Fire Hand: A long hand, with longer flexible fingers, small finger bent inward or hooked, convex, oval-shaped nails. Excess yang is red and warm. Excess yin is pale and cold. Passionate, sentimental Fire persons often wear red nail polish or talk with their hands.

Those people who have a Fire hand tend to have their chi centered higher in their body than normal. Their heart and chest symptoms (and emotions!) are important. For that reason they can often be hyperactive, anxious, insomniac, or emotionally unstable. Feeling "out of sync" can become their karmic issue. They tend to be very sensitive to their surroundings and relationships; sentimental, they come from the heart. Life can be very painful for them when chi becomes stuck in the chest, resulting in chest pains from emotional issues, stimulants, exhaustion, drugs, or medications.

If you are a Fire person, respect your need for rest and recovery from stress. Try to avoid the emotional sabotage caused by others who may ask a great deal from you. Avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine and overwork. Too much of either of these can make you feel out of touch with yourself or with everybody else.
