The consistency of hands allows you to discover more about energy levels. How active are you?  Can you keep going twenty four hours a day or do you like to take things a little easier.  Perhaps you find it difficult to stir yourself into any action at all?  How much energy do you and your partner have?  Prod those palms to find out!
Does the palm feel solid and hard?  Lots of strong resistance?  If it is then you are looking at a person with energy to spare.  He might be a little inflexible in his attitude, but he’s got energy, and lots of it!Some palms are elastic, they depress when you touch them, but then spring right back like India rubber.  This is an elastic consistency, and reveals a person who has lots of vitality, and more than enough enthusiasm to see him through any undertaking. He’ll keep you on your toes, just be sure you can keep up!
Lots of palms are soft but reasonably elastic.  Is this your partner?  If it is, your partner  is gentle, enthusiastic, and responsive but can stir himself for anything he puts his mind to. Be ready to take a breather occasionally though, for the softer handed person appreciates the occasional break from physical exertion. If your partner has soft, podgy, doughy, squidgy hands, the type where you can barely make out the bones in the hands,  I’m afraid he is all talk and very little action, for this is the hand of the sensual dreamer.  The more podgy the hand, the more sensual, the more dreamy, and with no real inclination or desire to stir himself unless it’s really all worth the bother.
