"Oh my, now I feel behind. Moving on to shapes of the palm.
Depending on the type of palmistry practiced, and the type of reading being performed, palmists may look at various qualities of the hand, including the shapes and lines of the palm and fingers; the color and texture of the skin and fingernails; the relative sizes of the palm and fingers; the prominence of the knuckles; and numerous other attributes of the hands.
In most schools of palmistry, hand shapes are divided into four or 10 major types, sometimes corresponding to the Classical elements or temperaments. Hand shape is believed to indicate character traits corresponding to the type indicated (i.e., a "Fire hand" would exhibit high energy, creativity, short temper, ambition, etc. - all qualities believed to be related to the Classical element of Fire).
Although variations abound, the most common classifications used by modern palmists:
* Earth hands are generally identified by broad, square palms and fingers, thick or coarse skin, and ruddy color. The length of the palm from wrist to the bottom of the fingers is usually equal to the length of the fingers.
* Air hands exhibit square or rectangular palms with long fingers and sometimes protruding knuckles, low-set thumbs, and often dry skin. The length of the palm from wrist to the bottom of the fingers is usually equal to the length of the fingers.
* Water hands are seeable by the short, sometimes oval-shaped palm, with long, flexible, conical fingers. The length of the palm from wrist to the bottom of the fingers is usually less than the width across the widest part of the palm, and usually equal to the length of the fingers.
* Fire hands are characterized by a square or rectangular palm, flushed or pink skin, and shorter fingers. The length of the palm from wrist to the bottom of the fingers is usually greater than the length of the fingers.
The number and quality of lines can also be included in the hand shape analysis; in some traditions of palmistry, Earth and Water hands tend to have fewer, deeper lines, while Air and Fire hands are more likely to show more lines with less clear definition."

*Text observes that she has air hands. Finding this interesting, she writes it down with the rest of her notes.*

"Skeptics often include palmists on lists of alleged psychics who practice a technique called cold reading. Cold reading is cited as the practice that allows readers of all kinds, including palmists, to appear psychic.
There has been little widely accepted research verifying palmistry's accuracy as a system of character analysis, and so far no conclusive evidence has been provided to support a connection between the lines of the palm and a person's character beyond what could be deduced from analyzing that the person suffered from a chromosomal disorder or belonged to a certain statistical group based on their digit ratio. No conclusive data have yet been found to support the claims made by hand readers with respect to life expectancy or personality type."

*Pauses her note taking to examine her hands* I think I have fire hands. Odd. My zodiac sign is a water sign. Does that mean they cancel each other out? Hmmm.

Aludra Yvette... Aludra looked at her hands and frowned. "Is it possible to have a combination of hands? Mine look like Water and Fire." ...6th Year Slytherin (I actually do have water and Fire hands in rl lol And I did the tea reading! I was fun)

*PuddingCow looks at her hands, finding that they are either fire, or water...But finds her palm is longer than her fingers.*
"I guess I'm a fire hand! This lesson is kind of intriguing!"
*She returns to her notes, sketching hands out to show the different types.*

"Oh my, it seems you guys are a step a head of me. It seems you have wonder insight.
I was thinking for today, we could try to read our own hands. Under nifty links, I posted the wiki and and another link for palm reading."

*Examines hand more closely* My heart line is bent, which means I am an intellectual. My head line is long, which means I am ambitious. My life line is short ( confused ), but deep, which means it is a smooth life. My fate line is faint, which means failures and disappointments ( confused ), and I have three love lines and two children lines. I have a slight health line, and two wrist bands with several broken bands ( confused ). *Looks up* My palm is very contradictory.
