The five hand types
Chinese palmistry looks at the shape of the hand before the lines. The shape gives the hand one of five element types.
The Wood Hand
Long palm, long fingers. You think in branches. Decisions take a season.
The Fire Hand
Long palm, short fingers. You burn fast. The trick is choosing what's worth lighting.
The Earth Hand
Square palm, short fingers. You stay. People build their houses on what you say.
The Metal Hand
Square palm, long fingers. You cut clean. Friends call when their thinking is muddy.
The Water Hand
Oval palm, long fingers. You feel it before you can name it. Trust that.
