| The pragmatic hand is
easy to spot by its square or rectangular shape
and square-shaped fingers. The knuckles are smooth
or slightly knotty. The palm is almost equal in
length and breadth, and is usually quite stiff.
The hand is very firm in texture, even hard sometimes.
It has a solid feel about it. The skin quality
varies from very coarse to moderately fine. | The alert hand is very
soft and spongy. The bones, in these hands are
completely covered by flesh and muscles. The palm
has an oval shape. The fingers are thick at the
base and then taper down at the ends which are
either rounded or conic. It is said that these
fingers are really recieving aerials, picking
up vibrations from the Universe. The fingers are
smooth-jointed, and this indicates a variety of
talents. | The vigorous hand is
smooth and firm. It has smooth fingers and rounded
tips. It is tough, muscular, not too broad, and
not too narrow. It differs from the realistic
hand in that it is not as square, is more flexible,
and it does not have knots on the knuckles. This
hand is warm to touch, and it is usually bright
in colour. | The palm has a bony,
narrow feel and the well defined knotty joints
are the vital features of the analytical hand.
The fingers are usually long, but the distinctive
feature is the enlarged or knotty knuckles. The
hand is a little dry to the touch, and sometimes
it feels cool. |
