Hands, shaking - symbolic interpretation of this gesture
You meet up with someone for a chat or a meal together, or to discuss a possible job: more often than not you start by shaking hands, and so you create a connection. One hand represents the masculine, emissive principle and the other, the feminine, receptive. If you both make this gesture consciously, each hand plays its part, and the result is an active harmony. Two people who shake hands show they wish to understand each other, to agree to walk the same path. Yes, provided that, symbolically, the energy of one hand is positive, the other negative. When both hands (that is, both people) are active and positive, they can only come into conflict. When both hands (again, both people) are passive, they will do nothing. The act of shaking hands always implies the wish to bring about ordered activity - it means 'I want to try having exchanges with you; let's see if we can work together.' But how many people come together with no concern about understanding the language of hands! They should not be surprised if their undertaking ends in failure.
