White hands
White hands are pale-colored hands. They rarely show any sign of blood. Instead, they express a lack of warmth, coldness, desirability, and life. Pale-colored hands portray a lack of interest in social activities and pleasantries. They don’t like to do things to please other people. The palm is white because the blood isn’t circulating adequately. Maybe they have a weak heart, which makes it difficult for blood to pump effectively. White-handed people lack passion and enthusiasm. They are emotionally cold and have no interest in love.
But they are almost mystical. People like this also have a highly imaginative and active mind, which steers them towards literature.
Health-wise, a white-handed person may be showing signs of anemia or some other dangerous blood disease. If both the palm and the fingers are pale and white, this may be a sign of hypertension. If the whiteness affects just the middle of the palm, it may mean the person is recently dealing with stomach trouble.
If someone has white hands:
They lack enthusiasm for work or relationships
They prefer to live alone
They don’t attend parties or social functions
They deal with many financial problems
They are mentally stressed
Sometimes, the white on the palm might appear bright instead of dull. Here, it means they are a little enthusiastic about their work. It also indicates a peaceful person.
Pink Hand
The pink hand indicates a healthy blood flow in the body, a sign of vitality and good health. Pink hand means that a person is warm, vibrant, and happy. They have just the right amount of blood pumping through their veins, so they do not feel pressured by overflow or weakened by an underflow. Pink may be light pink or dark pink. If someone’s palm is dark pink, it means they can be
made happy quickly. Generally, they experience and express emotions easily. They can also become angry quickly if they don’t get what they want. Their thoughts are ever-changing. They may say something now and change their mind when the time comes.
Light-pink hands mean that a person is good-natured with happy thoughts. They are patient and peaceful. Happiness is a constant for them, and people admire them for their qualities. Regardless of their condition, they are always happy and grateful. They are always optimistic. They enjoy having people around them because they believe that is the key to enjoying life.
If someone has pink hands:
They carry good luck around
They often get double the amount of their input in anything They are physically and mentally vibrant
They are surrounded by positive energy
The pink color is overall a sign of positivity all-round, from career to relationship to life as a whole.
Red Hand
If your palm is red, it indicates an intense blood flow. The redness of the palm is based on the force of the blood flow through the body. It shows a level of intensity applied to everything from business to love or social life. Someone with a red hand may have difficulty controlling his or her emotions. They lose their temper over the flimsiest issues. The lack of self-control can push them to the point of aggressiveness and even physical violence. But sometimes, it depends on where the redness is on your hand. If the redness is more prominent in the palm than any other place, this may mean they can’t control their anger. Conversely, if the red is shiny and smooth, it indicates financial prosperity and auspiciousness.
If the redness only appears in some parts of the palm, it may indicate that a person has blood pressure problems. Deep red means that the person may soon suffer from a nerve-related health problem.
They may also deal with high blood pressure and other related conditions. Red-handed people are usually hospitable. If the red is bright, it indicates that such a person likes to take a hands-on approach to solve problems and addressing their needs. This does
not mean they don’t trust or believe in other people. They just like to do things by themselves.
If someone has red hands:
They are temperamental
They have a problem with self-control
They are often serious-minded and responsible
They are prone to succeeding at things they do
Someone with a red hand needs to be careful of their temper because it makes them vulnerable to being hit by a stroke or falling ill to other conditions.
Blue or Purple Hand
The hand may be bluish or purplish looking because of inadequate blood flow. This usually means you are in poor health. Blue rarely affects temperament; it often indicates health. If your hands appear to be bluish, it may reveal a weak pulse in the heart. If the palm shows blue or purple all over, it is an indication of critical health. But if the blue only appears as spots on your palm, it means that blood flow is imbalanced in the body.
There, you are not in a critical state of health. Suppose you check someone’s palm, and you get something that shows they might have health problems. There, it is best to advise them to see a doctor instead of outrightly telling them they likely have a heart problem or something else. This is to avoid frightening them.
If someone has blue hands:
They are generally indifferent and introverted
They may be prone to heart problems
They need to pay more attention to their health They are dependent on others
Blue also suggests that a person is dealing with fear, likely irrational or not.
Yellow Hand
Yellowish palms can be a pointer to over-secretion of bile, which could lead to liver dysfunction. In the body, bile is crucial to the digestion of food. Typically, it shouldn’t be found in the blood to the extent where you can see it on your skin. When bile somehow ends
up in the bloodstream, the body perceives it as a foreign invader it must naturally get rid of. If it becomes too much in the bloodstream and eventually shows on the skin, it makes the palm assume a yellowish look. Excess bile in the bloodstream can irritate your brain and nerves. This might cause you to become cranky, moody, and cynical. Depending on how yellow your palm is, you might even become gloomy.
