Types of Hands

Earth

People with an earth hand have square palms with short fingers. There are usually few lines and often arches on the fingertips. People with this hand dont like change. They tend to be slow in nature and have a strong affinity to nature and the bush. They are emotionally stable and make the best workers. Interesting is the fact that you often find successful artists and photographers with earth hands. Most people with trade jobs such as a carpenter have earth hands.



Air

The air hand is gentle looking and belongs to those who can be very sensitive and idealistic. If the hand is well padded, they are in touch with the realities of life, and have strong, philosophic natures. But if the hand is thin measuring from the palm side to the back of the hand, they adapt dreamy natures, and have problems accomplishing much.



Fire

The fire hand (spatula shaped) which is either narrower at the top of the hand near the finger, or the bottom near the wrist, and widens at the opposite portion, belongs to the inventive person.They are active, excitable and emotional. They like to be in charge and control other people. There is always a large number of strong lines on the hands and usually whorl fingerprints. Fire handed people tend to have a lot of injuries and accidents.



Water

Those with water (conic) type hands, which are tapering and well-padded, have artistic natures. They may not necessarily be endowed with artistic abilities themselves, although some are, but they are intuitive and appreciate the artistic side of life, whether they be carpenters or pilots. For people with this hand emotions are more important than reason. Actresses and models often have this hand.
