Well, the guidelines now work for identifying hands that can be described with one hand shape only.... however, the guidelines do not work for hands that meet requirements that relate to 3 different hand shapes (I am talking about 'mixed' hands).

Unfortunately, for those hands it is probably really required to consider my guidelines in the picture for finding the 'shape profile', and then it also requires to use the full profile... instead of just counting the elements!


Do you have normal finger length? [locked] - Page 6 147301 Now that I have recognzied that this is the situation, I might better present the criteria in another format - just to make it more easy to find the 'shape' formula.

(Sorry, I have to think over again about how to get there... Do you have normal finger length? [locked] - Page 6 964784 )

You're working hard on this!
I'm not sure how you can have a hand that relates to 3 different hand shapes? Two elements in handshape is enough for purposes of classification & doing readings. If it came into Johnny's 'undifferentiated' category, then there is nothing to say about it in readings. I know your focus isn't on doing readings. Just wondering if you are making it too complicated.

1) Fire requirement 1: FL > PB

sorry to see it doesn't fit in with the system I was taught, given standard classic fire handshape (measured across centre of palm) = 10 PL x 8 PB x 7.5 FL

Hi Lynn,

Sorry, there were quite a few typo-mistakes in the earlier version(s) that I presented today. By the way, that requirement (fl > pb) did not follow the requirements in my picture.... because that would not make sense at all.


Anyway, the guidelines for FIRE hand shape are now (conform the guidelines in my picture):

"FINGER LENGTH & PALM SHAPE REQUIREMENTS
FOR FIRE HAND SHAPE!

A 'pure' FIRE hand shape has a FIRE SHAPE CODE: + | ++ | -

1) FIRE requirement F1: 0.93xPB < FL < PB [SHAPE CODE F1 = +]
2) FIRE requirement F2: FL/PL < 0.75 [SHAPE CODE F2 = ++]
3) FIRE requirement F3: 0.75 < PB/PL < 0.80 [SHAPE CODE F3 = -]

[FL = finger lenght, PB = palm breadth, PL = palm length]


After finding the SHAPE CODE for a hand you can compare it with the typical FIRE SHAPE CODE: + | ++ | - "



Maybe you can try to apply those guidelines to your hands? You should find for both hands that your 'shape profile' is: - | + | -

And if you then compare this code with the typical code for the elemental hand shapes, then you will probably recognize that you have a mix of FIRE and AIR:

- EARTH HAND SHAPE PROFILE = ++ | + | ++
- FIRE HAND SHAPE PROFILE = + | ++ | -
- AIR HAND SHAPE PROFILE = - | -- | +
- WATER HAND SHAPE PROFILE = -- | - | --

When you look at the details, you can that you have 1 match with AIR (first aspect), one match with EARTH (second aspect), and one match with FIRE (third aspect).

However... because your profile has 2 contradictions with EARTH as well, therefore the EARTH-match can be ignored because your shape profile has far too many '-' signs to be associated with EARTH hand shape.

This leaves only the option of a FIRE/AIR hand shape combination for both of your hand! cheers


(Yes Lynn, I have been working hard in order to get all details work together. But now I have almost arrived where I wanted to get. PS. In my guidelines I still have to describe the approach regarding the contradictive signs in the shape profile for a hand... but I will take care of that soon!)

I am quite good at maths, but it still seems too complicated!

(by the way Martijn, I didn't say I have fire/air hands. I said I have standard fire palm with fingers slightly longer than standard fire hand shape, which adds a little air. Basically my handshape is more fire than air in the system I use.)

Lynn, if you look in the picture you'll see that you 'finger coordinates' are indeed positioned closest to the red zone - which shows that the FIRE aspect in your mix is dominant.

By the way, I have percantages available as well for your hands:

- Right hand: 42% FIRE + 8% AIR
- Left hand: 42% FIRE, 8% AIR


PS. These percentages result from an analysis for you 'shape profile' compared to the FIRE SHAPE PROFILE and the AIR SHAPE PROFILE

(EDIT: I described my method regarding the percentages earlier in this discussion as a point counting system - but these are not featured in my article. And since I doubt whether percentages could become useful for any practical purpose, I haven't planned to share those in my article).

PPS. The maths are not complex, but I agree that I better withdraw my idea that this method is like 'child's play' (I was too optimist about that yesterday, after I thought that it should be possible to described each hand with just 2 requirements).

