The seven types of hands (PART 1)

                                                   CHEIROGNOMY OF SHAPES OF HANDS 

The study of types and shapes of the hand is very important to understand the nature and personality of a person. Because different types of hands have different characteristics in human nature. Every hand shows the upbringing and capabilities of a person. The shape of hands also change by the development of mind, so to study throughly about a person we should always start with the types of hands then thumb and fingers then last not least nails.

SOFT AND HARD HANDS 

Even in the simple act of shaking hands, one can form conclusions about character.

Beware of any man or woman whose hand seems to slip from yours when you grasp theirs in greeting. Such persons are deceptive and treacherous. They may smile at you with their lips, but instinctively they regard you as their prey and will only use you for their own object.

A soft, fat hand is the indication of an indolent and more or less lazy person.

A firm hand is the sign of an energetic, reliable nature.

A very thin hand denotes a restless energetic disposition,
 but one that is given to worry, and fretting and is generally discontented.

A thin hand that feels listless in one's grasp denotes a weak constitution that has only sufficient energy to live.

A cold, clammy hand is also a sign of poor health, but generally that of a very sensitive and nervous person.

A person who keeps his hands closed while talking, is distrustful in his nature, has little self-reliance and can seldom be relied on by others.

A man or woman who gives a good firm grasp of the hand, is self-confident, energetic, and generally reliable.

When all the fingers (especially if the fingers be long) are seen always clinging, sticking, as it were, or folding over one another it denotes very doubtful qualities in the nature of their possessor and a decided tendency towards thieving and general lack of moral principal.

Remember that the hands are the immediate servants or instruments of the brain. There are more motive and sensory nerves from the brain to the hand than to any other portion of the body and, whether sleeping or waking, they continually and unconsciously reflect the thought and character of the mind or soul of the individual.

It will, then, be seen from these observations that without looking at the lines of the hand, one may be able to obtain certain details of character that are more trustworthy than those given by the face, and that these rules, if followed, should be of the greatest assistance and value to people in all walks of life.

They succeed in all lines of work that do not require imagination or the creative faculties, and as business men, lawyers, doctors, scientists, they do extremely well, and are generally to be found in such callings.
There greatest fault is that they are inclined to reason by a twelve-inch rule, and disbelieve all they can not understand.

THE SPATULATE HAND

Looks:

• Crooked or irregular 
• Large tips
• Pads at the ends of the fingers
• Looks like the spatula
• Palm irregular in shape
• Wider at the base of the fingers than at the wrist

Qualities:

• Remarkable for their originality
• Enormous imagination
• Creative faculties largely developed
• Inventive
• Unconventional
• Emotional

The Spatulate type has also the palm irregular in shape. It may be wider at the base of the fingers than at the wrist, or it may be foundvice versa.

In the first case they are then more practical in their work and views and less impulsive. With the larger development at the wrist, they are more carried away with their impulses, hasty and impetuous in temper, speech, and action.
