The differences between the hands
Which hand do you read?
The left and right hands are totally different from one another. It's very rare to find a pair of palms which are identical.

The theory behind this is that your potential at birth is revealed in the left hand while the right hand represents your adult self and shows what you have done with your abilities. This is reversed in left-handed people.

You have to study both hands. The hand you write with is your dominant or active hand. It reflects the conscious you. The other hand, the passive or minor hand, is more about the subconscious. So both hands must be considered to see the 'whole' person.

The Elementary Hand
The fingers are short and stubby and the palm is square. People with this type of hand are good with animals and plants and work in areas where they can be close to nature.
The Square Hand
This type of hand has no major curves. This hand belongs to someone who is patient, stubobrn, who works hard and doesn't like change.
The Conic Hand
Conic hands are rounded with tapering fingers. Those who have conic hands are artistic, imaginative people. They love new ideas and are great company by the fact that they make acquaintances whereever they go.
The Psychic Hand
This hand is very delicate with slim, pointed fingers and narrow palms. These psychic hands point to someone who is naive, idealistic who can't cope with real life and is impractical. These dreamers are often gifted with intuition.
The Philosophic Hand
This hand has knotted bumpy fingers. The rectangular palm points to those who are thinkers and those who like to explore subjects such as religion and politics. They like their privacy.
