The Thumb, the Arbiter
This very special finger is not associated with any planet. The Romans called it “Pollex,” the powerful one. Not linked to any planet, the thumb symbolizes “the eye of reflection.” A true vital force, it structures the individual, teaching them to act with consistency. The thumb is free to move in the opposite direction to the other fingers. It tests our will to accomplish what is written on our palm.
The little thumb is governed by the heart. It demonstrates tolerance and sees with the eye of the moment. Easily influenced and subject to his moods, he can swing from enthusiasm to discouragement.
The big thumb is governed by the head. He is ambitious, relying on his ideas to move forward. He is capable of working hard to succeed. His love of freedom motivates him to launch his own business.
A thumb that is slightly away from the index finger reveals a strong need for independence. The closer it is to the index finger, the more cautiously the mind acts.
The index finger, ruled by Jupiter, indicates the social self
. The energy of the index finger is based on awareness of the outside world. It reveals each person’s inclination to fulfill their obligations. Under the influence of Jupiter, the planet of expansion, the index finger is held high, with the ambition to hold a high position. The index finger shows the way and demands silence.
