Remember the childhood game where when you wanted to cut off relations with a friend over a fight, you figuratively cut pinkies off each other?

This shortest of fingers is all about communication. In direct contrast to the thumb, the little finger is about how we relate to the outer world. It represents our public life, our social relations, and how we communicate.

Those facing issues with their marriage are often advised to wear a ring on their pinkie finger. Those wanting to gain success in business and commerce are also recommended to wear a ring on this finger. Those experiencing issues with their sex lives are also allegedly advised to wear rings on their little finger.

Suggested Stones: Amber and Citrine

 Each finger also represents various planets and the influence of the planets on the particular stone or the position in the person’s life. Starting with the little finger, which represents Mercury, the ring finger represents Apollo, the middle finger Saturn, and the index finger Jupiter. Interestingly, there is no fixed planetary indicator for the thumb.

 While these are the indicative reasons why people wear rings on certain fingers, one must also take into account the fact that the hands on which the fingers reside also matter. In general, the left hand is connected to the person’s private life including marriage, family and romantic relations. The right hand is about the person’s external relations. Therefore, for example, a ring on the left pinkie finger – unless specified otherwise – could be said to improve marital or sexual relations. On the other hand (pun intended), one on the right pinkie finger could enhance anindividual’s commercial interests.
