Finger Tattvas- Ring and Finger Symbolism
If one is right handed, the right hand is considered your active or
giving hand and the left, your passive or receiving hand. If left
handed, this is reversed.
Index finger
Wearing a ring on this finger on the active hand is known to boost
self-esteem, confidence, and great leadership qualities. On the
passive hand, it signifies accepting the leadership of others. If
you lack self-confidence, wear a ring on the index finger of your
active hand.
The best suitable stones to wear for enhancing confidence are
blue topaz, amethyst and lapis lazuli.
Middle finger
The middle finger represents values and responsibilities. A ring
worn on this finger indicates that the wearer takes life seriously
and knows the difference between right and wrong. If worn on the
passive hand, it can indicate that the wearer needs to be seen as
serious and responsible. The best stones to wear on the active
hand for personal grounding and balance are moonstone and rose
quartz.
Ring finger
A ring on this finger on the active hand enhances the ability to
impart creativity to others and bring out the best in them. On the
passive hand - for many people, this is their wedding finger - a
ring brings creativity, which can be used to overcome challenges -
an ideal skill for any marriage!
If single, a gold ring with coloured stones worn on the passive
hand will invite passion.
Pinky
On the active hand, it signifies the wearer to be an exceptional
negotiator with excellent abilities in expressing themselves. It
can also be an indication of sexual availability or curiosity! On the
passive hand, it shows a fantastic listener and strong intuition.
The best stones to help with communication (on the passive
hand) or intuition (on the active hand) are amber, citrine and
moonstone.
Thumb
A ring on the thumb on the active hand is indicative of asserting
your will over others. On the passive hand, you may be easily led
by others. If you need to be more assertive, wear a narrow silver
ring on the active hand.
The best stones to wear to combat gullibility (on the passive
hand) are garnet, ruby, and carnelian.
No rings
If you dislike rings or never wear them, you are a free spirit. You
tend to be impulsive, don’t like to be tied down, and take each
moment as it comes.
More than one ring
You may find that their energies balance or cancel each other
out! Just as what clothes you choose to wear are governed by
your mood, allow your intuition to guide you as to which rings
worn on which fingers will be most helpful to you that day.
A ring on every finger:
People who wear rings on every finger at once may have difficulty
in getting organised or making decisions. They can also be a little
eccentric or enjoy being in the spotlight!
