Air Hand (The Thinking Hand)
Air hand type is used to help analyse the character in palmistry. The air is the element used in astrology, the air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. These people have similar traits, but not necessarily correspond with their actual sign.
This shape is also called the thinking hand or the philosophical hand. The air hand has a square palm with noticeably long fingers with conic or rounded fingertips. (Video Lesson about hand shapes here.) Please note that using the hand shape for character analysis is not completely accurate. The reason it doesn’t work in every case is that many of us have a mix of hand shapes. In nearly all cases, the hand shape corresponds to the shape of the body. For example, short fingers = short body/legs.
Pure Air Hand Characteristics
The long fingers represent thinking and love of detail and the square palm shows practicality and someone down to earth. The lines are clear but finer than on the earth hand. The square shape of the palm gives practical, realistic and down to earth qualities and the long fingers show the thinking, analytical person. This shaped hand is rarely plump. The fingertips are often spatulate, depicting some obsessive qualities.

EXAMPLES OF MIXED FEATURES (EXCERPT FROM DESTINY PALMISTRY)
Most hands have a mix of the elements of earth, fire, water, and air. On top of that, the fingertips are often not all the same either. The length of the fingers, shape of palm and fingertips, we can put together an overall summary of the character.

EARTH HAND WITH POINTED FINGERTIPS
If with pointed fingertips on an earth hand, it is not the best combination of to have. It does depict someone who is down to earth, but the practical side is weakened by the pointed tips, if, with smooth fingers, it shows potential artistic talent.

EARTH HAND WITH ROUND FINGERTIPS AND SMOOTH FINGERS
The earth hand with rounded fingertips and smooth fingers denotes someone inspirational, creative, quick thinking, intuitive and spontaneous. However, they can be very impulsive in their actions, which reduces sound qualities.
