Water Hand
Long, oval palm with long, slender fingers. The hand has an elegant, narrow appearance.
The water hand is the most sensitive and intuitive of the four shapes. Its long, oval palm and long, slender fingers give it an elegant, delicate appearance that mirrors an inner life ruled by emotion and imagination. In palmistry, the water hand is associated with empathy, creativity, and a deep attunement to feeling — both one's own and other people's. Those with water hands often absorb the moods around them and may need solitude to recover from emotional overwhelm. The skin tends to be soft and the lines many, fine, and sometimes faint, reflecting a psyche that is receptive, impressionable, and drawn to art, music, and the unseen currents of life.
