Rings, Palmistry, & Relationships
In the study of Palmistry, rings symbolically accent areas of our lives that are important to us or that we are working on. In interpreting rings, it is also important to determine our primary hand dominance. If you are right-handed, then right is dominant and the left is non-dominant (and vise-versa if you are left-handed). With ambidexterity, I usually go with the hand the person normally writes with. The dominant hand reflects conscious awareness and the non-dominant unconscious or subconscious motivation. If one wears four or more rings, it suggests that you like to deal with a number of situations at the same time and keep a lot of plates spinning on a lot of sticks. If you have no rings on, it infers that regardless of your relationship status, you do not want to feel trapped or tied down, and wish to feel free. Especially for women who are under 25, telegraphing a need for freedom can attract individuals who either are happy not to be trapped, or are seriously controlling partners. As people get older and project a need for freedom (no rings) they can attract potential partners who are unavailable, i.e. married, not yet divorced, travel a lot, live somewhere else, are commitment-phobic, or they attract two people at the same time and not be able to decide on one. In other words, if we are younger we can get what we are subconsciously afraid of, or as we get older we can get what we are consciously asking for.
If we wear a ring on the dominant ring finger but not the non-dominant, we are projecting that we want to be attracting people, but are fearing being committed (“come here but don’t get too close”). Conversely, a ring on the non-dominant ring finger but not on the dominant indicates an overt projection of independence with a deeper need for commitment (“I don’t need anybody, but where is everybody”). Rings on both ring fingers suggest a need to be connected and committed, both socially and deeply. However, it may also indicate the person is so busy staying connected that they never get timeout and time for themselves. Rings on the fingers but not the ring fingers reflect that the person is dealing with other areas but is not wanting to feel trapped specifically in relationships. A ring on the index finger suggests the person has a fear of being out of control. A middle finger ring reflects that the wearer is trying to be more balanced, grounded, or stable. A little finger or “pinkie’ ring indicates that the person is working on healing issues related to their same-gender parent. Regardless of how strong an individual’s personality is, thumb rings suggest that the wearer has fears that they cannot claim their space or say “no”, or can be dominated by certain individuals in their lives. As an example, slaves in ancient Rome wore thumb rings.