Yes Lynn, I understand what you are saying here. And my method indicates that fire is dominant for your 'mixed' hand shape.

For, if we compare your SHAPE PROFILE (- | + | -) with the FIRE & AIR SHAPE PROFILES:

- FIRE SHAPE PROFILE = + | ++ | -
- AIR SHAPE PROFILE = - | -- | +

... then we can see that it takes only 2 steps (and the correction of just one contradiction) to get the FIRE SHAPE PROFILE; however, it takes 3 steps to get the AIR SHAPE PROFILE (including the correction of 2 contradictions).


However, I would say that according the C.S. principles your hand can not be described as a FIRE hand shape. Because your fingers are not short at all, and your palm shape is slightly more wide than long - afterall Lynn... how can we describe your palm as 'long' in the perspective of the fact that you have the long fingers???

(Because according the C.S. perspective you define finger length in the perspective of palm length only)


However, my approach indicates that if the 3 dimensions (fl, pb and pl) are considered together in your hands, the combination leaves no other option than that your hands most resemble a FIRE hand shape (despite that your fingers are slightly long and your palm is slightly short - because of the long fingers).

Post  Martijn (admin) Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:52 pm


... I have just added another picture to my article which visually describes the essential differences among the 'SHAPE PROFILES' of the 4 hand types.

Lynn, you might want use the picture to compare your SHAPE PROFILE ( - | + | - ) with the 4 elemental profiles;

- EARTH PROFILE:
1 match, 2 large contradictions (my point system says: 0 points = 0%)
- FIRE PROFILE:
1 match, 1 small contradiction (my point system says: 2.5 points = 42%)
- AIR PROFILE:
1 match, 1 large contradiction, 1 small contradiction (my point system says: 0.5 point = 8%)
- WATER PROFILE:
0 matches, 1 small contradiction (my point system says: 1.5 points = 25%)

So, FIRE is indeed by far the most dominant element for your hands. But one can for sure not speak of a 'pure' fire hand... because of the percentage below 50% + the small contradiction regarding the typical FIRE profile and your slightly wide palm breadth.

But since the percentages for AIR is much lower, and WATER is not high either (and WATER has not match at all), one could argue that your hand can still best be described as a FIRE hand shape. But one could also argue for 'mixed hand shape' dominated by FIRE.

(I guess a discussion about Johnny's small photo examples could help me to focus my thoughts regarding how to describe the difference between a 'mixed' hand shape and a hand shape dominant for one element. Regarding a 'pure' hand shape... I would [prefer to put the standard pretty high: by adding the requirement of matches for all 3 aspects in the 'shape profile' => which results in a 100% score for the element involved, and 0% scores for the other elements!)

Do you have normal finger length? [locked] - Page 6 Shape-profiles-elemental-hand-shapes

[FL = finger length, PB = palm breadth, PL = palm length]

NOTICE: These profiles fit with the details that I have presented in my picture that presents the refined definition for the 4 hand shapes + the elemental axes (see the picture below).


When making a complete hand shape assessment for one hand - by composing a SHAPE PROFILE - one can look for:

- 'matches' with the elemental shape profiles
- likewise 'dynamics' inside the shape profiles
- 'contradictions'.

Then it will become quite easy to find out which of the 4 elemental hand shapes is most dominant in the hand - even when the hand can best be described as a 'mixed' hand shape!

Martijn, sorry I am still far behind in this discussion. Thank you for keeping us informed at every stage of your thought processes, it is fascinating to see how you've formulated all this. (and thanks for using my hand as an example which makes it easier for me to follow your thoughts!). Even tho there are parts I don't understand, or even parts I disagree with, I thank you for putting all this time and effort into understanding elemental handshapes and trying to find a formula. If it works, it will be an amazing piece of study & research. (even if it is difficult to put into practise in readings).

PS (edit) - I am happy to help you go through Johnny's photos if it helps to focus your thoughts.

Lynn, I have a question for you to answer:

Can you explain with a few arguments/details to my why you consider your palm as 'more fire than air'?

(I have been wondering about this for quite a while, because when I use the C.S. principles one could argue: because your fingers are slightly long, this implicates that your palm must be slightly short. And then in order to have a fire palm shape (combined with slightly short palm length)... I think that would require your palm to be just below medium to slightly narrow. But the thing is, that your hand dimensions indicate that you palm breadth is actually wide compared to both finger length (FL/PL = '-') AND palm length (PB/PL = '-')... which I would associate with air. So, therefore I would be interested to hear you explain a little bit more why you perceive your palm as 'more fire than air'. I hope this request makes sense?)

