Also called: Third finger · Finger of Apollo · Surya finger · Sun finger

Where on the hand: The third finger, rising above the Mount of Apollo, between Saturn and Mercury.

What it looks like: Ideally equal in length to the index finger, both reaching to about the middle of Saturn's nail phalange.

Apollo governs creativity, art, fame, glory, publicity, beauty, risk and self-expression. A long, well-formed ring finger gives charisma, performance and appetite for risk; taken to excess it becomes vanity, gambling and reckless spending.

Western reading: Cheiro treats a long Apollo as a hunger for public recognition, and warns of vanity when it nears Saturn's length.
