Also called: Vayu Hasta · The intellectual hand

Where on the hand: Recognised from the whole hand: a square palm carrying long, well-jointed fingers.

What it looks like: Square palm with long fingers, often with pronounced knuckles; dry skin; more lines than the earth hand but finer, not heavy. The middle finger is roughly as long as the palm.

The Air hand belongs to the mental, communicative nature — curious, analytical, sociable, energised by ideas and conversation. It needs mental stimulation the way the Earth hand needs work.
