ONE FINGER, ONE SYMBOL
Did you know that fingers also have a cosmic connection with stars and planets? This is why, depending on the finger on which you wear a ring, it will have one astrological significance or another. Semi-precious stones also gain importance, as their astrological connection can enhance the power they embody.
Little finger
The little finger is associated with Mercury and reflects intuition, intelligence, and persuasion. This finger denotes professional and intellectual status. During the 20th century, only men wore rings on this finger, as they wore their wedding rings or signet rings on it. The stone that enhances it is the moonstone.
Ring finger
Linked to love, creativity, and beauty, it symbolized Apollo's authority in ancient Greece. In Western cultures, this finger is generally used to wear the wedding ring. The perfect stone for this finger is the amethyst.
Major
This finger represents balance and responsibility, and therefore, its ideal semi-precious stone is rose quartz. According to certain cultures: it is the longest finger and is located at the center; a ring placed on this finger can also symbolize power and strength.
Index
This finger is linked to Jupiter and is associated with ambition, self-confidence, and leadership. In some cultures, wearing a gold ring on the index finger of the right hand signifies marriage. In Western cultures, this finger was reserved for aristocrats and the Royal Family; visitors would kneel and kiss the ring as a sign of respect.
Thumb
The thumb, although less frequently associated with astrological meanings, also holds its symbolism in certain traditions. Particularly in those of ancient Rome, the thumb was associated with loyalty and authority. Wearing a ring on the thumb can symbolize self-assertion and commitment to one's own values.