When you are easily irritated and unsociable, you don’t make good company. This inadvertently affects your social life and possibly your relationships with loved ones. If the yellow color goes beyond the palm to your nails and hand lines, it could mean you are dealing with a more severe condition.
If an individual has yellow hands:
They may be dealing with more than one disease
They easily attract partners
They need to check their diet and eating habit
Their health requires more attention
Yellow hands may also indicate that they are unlucky with gambling and activities related to money.
Black or Muddy Hand
Some people have blackish or muddy hand color, which reflects a life of struggles. Black indicates negativity in health, career, and relationship. It may also be a pointer to the conflict in the future. A person with black hands may face many problems in life. They are prone to health and financial problems, as well as social isolation.
Black hand is often taken as a sign of bad luck. If the blackness only appears as spots on the hand, this could be a sign of disease.
Someone with this hand color should continuously find ways to improve their physical and overall condition. Otherwise, they may live their whole life, moving from one struggle to another.
Note: Colors are not permanent. Whatever color a person’s hand shows at a specific time reflects their health and character then.
Meaning, a person’s color cannot always remain the same.
Sometimes, palms change color due to inadequate blood circulation in the body. Other times, color changes occur because of some adverse event. It helps to pay attention to your palm and watch as
the color changes. If you regularly pay mind to these changes, you can turn situations in your favor. The best color to have is pink color, which indicates good health, good character, and a quality state of mind.
I would like to note you should never outrightly diagnose a medical condition through palm reading. Whatever you get in your reading, always back it up by consulting with a licensed medical practitioner.
Don’t diagnose diseases just from palm color or texture alone.
Remember, these indices are ever-changing depending on the person involved.
Flexibility refers to the ability of your hand to adapt itself to different conditions. The flexibility of your hand reflects the flexibility of your hand. It also shows the quality and overall condition of your mind.
Basically, a flexible hand equals a flexible mind, and a stiff hand equals a stiff mind. Yet, it is not that simple. There are gray areas when examining the flexibility of your hand. When doing a hand analysis, flexibility is checked to evaluate the mental state of a person.
The flexibility of your hand is portrayed by how easily it bends backward. To examine your hand’s flexibility, stretch your right hand outward with the palms looking upward. Then, use your left hand to exert pressure on the stretched hand until it bends as backward as possible. The farther your hand goes, the more flexible it is. When you do this simple exercise, observe whether your hand as a whole is flexible or if you can only bend it at the joint of your knuckles. If your whole hand is flexible, you will find that your fingers bend alongside your knuckle joints. During your examination, you may notice there are varying degrees of flexibility. The hand can stretch back up to 45 degrees. In someone else, it might bend to where it takes some time even to straighten your fingers. It depends on how flexible your mind and your emotions are.
Usually, there are three degrees of flexibility in the hand. First, you have the standard flexibility. Also called regular or average flexibility, when you press back on your hand, it opens wide and straight to its full extent. This kind of flexibility is considered good enough in palmistry. Second, some hands form a graceful arch when you bend them back, and it doesn’t cause pain when you do this. This is considered very flexible. Then, you have the hands that don’t open up no matter how you press them backward. Even if you want them to open to their full extent, they can because of the fingers’ inability to extend. These are called stiff hands because they barely have any flexibility.
When you have average flexible hands, it means you find it easy to adapt to life. You are versatile in how you approach issues. If you have stiff hands, it implies that you don’t appreciate change. You
always want things to remain as they are. You may find it hard to change your habits or behaviors. It also means you don’t particularly consider other people’s perspectives on issues. You prefer to stick with your own view.
If your hand is what we call very flexible, that means you are very adaptable and versatile. But if you have hands like this, coupled with other features that also indicate versatility, this can pose a problem.
You may become too versatile to the extent where you can’t master one thing. Remember that saying, “Jack of all trades, master of none?” Well, that would be the perfect saying to describe you. The thumb you have may determine whether you can control your flexibility. We will refer to this in the chapter about thumbs.
Stiff Hand
People with stiff hands are typically unprogressive. They are rarely innovative because they prefer to stick to the traditional ways of doing things. They believe in working hard and saving to generate wealth. Stiff-handed people don’t think success is achievable in any other way except through hard work, saving, and deprivation. So, you won’t find them spending their money on the latest gadgets.
Though, just as their hands are stiff, their mouths are also tightly closed. You can trust a stiff-handed person with your secret because they are unlikely to tell it to another person. This is partly due to their stinginess. Yes, they are stingy, even with information. Below are traits common with stiff hands:
Closemindedness and immobility of the mind
Overly cautious of new people and adventures
Inclined to stinginess and narrowness
Lack of adaptability
Fear of adventures and new ideas

The more flexible your mind is, the more brilliant you are. This shows in the characters of people with very flexible hands. They can do many things at once. Their talents are diverse, which makes them prone to an inability to focus in one direction. If you have a flexible hand, you are likely to be very generous, sympathetic, and empathetic.
