The Earth Hand
Earth signs of the Zodiac are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, and are noted for being hard workers that keep their feet firmly planted on the ground. These are usually extremely honest individuals who “tell it like it is.” Like the bull, virgin and ram, which are the symbols of these signs, earth children are unlikely to compromise their own security or survival over the needs and interests of others.
The hand is strong and solid with square palms and strong, short fingers. They combine to provide an overall indication of the capable, diligent nature of the bearer. Skin is often ruddy, coarse and durable.
In some cases the dominant hand – the task-oriented hand of the individual – might reveal subtle differences in shape and refinement. This is because the passive hand holds the soul information: past lives, karmic influences and core values, while the dominant hand exhibits intentional activities of the present life. Those intentions might be directed toward developing new skills or in the extreme changing the inherent character of the individual. It is important to note the differences in order to understand whether the seeker is following their predetermined path or trying to strike out in a new direction.
In the case of the very strong and capable earth hand, intentional changes might include growing long, tapered fingernails for the seeker who wants to pursue a more artistic lifestyle or frequent exfoliation and moisturizing to change the very nature of the skin, which indicates a desire to better oneself and lead a more refined, less labor-intensive lifestyle.
For the earth sign criticism can be seen as a personal attack and they may dig in their heels to reject information that is contrary to their self-perception. Experienced readers will understand this aspect of the earth nature and will temper feedback to keep the tone supportive and straightforward. Earth signs value factual basics, so it’s important for the reader to develop a communication style that cuts through the fluff without cutting the seeker to the core.
