The seven types of hands (PART 2)

THE PHILOSOPHIC HAND

Long, bony hands 

The Philosophic Hand is one of the highest developments of the mental side of the human family.The Philosophic Hand received this name from the Greek φιλοσ—love, and σοφιχ—wisdom. When the Greeks made a study of hands they noticed that all those persons who possessed this type had a bent for philosophy in their blood that nothing could eradicate.

Looks:

• Long
• Less fleshed bony
• Angular with knotty joints
• Fairly thin
• Long thumb
• Skin is thin and delicate

Qualities:

Topics like God,world,human fate,life and death etc are  center of thoughts.

Think more and do less

Analysis is deep

Always studious

Great readers 

Strong tendency towards literature

Love sedentary work

See everything as a philosopher

Laziness is dominant

Profession:

• The monks
• Saints 
• Beggars
• Mathematician

They love sedentary work, and have a somewhat lonely, ascetic disposition. Perhaps on account of this quality they are very often found in church-life, or largely associated with religious movements. The monks of old,I mean those who compiled those wonderful manuscripts on doctrine, science, art, alchemy, and occult matters, all had this class of hand. In our modern times this type may be easily recognized, and the qualities it expresses remain the same even in the age of money-getting and machinery.

THE CONIC HAND

THE CONIC OR ARTISTIC HAND

The harder and firmer this type of hand is, the more likely it is to find that its possessor will really make something out of his artistic temperament.

Looks:

• Always graceful looking
• Fingers tapering and pointed
• Wide from the wrist 
• Fingers are pointed like pencils
• Skin texture 

Qualities: 

• Emotional, artistic temperament
• Loves beautiful surroundings
• Sensitive to colour, music, and all the fine arts
• Indolence in the nature
• Sensitive and emotional
• Loyal and friendly
• Care for people 
• Attracted highly towards romance and sex
• Irresponsible person.
• Emotional and hesitant personality 

Profession: 

• Artist
• Poet 
• Painter 

Its possessor may not always paint pictures or design beautiful things, but he will have the emotional, artistic temperament, which loves beautiful surroundings, and is most sensitive to colour, music, and all the fine arts. It largely depends on the kind of Head Line and the will power shown by it, to determine whether its owner will develop the natural artistic temperament that he or she possesses.

THE PSYCHIC HANDS

In constitution they are seldom strong physically, and consequently they are doubly unfitted for the struggle for existence.


Looks:

• Beautifully formed 
• Long, soft hands
• Skin texture smooth
• Flexible thumb and fingers 
• Nails oval narrow and quit long

Qualities: 

• Strong imagination
• Least successful in worldly standpoint
• World of dreams and ideals.
• Know nothing of practical or purely material side of existence
• Motivated by their deepest feelings

These beautiful hands do not appear made for work in any sense. They are also too spiritual and frail to deal blows and hold their own in the battle of life. If they are supported by others, or have money of their own to live on, all may be well, and in such cases they will be likely to develop strange psychic gifts dealing with visions and ideals that some few may hear and understand. But if not, their fate as a rule is a sad one, they will easily be pushed aside by the rougher types of humanity or, in sheer helplessness, take their own lives, and so end the unequal struggle.

THE MIXED HAND

What is called the "Mixed Hand"  is an aggregation of all the types, or at least, some of them.

It is very often found having all the fingers different from one another, as for example one pointed, one square, or spatulate, and so on. Or sometimes the palm may be of one type, say spatulate, with all the fingers mixed.

Such persons are always versatility itself, but so changeable in purpose that they rarely succeed in making much out of any talents they may possess. They can generally do a little of everything but nothing well. They can talk on any subject that may crop up, but never impress their listeners with depth of thought on any subject.

It is only when the Line of Head is found on such hands clear and straight that there is a likelihood of these persons developing some one talent out of the versatility that this type gives.
