Take a look at the outer edge of your foot.
Do you notice a small protrusion there — a little nub just beyond your pinky toe? Something that almost looks like it's reaching out a little further than the rest?
If so, we want you to know: that's not a flaw. That's not something to hide in shoes or dismiss at a podiatrist's appointment. In toe reading, that little protrusion — what we call the "sixth toe" — is one of the most fascinating and affirming things we get to point out in a reading.
Because what it says about you is extraordinary.
Let's be clear — we're not talking about an actual extra toe (though that does exist and is equally fascinating!). What we're referring to is a visible protrusion on the outer edge of the foot, just beyond the little toe, that mimics the shape of an additional digit.
It's relatively rare. And in our experience, the people who have it often already sense — even before a reading — that they see the world differently than most people around them.
They're right. Their body has been confirming it all along.
In toe reading, the sixth toe is a marker of what we call maverick energy. These are the people who don't just think outside the box — they often can't even find the box. They're wired for big picture thinking, global perspective, and a kind of forward-seeing that can feel both like a gift and, at times, a burden.
If you have this feature, you likely recognize yourself in some of these:
You've always felt slightly ahead of your time. Ideas come to you that others won't catch up to for years. You think in systems and connections — seeing how everything links to everything else in ways that can be hard to explain to people who don't think the same way.
You feel called to something larger than yourself. Not in an ego-driven way — in a soul-driven way. There's a pull toward contribution, toward impact, toward leaving things better than you found them.
You've probably been told you're "too much" or "too big" at some point. The maverick spirit doesn't always fit neatly into existing structures — and that friction is real.
We see this feature frequently on entrepreneurs, changemakers, healers, and innovators — people who are here to do something that hasn't quite been done before.
Here's what we most want you to hear if you have this feature: you weren't made to fit in. You were made to lead from vision, curiosity, and courage.
That might sound simple. But for so many people with this soul signature, the journey has involved a long process of learning to trust that. Of unlearning the idea that being different is a problem to solve rather than a purpose to live.
The sixth toe is a quiet, physical reminder that your body knew your assignment before your mind caught up.
Christina often says in readings: the body doesn't lie. It holds the truth of who we are — our gifts, our patterns, our potential — even when we've lost sight of it ourselves. The sixth toe is one of the clearest examples of that we've ever encountered.
Whether you have this feature yourself or you're curious about it for someone you love, here are some questions worth sitting with:
Where in your life have you been dimming your vision to make others more comfortable? Where are you being called to trust your forward-thinking — even when the path isn't fully visible yet? And what would it look like to fully own the maverick in you, not as something to manage, but as something to celebrate?
You can explore more about what the right little toe and left little toe reveal about your relationship with trust and prosperity — because the sixth toe lives in that same energetic neighborhood.

In Part 2, we explore what it means when you have both the sixth toe and a wide space between your first and second toes — and why that combination is one of the most powerful leadership indicators we see.
