How it looks
Water hands are long, soft, and often finely lined. The palm can look oval, with tapered fingers and many small marks like ripples on a lake.
The pattern
Water people register what others cannot say. Their intuition is real, but it becomes costly when every mood in the room is treated as an assignment.
What helps
Name what is yours. Then name what is not. The second sentence may save you more energy than the first.
Compatibility
Water nourishes Wood and softens Metal. Fire is magnetic but demanding; Earth can hold Water if it does not try to stop it moving.
