Also called: Ring of the Sun

Where on the hand: A circle at the base of the ring finger surrounding the entire Mount of Apollo. It "starts between ring and middle fingers and bends to ring and little fingers."

What it looks like: An arc closing off the Apollo pad, running from one finger web to the next around the ring finger's base.

Majority view: negative and rare. It obstructs and frustrates natural optimism and reaction, limits appreciation of beautiful things, and represses creativity — the Apollo mount's gifts are hemmed in and cannot express. Sources agree it is not permanent.

Read with care: The two schools flatly contradict each other — the majority read this ring as repressed creativity and rare, a modern minority read it as inspiration and the commonest ring. The research instructs readers to state the disagreement rather than choose. RECONCILED. The Western reading of the Ring of Saturn is negative (it blocks the mount: pessimism, morbidity, preoccupation with death). An Indian minority reading takes it as a mark of occult capacity. Both are recorded; they are not the same claim, and the Western one is the majority position. Note also that the 'only the Ring of Solomon is read as positive' rule stated elsewhere has at least three exceptions in this reference.
