment in a time when you may be looking for more control over your life and choices. To wear a ring on the thumb in my older booksm, can suggest creative and emotional frustration. If one wears a ring on the middle finger, this will be indicative of their problems in expressing themselves.
- Index Finger: In palmistry, this finger is linked to leadership, ambition, authority and a strong will because the finger of Jupiter is like god of the heavens. Chances are, if you've got the ring on your index finger, you want to have influence and be taken seriously at work, to realize big new dreams and bring those ideas to life. It's a strong choice if your project calls for you to "take the helm" or take your authority seriously. Wearing a ring on the index finger means the enhancement of a person’s ambition, and wearing the ring on the middle finger is a symbol of one’s materialism in Chinese folklore.
- Middle Finger: It rules the middle finger, whose symbolism is all about balance, responsibility, and organization. Rings on your middle finger are thought to bring stability, too. It's a wise finger for choosing a ring if it's to help set up good habits during particularly turbulent or unstable times.
- Ring Finger: This is probably the most normal place to wear a ring, that is, if it's an engagement or wedding band. Many believe the vein that runs closest to the surface of this finger is the closest to the heart. It has been known historically as something that is about self-love, creativity, and of course connection. A ring in relation to getting married suggests love and commitment.
- Pinky Finger or as I call it little finger: The pinky finger is ruled by Mercury and so is associated with creativity, quick thinking, and ingenuity. In the old days, a ring worn on the small finger can be an attraction magnet, drawing admiration and praise to the person wearing the ring and boosting confidence. I also tend to recommend that you try to put the ring on this finger so that it encourages you to open up more and embrace your intuition.
What's important in spiritual traditions is which hand you use as much as which finger. Many people in my mediumship work say your left hand to be receptive to your inner self. There are people who wear rings just to offer themselves the unique layer of emotional security.
Things I need to tell you
If the hand has only one ring then the person is happy and content and is generally a positive omen if the wearer has a gold ring on two fingers this can be negative and implies that the wearer will find difficulty communicating with others in the future. Rings in ancient times use to be related to one's wealth. In this day and age the ring is simply a symbol of decoration on one's hand.
