Illustration of the five elements of palmistry

Hand shape is the simplest and most accurate application method in palmistry analysis. The shape of the hand determines a person's basic character and values, as well as the way and attitude of doing things. If the results of other palmistry analyses are different from those of hand shape analysis, please refer to the hand shape.
In Western palmistry, hand shapes are divided into seven types, namely square hand, comb hand, cone hand, spiritual hand, philosophical hand, primitive hand and mixed hand. In China, hand shapes are divided into six types according to the Five Elements: metal hand, wood hand, water hand, fire hand, earth hand and a combination of both. In fact, the names are different, but the meanings are similar. However, there are only four common hand shapes (pointed, conical, square, and oval). Ziweifu gives you a detailed analysis of the impact of the I Ching Five Elements attributes of palmistry on a person's habits, family, career, marriage, gold card, etc.
