| i. The
Elementary or the Lowest type :- |
| We must consider
the seven types of hand starting at the lowest, the elementary or as it
is often called the necessary hand. This hand naturally belongs to the
lowest type of mentality it is on the border line between the brute and
the man. In appearance it is coarse and clumsy, with large, thick, heavy
palm, short fingers and short nails. It is always important to notice
the length of palm and fingers. The important point in elementary hand:
the palm is always thick and coarse and the fingers are short and clumsy.
The hand itself is extremely short and barely reaches the base of the
first finger.There is very little to be seen on the palm. |
| There are very few lines
on such hands,seldom more than the three lines heart, head and life.People
possessing such hands have little mental capacity, and what they do possess
leans more to the order of |

| ii. The Square
or the Useful hand :- |
| This is so called because
the palm is square at the wrist, square at the base of the fingers and
the fingers and nails are also square. Such a type is called the useful
hand because it is found in so many walks of life. The square hand is
most practical and logical of all the types. People with such a hand are
orderly, punctual, and precious manner. They form conformity with custom
and habit. They respect authority, they love discipline, they have a place
for everything and every- thing is kept in its place, not only in there
household, but in their brains. They respect law and order and are slaves
to custom, they are not quarrelsome, but are determined in opposition,
they prefer reason to instinct, peace to war, and are methodical in work
and habit. They neutrally love the exact sciences and practical studies.
They encourage agriculture and commerce, they love home and the duties
of home, but are not demonstrative in affection. They are sincere and
true in promises, staunch in friendship, strong in principle and honest
in business. Their greatest fault is that they are inclined to reason
by twelve-inch rule and disbelieve all that they cannot understand. They
are good lawyers, doctors, scientists and the business men. |

| The Spatula
or the Nervous active type :- |
| This hand type is called
spatula not only because the tips of each finger resembles the spatula
which chemists use in mortars, but also because the palm, instead of having
the squareness of the preceding type, is either unusually broad at the
wrist or at the base of the fingers. It is usually found crooked and irregular.
The palm itself spatulated in two positions, either extremely broad at
the base of the fingers and tapering back towards the wrist or very broad
at the wrists and stopping towards the base of the fingers. The spatulate
hand may be |

|
| The Philosophic or the
idealistic hand :- |
| The name of this type explains
itself. The word 'philosophic' being derived from the Greek word 'philos'
meaning live and 'Sophia' meaning wisdom. It is the most easily recognized
hand. It is usually long and angular with bony fingers, developed joints
and long nails. They are philosophers. It is seldom that they gain great
success in the form of wealth. They study mankind, they know every chord
and tone in the harp of life, they play upon it and are gratified with
its responsive melody more than with the click of coin. Such people love
mystery in all things. If they preach, they preach over the heads of the
people, if they paint, they are mystic, if they are poets,they discard
dramatic clash and color of life for the visionary |

|
|
| |
| The Conic or the Artistic
type:- |
| The conic hand if properly
speaking, is medium-sized with the palm slightly tapering, and the fingers
full at the base, and conic, or slightly pointed, at the tip or nail phalange.
It is often confined with the next type, the psychic, which is the long
and narrow hand, with extremely long, tapering fingers. The main characteristics
of the conic hand are impulse and instinct. People with conic hand are
often, in fact, designated as 'the children of impulse'. On the contrary
this type simply indicates the love for art and beauty in every shape
and form. They show an artistic, impulsive nature.They may be clever and |

