Four Types of Hands in Palmistry

Throughout history, palmists have developed variuos systems of categorization for human hand types. One popular system classifies our hand into 7 types: Elementary, square, philosophic, spatulate, conic, psychic and mixed. In Chinese Palmistry, there are 5 hand types - Wood, Earth, Metal, Water and Fire. But the simplest type of classification that many people use is the 4 elemental categories used in western astrology – Fire, Water, Earth and Air.

Earth: Square hands with short fingers.
Air: Square hands with long fingers.
Water: Oblong hands with long fingers.
Fire: Oblong hands with short fingers.

Air, Water, Fire and Earth. These relate very well to the descriptions of the Air, Water, Fire and Earth signs of astrology, but it does not necessarily mean that a Scorpion (a Water sign) would have a Water hand. You can find people with all types of hands in every sign of the zodiac.
