Without saying a word, your hands speak volumes about your personality. For example, the shape and size of your hand can help you gain insight into your strenghts and weaknesses, as well as other's.
Do you have a long palm with short fingers? Then you've got an Earth hand and you are practical, reliable, and productive, although you may have to watch out for becoming too single-minded or authoritarian.
Such a practice is also fun in any social gathering - mention that you read palms and you'll soon have a crowd of people eager to find out more about themselves, if you are interested in such a thing.
The first thing you should learn is about the palms themselves. You have two of them, so it would be silly to give a reading to a person considering only one of his/her hands. If you are right-handed, your left hand will be "passive". It will show all of your inherent potential, the traits you were born with. As such some would consider it the hand of "Fate". Your right hand is the "active" hand, in this case, showing how you have developed or influenced these inborn characteristics.
The same applies to left-handed people, but in a reverse form.
I hope this has been interesting to you and I promise I will soon post a new thread on how star signs can affect your reading.
I just read back to this, this is a cool intro to what i think will be a great series of lessons :) Can you post more about the element-hand thing? It looks very interesting!

i have been doing palmistry before also..
two thumbs up for this.. ;)
hhmm.. one thing i like to find in the palms of others is the ring of venus and the mystic cross..
the ring of venus is situated below your ring and middle finger (its like binding theses two fingers together).. this is a sign that the person possessing this values friendship/relationship much..
the mystic cross is a sign that the person has the ability in divinations..
I searched a bit and found this and realized I have fire hands and the information seems legit beforehand I'm sorry for the long post.
Now see the elements in your hand: Study of hand type on the basis of the element you posses is the simplest research conducted in palmistry by various schools of hand analysis. This works on drawing an analogy between the shape and type of hand with the four elements present in nature.
Hey, do not burn me!
FIRE HAND: Fire constitutes consumption, generation and regeneration. In this, hand is oblong with short and square shape. Skin may be flushed in pink; the length of fingers is shorter than the length palm.
QUALITIES:
Fire hand holders are enthusiastic, which flows with the intrinsic moody temperament of the subject.
They have the power of burning themselves intrinsically and others on a trivial issue.
They dangle between rage and passivity on an off.
They have the capacity of handling myriads of emotions at a time.
Feel it inside you
EARTH HAND: Earth hand is inclusive of most of
the earthly characteristics. Though Earth hand is solid on the surface but continuous changes occur inside. Earth hands are generally square in
shape. The length of fingers is almost equal to the length of palm. The bearer's hand is coarse in texture and skin color varies from light to darker shades of earth.
QUALITIES:
Subject with this type of a hand is pragmatic, sensible and reliable.
Earth bearers are hard working. They love working with their hands.
Breathe it inside you.
AIR HAND: Air is the stimulating force,
conducting life around us. People possessing air hands are generally active and energetic. They have square palm and long fingers.
QUALITIES:
People possessing air hands are excellent communicators.
They are generally fast and quick in their personal activities.
Their thought system is clear and creative.
They are very good companions.
Come lets flow together...
WATER HAND: Water naturally inculcates fluidity in a person. Water gives flow and amorous nature to the subject. Water hands are short, oval
shaped with long, pointed and conical fingers.
The length of the palm is naturally equal to length of the fingers.
QUALITIES:
Bearers of this hand are fluid in thought and person.
They tend to change according to the
circumstances.
Water bearers have the capacity to hold two emotions at a time. They can be easy going as water is and freeze their hearts towards a situation and person.
Thus, check your type individually and feel every element running in your veins.