OK it's a good question.
I think there is some historical reason for this, going back to the seminar I went to about handshape. When I look at my hand dimensions written down around 1996, I have palm length 10cm, palm width (measuring across centre of palm, half way up) 8cm. earth finger 8cm. ie classic fire shape palm, with 'medium' fingers. (I only have one set of measurements, probably right hand). This translates as standard fire shape palm with slightly longer fingers than fire shape hand (which adds a little air).
I realise that recently I have given you different measurements, ie palm being 1 - 2 mm longer and width being 2 - 3 mm shorter (measured across metacarpals instead of centre of palm).

On a personal & holistic level (taking other areas of the hand into account) I am open to your idea about it being a matter of perception, because the air element is the one I most lack confidence in. (but over-all fire is my weakest element!).

Please explain - because your fingers are slightly long, this implicates that your palm must be slightly short.
If my fingers are slightly long in relation to length of palm, how can this imply that my palm length is short?

Hi Lynn,

Here are the photo examples from Johnny's book.

Before we start making an assessment for those hands, I have featured each photo with a small dot representing the central location at the distal wrist crease and the crease connecting the 3th finger with the palm.

Would you first mind to check if we agree about those locations?

(Maybe it might be an idea to check the those locations as well from your copy of Johnny's book)


Then, if we agree about those locations, I would suggest that you make an assessment of the hand shape - and I will start making my assessment... and afterwards we can see what the results are, etc.)

So if Lynn's hand is 42% Fire and 25% Water and only 0% Earth with 8% Air - it comes out to Fire/Air in Martijn's percentage system
and to Fire/Air in Lynn's perspective
but sure looks like Fire/Water in the calculations
and Fire/Water in the definition of long palm, long fingers - only it's too wide for water.
Then if Fire/Water doesn't exist in reality... something must be off here... scratch
and why not add up to 100% rather than 75% thinking

If my fingers are slightly long in relation to length of palm, how can this imply that my palm length is short?

Lynn, I think this is only the logical consequence of how 'finger length' is defined in the C.S. system.

Because I observe that according the books and according your perception, in the C.S. system finger length is always assessed in the perspective of 'palm length' only.

So, if fingers are short... according the guidelines that can only be the result of the length of the palm - which should be long (in the perspective of finger length). And if fingers are long, according the guidelines in your system it appears to me that this can only be the result of the palm being short (relative to finger length again).

I could say that it appear to me that in the C.S. approach you have been guided to use relative measures only.


Thanks for describing the history of how you developed your perception. But for me it is a bit funny how you have used only two aspects of your point of reference regarding the typical fire hand PROPORTIONS (which you described earlier this week to be: 7.5 - 8 - 10).

Because, I would assume here that a typical fire palm does not display the same dimensions of a medium palm. For, if that had been the case then a fire palm could also have been described as: just a normal palm (featured with short fingers).

However, the fire palm is described as an oblong palm (Fincham) / large rectangle palm (Dukes)... and for me this makes sense.

But the logical consequence for me that one can not use the typical fire palm proportions... without considering those in the perspective of finger length.


However, I do realize that... IF you have been told that a medium hand can be described as having the typical PROPORTIONS 8 - 8 -10, then I would understand why you assumed that you have typical fire palm dimensions.

But if nobody has described any typical PROPOTIONS for a medium palm... then I can inform you that according my sense for logics regarding the C.S. guidelines (I hope you allow my to make such a point) + the results of my study... I would point out that your hands do not show the typically large palm-ratios that are seen in the proportional guidelines for a fire hand shape.

Because in the sequence 7.5 - 8 - 10... the last two numbers have a much higher ratios (in respective: +6.6% and + 33%) compared to the finger length. Because in both of your hands those ratios are completely different (-2.5% and + 28%).


PS. In this perspective I think it is interesting to hear you saying that you consider fire as overall your 'weakest element'. But that could substantiate my perception regarding the option... that the dimensions of your hand (with metacarpal palm breadth) indicate that your hand shape can very well be described as a 'mix'... with fire representing the dominant element (in a mix with air).

And I think this is actually supported by the principle that your relatively long fingers give a touch of 'air'... however, in the perspective of your palm breadth only! Because in the perspective of your palm length your fingers are by far not long enough to be associated with air, nor with water.

