Let’s talk a bit about hand shape

Palmists recognize four basic hand shapes, and list five with the fifth being called "Mixed." In my book that means that they can't find enough distinct aspects of the shape to put it into any of the four hand shapes that are on the list. so let’s start with the hand shapes, (only four).
1. The Pointed Hand is also called almond shaped. Visualize the hand palm up and you should see a wide round shape at the bottom which narrows toward the ends of the fingers. This hand speaks of delicacy and grace. Not a worker's hand, a thinker's and an artist's hand. Often this shaped hand also lacks coloration, compared to other hands.
2. The Square Hand is called this as it is characterized by a square overall shape, both in the palm and the fingers. The palm of this type of hand may have few lines, but all the lines that appear tend to be deep and powerful. Characteristics for this type of hand include business acumen and practicality.
3. The Cone-Shaped Hand is characterized by smooth round fingers and a smoothly rounded palm. This hand seems to be common to educators, philosophers, and educators.
4. The Spade-Shaped Hand has a square aspect at the wrist end with a slight tapering toward the fingers. People with this shaped hand tend toward the manual trades, including labor and the engineering and inventiveness behind the manual labor of others.

The mixed hand, as mentioned above is a hand which may exhibit some characteristics of more than one of the above real hand shapes. This often includes fingers which do not exhibit consistent shapes which are characteristic of the other hand shapes. As might be guessed, the palmists consider this hand to be associated with generalists; people who are good at more than one thing. This hand is also typical of people whose professions require mixed traits and activities of the other character/occupation types.
