<\/a><\/h1>\nBefore reading the palm, look at the fingers to see if they\u2019re short or long. This isn\u2019t always easy to gauge when you\u2019re just beginning, but a little practice will enable you to assess the finger length at a glance.<\/p>\n
The fingers are considered long if they can fold back and touch a spot at least seven-eights of the way along the palm. Unfortunately, there are exceptions, as some people have extremely flexible hands while others are very stiff. Also, someone with an extremely oblong palm may have long fingers that only reach halfway down the palm, as the palm itself is very long. With experience you\u2019ll be able to look at someone\u2019s palm and instantly know if the fingers are long or short.<\/p>\n
The problem comes when you\u2019re first learning and find a hand with fingers that seem to be neither long nor short. Fortunately, we can cover that situation as well.<\/p>\n
Long Fingers<\/strong><\/p>\nIf the fingers are long, the person pays attention to detail and you can say:
\n\u201cYou enjoy complex work. You\u2019re patient and enjoy all the fiddly bits \u2013 you like the details in things. Your work must be very consuming and gratifying. If it\u2019s too simple you lose interest very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Short Fingers<\/strong><\/p>\nSomeone with short fingers is almost the opposite. They\u2019ll be more interested in the broad strokes rather than the details and won\u2019t have much patience.<\/p>\n
You could say:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re always busy. Sometimes you may start something new before you\u2019ve finished the last task. You often have several things on the go at the same time. You tend to want everything right now, so patience is not your strong suit. Your impulsiveness has gotten you into trouble in the past. In some ways you are a jack-of-all-trades.\u201d<\/p>\n
Medium Length Fingers<\/strong> – (learn palmistry from home<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\nNaturally, someone with fingers that are neither long nor short will fall into a middle category.<\/p>\n
You might say:<\/p>\n
\u201cAt times you can be very patient. However, at other times you\u2019re inclined to jump first and think later. If something really interests you, you want to get right down to the bottom of it and work it all out. If it\u2019s only a passing interest, you\u2019re more inclined to skim over it and not learn it in much detail.\u201d<\/p>\n
We now have four possibilities to look at:<\/p>\n
1. Square hands with short fingers
\n2. Square hands with long fingers
\n3. Oblong hands with short fingers
\n4. Oblong hands with long fingers<\/p>\n
This is the classification used in Chinese palmistry. It comes from Fred Getting\u2019s monumental book, The Book of the Hand. The four types are named after the four elements of the ancients:<\/p>\n
Fire, Earth, Air and Water. These relate very well to the descriptions of the Fire, Earth, Air and Water signs of astrology, but it does not necessarily mean that a Sagittarian (a Fire sign), would have a Fire hand. You\u2019ll find people with all four types of hands in every sign of the Zodiac.<\/p>\n
The four elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water<\/p>\n
Fire Hands<\/strong><\/p>\nFire is hot, energizing and constantly moving. It can provide gentle heat, but can also burn. Consequently it needs careful handling. A Fire hand is oblong with short fingers. Someone with a hand like this is likely to be emotional, enthusiastic and creative. The short fingers mean a dislike for detail. The long palm adds intuition.<\/p>\n
For someone with a hand like this you might say:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have a great mind, full of wonderful ideas. These ideas excite you. Your enthusiasm may not last for long, but it\u2019s extremely important to you at the time. Your emotions can be a bit hard to handle at times, but they enable you to experience life to the fullest. Details are not your strong point and you tend to prefer the overall picture to the fiddly bits. You are likely to be creative and need to be busy to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earth Hands<\/strong><\/h2>\nEarth is the dry, solid part of our planet. Everything that happens on earth is subject to the natural rhythms of germination, growth, death and decay. Earth is timeless and expresses stability.<\/p>\n
However, below its surface all sorts of changes are constantly occurring. This can lead to earthquakes and other upheavals. The Earth hand is very like the practical hand. It consists of a square palm and short fingers.<\/p>\n
People with this type of hand are reliable, down-to-earth and practical. They enjoy repetitive work and are good with their hands. They enjoy rhythm. They are conservative, reserved and possessive.
\nHowever, like earth itself, they can also react violently if they deem it necessary.<\/p>\n
You might say to someone with Earth hands:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a hard worker. You enjoy physical challenges and your hands can think for themselves. You can be stubborn at times, and you don\u2019t easily change your mind. You enjoy rhythm and movement. You\u2019re not usually good with details, unless you\u2019re making something. You probably prefer working outdoors, doing something practical. You\u2019re reliable, honest and somewhat reserved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Air Hands<\/strong><\/h2>\nAir is essential for life. We take it for granted and seldom notice it, except on windy days. Air is also essential for communications, as it carries sound waves. Creatures of the air, such as birds and flying insects, are fast moving and active.<\/p>\n
The Air hand consists of a square palm and long fingers. These people tend to use logic more than intuition. They\u2019re quick-witted and express themselves clearly. They enjoy communicating and often have careers that utilize their skills.<\/p>\n
Their strong emphasis on logic means these people tend to distrust emotions, both their own and other people\u2019s.<\/p>\n
We could say something along these lines to someone with Air hands:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re intelligent, clear-thinking and discriminating. Relationships are important to you, but you sometimes find logic getting in the way of your feelings. You\u2019re reliable and like to do things completely. You\u2019re a stimulating companion and life is never dull when you\u2019re around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Water Hands<\/strong><\/h2>\nFinally, water. If you think about it, water is essentially still. Other forces have to act upon it to make it change. It\u2019s also shapeless as it simply moves to fill up whatever space is available.<\/p>\n
The Moon has a strong influence on water, creating the tides in our oceans. The saying, \u201cstill waters run deep\u201d, is very pertinent to the Water hand. The Water hand consists of an oblong palm with long fingers. It\u2019s sometimes called the intuitive hand, as these people are extremely aware and receptive.<\/p>\n
People with this type of hand are changeable, impressionable and emotional. They\u2019re idealistic and highly imaginative.<\/p>\n
To someone with water hands, you could say:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have an extremely rich inner life. Your imagination is keen and you fantasize about just about everything. You can be influenced by others, so you\u2019re flexible with your ideas. Your intuition is strong. You\u2019re emotional. If you\u2019re interested in someone, you love spending time with them. You also need time by yourself to reflect on your own life. You are happiest inside the right relationship with someone to depend and rely upon.\u201d<\/p>\n
