Five elements
Your hand has an element before it has a prediction.
Chinese palmistry starts with body shape. The element tells us what kind of energy the lines are moving through.
Five elements
Shape, proportion and element before prediction.
The new image makes this chapter feel like a five-element reading table instead of a plain list.
Wood
The Wood Hand
Long palm, long fingers. You think in branches. Decisions take a season.
Fire
The Fire Hand
Long palm, short fingers. You burn fast. The trick is choosing what's worth lighting.
Earth
The Earth Hand
Square palm, short fingers. You stay. People build their houses on what you say.
Metal
The Metal Hand
Square palm, long fingers. You cut clean. Friends call when their thinking is muddy.
Water
The Water Hand
Oval palm, long fingers. You feel it before you can name it. Trust that.
