Palmistry, or the study of people ‘s  hands, is a fascinating art. At the same time, how people place and arrange rings on their fingers provides subtle clues about their personality and preferences. Rings can be used to represent family affiliations, cultural references, and even allegiances. People also use rings on a particular finger to emit a certain kind of energy .

Below explains the meaning behind each finger

The Thumb

The thumb is represented by the Roman God Neptune and symbolizes character. An example of this is a straight thumb which indicates an upright character, whereas  a crooked thumb may send a negative message . Because Neptune  was the god of water, wearing a ring on this finger may signify change or a quick moving and transient personality-which is associated with creative people. Furthermore , the thumb is separated from the rest of the fingers, which may show some form of alienation.

The Index Finger

The index finger represents the roman god Jupiter, and people of high rank, such as kings and dignitaries, who would wear a ring on the finger. It symbolizes authority and power, as Jupiter was the king of the gods. People who wear a ring on their index finger are proud of their leadership and are unapologetic. Psalmitry also says that these people are adaptive in most situations and can take charge – but also may anger people easily. A ring on the index finger shows a high level of self-esteem and confidence, along with great leadership.

The Middle Finger

Saturn is the Roman god that represents the middle finger and is associated with identity and balance . Because Saturn was the father of Jupiter, the middle finger is associated with wisdom as well as our roles and responsibilities in life. It is known as the finger with the most strength and balance, as the midpoint of the hand. A person wearing this ring is known to honor values and responsibilities. It also indicates a serious outlook on life, having a strong sense of morals, and can distinguish right from wrong.

The pinky Finger

The pinky finger is associated with both Mercury and intelligence. It is also where family crests are usually worn. While there are connections between mafia leaders and pinky finger rings, there isn’t enough evidence to prove that they are related. The pinky finger can also have two meanings.

Worn on the active hand, the wearer is known to have great negotiating skills as well as the ability to express yourself.

If worn on the passive hand, the wearer is known to have great listening skills and strong intuition.
