Hand Shape Meaning
Hand Shape 1: The Raw Hand
The Raw Hand
Features:
- Palm looks thick

Health: With raw hands, the person will easily develop vertigo and have problems with respiratory system diseases.
People with this kind of palm are usually not very ambitious. Their life desires are not as many as other hand shapes’. Jobs requiring basic skills (without high-tech or complicated operations) are more suitable for them.
If the person has raw hands, he/she usually does few romantic things. They’re satisfied with a basic lifestyle.
When facing high pressure, at first raw-handed people typically feel depressed and want to be far away from the tough thing. However, when they feel they don’t have any other choice except dealing with the pressure, they will react heavy-handedly. Some even go against the law.

People with circular hands love beautiful things like art very much. They’re flexible and can easily adapt to changes.
The person with circular hands and long thumbs has big potential to be successful. The thumb needs to be at least as long as the middle of the first bone of the forefinger. Otherwise, they usually have low willpower and are easily influenced by other people.
Love: If the person has a circular hand, palm reading theory says that they’re usually considered a good partner or spouse. They’re easygoing, understanding, and responsible. However, be careful as they have a proclivity for love affairs.
Careers: Business jobs are suitable for people with circular hands. They are usually good at social interaction. Being adaptable to changes is the catalyst to their success. Many diplomats, politicians, musicians, and some reputable actors were born with circular palms.

- Big knuckle bones

If the person has philosophical hands, it is good if his/her thumb is long: reaching to the middle of the first bone of the forefinger or even longer. Long-thumbed philosophy hands have big possibilities of being famous.
The person with philosophical hands and short thumbs usually thinks more than does. Poor execution, thinking too much, and being emotional are usually their main characteristics.

Hand Shape 7: The Spearhead Hand
The Spearhead Hand
Features:
- Long, thin, and spearhead-shaped fingers
- Long, narrow palm
- Many disorderly/missing palm lines

If the person has spearhead hands, he/she usually loves beautiful things and has his/her own special point of view about beauty. With many palm lines out of order, they usually have many hobbies, but don’t concentrate on any one thing.
Careers: A long thumb will do much help for spearhead hands (regarding fame), as they are suited to being novelists, writers, and composers.
Hand Shape 8: The Mixed-Shape Hand
The Mixed-Shape Hand
Features:
Fingers are different from each other. For example, a conical, fan-shaped, and square nail on the same hand.
Having characteristics of different hand shapes doesn’t mean a mixed-shape hand person has high talent. Instead it means no special characteristics. Their thoughts and behaviours usually change a lot.
Mixed-shape hands are good at social interaction, able to discuss nearly all topics, but will feel embarrassed when meeting an expert in a field.
A person with mixed-shape hands usually complains a lot and doesn’t have the chance to carry out his/her ideas.
Moodiness or success: A mixed-shape hand with a small thumb, bent middle finger, and unclear wisdom line usually predicts bad emotion control. If the thumb is long and the wisdom line is straight and clear, mixed-shape hands have more potential to become successful.
