Sun, Moon and Rising: the foundation of your birth chart
Choosing the wedding ring is one of the most moving moments of wedding preparations. But once the ring is chosen, a question often comes up: which finger, and which hand, should it go on?
The symbolism of the wedding ring, customs by country, the Chinese legend and etiquette after a divorce: here is everything you need to know.

The wedding ring symbolizes the vow two people make to each other. The Egyptians are said to have chosen the ring: a circle has no beginning and no end, it speaks of eternity. The Romans took up the custom and passed it on to Europe.
Why the left ring finger? According to a beautiful ancient legend, a vein runs from this finger straight to the heart, the vena amoris, the vein of love: wearing the ring there unites two hearts. For the meaning of the other fingers, see the meaning of rings on each finger.

In the United States, the UK and Canada, both the engagement ring and the wedding band are worn on the ring finger of the left hand. Tradition has the wedding band go on first, closest to the heart, with the engagement ring stacked on top.
During the ceremony, the bride may move her engagement ring to her right hand to leave the left free, then put it back above the band.

Customs vary from country to country:
Hence a handy rule of thumb in Turkey: a ring on the right, the person is engaged; a ring on the left, they are married.

In China, the choice of the ring finger is explained with a small gesture. Press your hands together fingertip to fingertip and fold your middle fingers against each other: you can separate your thumbs (your parents), your index fingers (your siblings), your little fingers (your children)… but not your ring fingers.
The ring fingers, which will not part, stand for the couple: those destined to stay together all their lives.

A lot of pain can come from stress, anxiety, frustration or fatigue that you accumulate. But what is the secret to us understanding what our body is feeling? The symbolism of the body or the meaning of ailments are valuable tools for understanding the messages that our body sends us. Find out here how to decipher and understand your pain and the reasons why you are experiencing it.
When the palm of your left-hand itches, you instinctively know that something is up. Whenever you get that tingling feeling, you know that the superstition is about to kick in and that you are being sent a sign from the higher powers. But, in spiritual terms, what is this a sign of? Legend has it that the left hand itching meaning is related to money, but does that imply you’re about to win money or lose money? Susan Taylor reveals the truth about this mystical feeling.
I was often told that when my nose tickled and itched, that someone wanted to kiss me. So, following that logic, why wouldn’t ear whistling and burning have its own meaning too? It is said that having this sensation in your ears is a sign that someone close to us is saying bad things about us, but is that really the case, or is there more to it than that?
Have you ever experienced an episode of your left eye flickering uncontrollably? If so, you are not alone and are no doubt wondering why this part of your eye blinks constantly. Well, that's because there's a spiritual message that your angels want you to uncover. Likewise, if this happens to you, you might immediately think of a medical reason, and you're not wrong to do so. However, blinking for females in astrology is associated with powerful omens, and their intensity of luck depends on the time of day. Find out more about what this means for you.
Moles are way more than just a mark on your skin, they are in fact like stars that appear on our faces and bodies.
