Hand Types in Palm Reading
For beginner searches about square palms, long fingers, soft hands and five elements hand types.
Read shape before details
A narrow palm with long fingers does not carry the same tone as a broad square palm. The hand type helps prevent overreading one line.
Use five elements as a map
Chinese palmistry often uses Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water hand patterns to describe temperament and life rhythm.
Then check the lines
After the hand type, read the life line, heart line, wisdom line and fate line. The best interpretation combines both layers.