If this still does not make sense for you, it would be interesting to hear from your where my observations gets off-track... Smile


Anyway Lynn, thank you for sharing this + thank you for answering my question!


Thumb up + Thanks!

Hi Patti... wave

Sorry, only Earth and Water can not make a combination in reality (not Fire/Water).

And regarding the percentages, these do not take into account whether there are any matches between Lynn's hand and the typical proportions of the elemental hand shapes.

(I have described that because there are no 'matches' between Lynn's hand and the proportions that are typical for Water... that could indicate that the percentage for Water becomes quite irrelevant. But it is hard for me to make such permanent conclusions because I have not yet found a clear point of reference to make such conclusions. Therefore I have invited Lynn to discuss the photo hand examples for the 4 elements in Johnny's book: I hope these will provide some materials to make conclusion regarding which approach can best be used to discriminate 'pure' hand shapes from 'mixed' hand shapes... and who knows, maybe we can identify even a category in between... thinking )


By the way, Lynn mentioned in one of her latest posts this evening:

"Martijn, I didn't say I have fire/air hands"


Regarding the 75%, I think we should try to understand this in the spective of a typical 'medium' hand shape... which does not show any typical combinations, and therefore scores no points for any of the 4 dimensions (only negative points). So, the closer the hand proportions resemble the medium hand shape (in my perspective it has the 'magical numbers': 8 | 8 | 10 | 0.8 - see my picture),... the lower the total percentage will get (this is because I do not translate 'negative points' into a percentage, etc.).


PS. So, the percentages are just kind of an experiment at this stage. Basically, I am being confronted with a problem regarding some of the ink prints - however, since are not sure about those dimensions... it's kind of hard for me to judge the implications. This is one of the reasons why I would like to continue the discussion via Johnny's hand examples.

Well, finding your 'hand shape profile' ... should become quite easy now with the new picture below!

(After finding your 'hand shape profile', you can find the most dominant element in your hand by searching for the color that show the most similarities with your 'hand shape profile')

Smile Looks like I have described all possible combinations in my new picture (see previous post).

And it appears to be a sensible system for recognizing 'mixed' hand shapes!

(Now I will now soon present an overview for the people who have shared their hand dimensions, I will see if I now finally can add specific 'mixed' zone to the chart with the elemental axes)

... Looks fabulous. Tomorrow I will be able to finish my model by adding a few more codes + I will add the 'mix' zones in the picture with the elemental axes. The ++ | ++ | + code will move the earth category and the -- | -- | - to water category.

( cheers )

For mine, wait until I update with measurements based on the criteria you've presented. I have tried to measure my hands several times in different ways since and each time I get slightly different results. This is by using a ruler across my palm in a couple of attempts. Another was to mark ink pen spots at the different points on my hand and press quickly and firmly on paper to leave the wet ink there and then measure those dots. Laughing and tonight I printed out copies direct from the scanner and measured those and have another set of figures!

Hi Patti,

I can only recommend to use a stable measurement tool. I assume that you are struggling with the palm breadth measurment only?

PS. Chances are not very high that a (small) measurement difference will result in a different palm shape result.

In my opinion, there is not any way to measure the hand to the tenth of a centimeter, at different times, and have consistent measurements. The slightest change in hand placement, angle of viewing and the body conditions at the time will change it.

Patti, the most accurate way I have found is to lay your hand down flat on a piece of white paper and use a clear ruler. (The only problem is if you have long finger nails that block the contrast between the paper and the end of your finger).

Hi Tap,

I have mentioned that measuring hand dimensions is not an 'exact science'. So, if you have problems finding a representive measurement, the I would recommend to make a few measurements (carefully), and then you can use the average.

By the way, regarding the 2 measurements that you shared so far... those resulted in the same hand shape (according the 'shape formula').


PS. Regarding the measurements, I try to do my measurements as accurate up to 0.5 mm, this avoids that you have to choose between a rounded number of mm's. Also, I am using a 'shine-through' ruler (like the one illustrated below)... which makes it probably a bit easier to find accurate (representative) measures.

Thanks for the suggestions Tap and Martijn.

The width isn't difficult to measure. Mostly it's the length of the middle finger. I do wear my nails a little long, so the very tips of my fingers have a peak. With the nail in the way it's difficult to mark exactly where it ends on the paper below. Then while my hand is still pressed down, it's difficult to see where the finger meets the palm.

I'll try with another photocopier this afternoon.
