Healthy people with fire hands often display high energy and tend to do their best work under pressure. They may cram in school and need deadlines. Personal emotions ride roller coasters. At their best they are enthusiastic, expansive and energetic. But they can become impatient, and in the process, destructive, cruel and self centered. These subjects work best for finite, often short term, goals and become bored easily. They may start far more projects in life than can they can ever finish. They do not like criticism and fear restriction. Will power is a challenge to them and they may need a kick start. The fire personality may aspire for security and positions of power and in public display leadership, energy and management capabilities. Yet these subjects are plagued with the desire to be free from responsibility.
The fire hand has a rectangular palm and short fingers. These measurements are made from the palm side of the hand. We measure and compare the length and breadth of the palm to see if it is a square or a rectangle. Then we compare the length of the palm with the length of the middle finger (usually the longest) to determine if the fingers are long or short. The palm length is measured from the base of the middle finger to the wrist. Its width is measured from side to side at about the level just above the thumb. Fire and water hands both bear rectangular palms, but the water hands are less robustness, may be hollow in the middle and tend to have many more fine lines and other markings.
The fire hand is commonly found on urban dwellers. Perhaps it is the fast pace of life that attracts them, ever challenging them with the new. They may tend to be peek experience groupies. Fire types are ruled by passion: passion in life, love and experience. As volatile lovers, their passion attracts them to other fire types. The self starting air type with his or her constant new ideas, can also form a good match. But the fire type must take care not to burn the air type out. These passionate souls soon tire of earth types and water types are quite unfathomable and make them feel smothered.
LETTER OF THE DAY: I have a large, square hand, a good farm, good income and a strong sex drive. I have been married three times to attractive women with strong, long hands who love to ride horses. Yet they have all left me after short relationships to go back to the city. What's wrong? D.C.
The strong, long hand and the former wife's behavior is the key. While your hand indicates you are an earth person, you keep trying to form a permanent relationship to a fire person. It is unlikely to work. The strong long hands indicate probable fire hands. Next time, either take an earthen girl with square hands and short fingers, or, if you want a long handed one, look for the thin, delicate hand, with many fine lines and long fingers and provide her a safe place to make all her own.