| The Psychic or the Idealistic
hand :- |
| It is the most beautiful
but the most unfortunate type of hand to possess if we consider worldly
advancement. In formation it is long, narrow, and fragile-looking, with
slender, tapering fingers and long, almond-shaped nails. Its very fineness
and beauty, however, indicate its want for energy and strength. This type
of hand have the purely visionary and idealistic nature. They appreciate
the beauty in every shape and form, they are gentle in the manner, quiet
in temper, confiding, and they instinctively trust every one who are kind
to them. |
the brute. The have little or no control over their passion,
love of form, color, and beauty does not appeal to them. The thumb of such hands
is short and thick, with the upper part of the nail phalange heavy, full,and
generally square. Such people are violent in temper, passionate but not courageous.
If they commit murder, it is in the fury and in the sprit of destruction. They
possess a certain low cunning instinct. These are people without aspiration.
Simply they eat, drink, sleep, and die.
either hard and firm or soft and flabby. In the first
mentioned case it indicates a nature, restless and excitable but full of energy
of purpose and enthusiasm. If the spatulate hand is soft and flabby it denotes
a more restless and irritable spirit, such persons could stick to nothing long.
They change with the mood of the moment, and are usually dissatisfied, discontented
and erratic. The most striking characteristic of all is the singular independence
of spirit. It is this sprit that makes them explorers and discoverers and causes
them also to depart from the known rules of engineering and machines to seek
the unknown and thus become famous for their inventions. No matter in which
grade or position of life these spatula hands find themselves, they always strike
out for themselves and assert their right to possess a mark individuality of
their own. A singer, actress, doctor, or preacher with such a instinct will
break all rules of precedent - not by any means for the sake of eccentricity,
but simply because they have an original way of looking at things and their
sense of independence inclines them to resent other people's idea.
similes and vapourish drippings of the sprit. These people
are mostly religious. Such hands are found very largely among the Oriental nations,
particularly in India. The Brahmans, Yogis, and other mystics possess them in
great numbers. In England, striking examples are found in the hands of Cardinal
Newman, Cardinal Manning, and Tension. They are also largely seen among the
Jesuits of Catholic Church, rarely in the English Church, and more rarely in
Baptists, Presbyterians. In character they are silent and secretive, they are
deep thinkers, careful over little matters even in use of little words, they
rarely forget an injury and are blessed with the power of patience.
quick in thought and ideas, yet they are so utterly devoid
of patience and tire so easily, that they rarely carry out their intentions.
Such people appear to be the greatest advantage for the company. They are good
conversationalists, they grasp the drift of a subject quickly, but they are
more or less superficial in knowledge and other things.They judge everything
by impulse and instinct. They are also very much influenced by the people with
whom they come in contact, and by their surroundings. They are impressionable
in affairs de coeur; they carry their likes and dislikes to extremes, they are
usually short-tempered but it is a thing of the moment. Such people tire so
easily that they rarely carry out there designs or intentions. They are generous
and sympathetic, selfish where their own personal comfort is concerned, it is
true, but not in money matters, they are easily influenced to give money for
charity, but alas! here they have not the power of discrimination, consequently
the money is given to anybody or anything which may rouse their sympathies at
the moment.

They have no idea of how to be practical, business-like,
or logical.They have no conception of order, punctuality or discipline.They
are easily influenced by others, against their will, they are carried away by
the strong rush of humanity. Color appeals to there nature in the highest possible
way, to some, every tone of music , every joy, every sorrow, every emotion is
reflected in a color. This is unconsciously a religious one, it feels what is
true, but has not the power to seek truth. In religion such people will be more
impressed with the service, the music, and the ceremony than with the logic
or truth of the sermon. They are devotional by nature, they seem to dwell on
the confines of the spiritual.They feel the awe and the mystery of life, without
knowing why. All forms of magic and mystery attract themThey are easily imposed
upon and bitterly feel resented on being deceived. These individuals have the
quality of taking initiatives.

| The Mixed
hand :- |
| The mixed hand is the most
difficult of all to describe.It is so called because not only the fingers,
but the hand itself, cannot possibly be classed under any type of hand
such as square, spatulated etc. The mixed hand is the hand of ideas, of
versatility, and generally of changebility of purpose. A man with such
a hand is adaptable to both people and circumstances, clever, but erratic
in the application of his talents. He will be brilliant in conversation,
be the subject science, art, or gossip. He may play some instrument fairly
well, may paint a little, and so on, but rarely will be great. When, however
a strong line of head rules the hand, he will,among all of his talents
choose the best.Such hands find their greatest |
scope
in work requiring diplomacy and tact. They are so versatile that they have
no different dispositions with which they come into contact. Their most striking
peculiarity is their adaptability to circumstances, they never feel the ups
and downs of fortune like others and almost all classes of the work are easy
to them. They are generally inventive. They are fond of new ideas: one moment
they determine to write a drama, the next, perhaps, they invent a gas-stove
or go into politics but as they are always changing, and unstable as water,
they rarely succeed.
