Thumb – Mars finger

Rings and rings on the thumbs, especially men's ones, deserve special attention. The Lord of the Ring on the finger of Mars tends to be an energetic, emotional and expansive person. These are straightforward, stubborn, militant, sometimes hot-tempered and aggressive individuals. Trying to convince them of anything or argue with them is completely useless - they will still stand their ground, even if they later have to regret it. At the same time, they are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses, therefore, putting a ring on their thumb, they seem to intuitively try to curb and pacify their hot temperament. This is a kind of subconscious attempt to find a common language and improve relationships with others, and even with oneself. On the other hand, according to psychologists, a ring on the thumb is a clear sign that at the moment the main goal of a person is self-affirmation by any means and means, and self-affirmation in the sexual sphere comes to the fore. Such statements are not unfounded, because even among the ancient Greeks and Romans the thumb was considered a phallic symbol, which was decorated with iron rings to protect male power.

The thumb ring is also a symbol of lesbianism. The ringed thumb of the right hand indicates a lesbian who has a companion, while the one on the left indicates a free lesbian, open to dating and new relationships. Like this! Therefore, girls who decorate their thumbs with rings, if they are far from lesbian, should be careful - they may be misunderstood.
