Bongbong Marcos – a better leader than his father?

Bongbong Marcos Philippines
Bongbong Marcos, is the son of the disgraced ex-President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, and his wife, Imelda Marcos. But today Bongbong Marcos is the elected the President of the Philippines. Do his hands tell us that he is the chip of the old block? 

Well, genes are genes, and one does tend to inherit a personality, just like one inherits one's physical features. Yet, each one of us is still a little different, as in the case with Bongbong Marcos. It was his bad luck that both his parents were in the eye of the storm, and neither of them impressive characters. The interesting thing about parental genes is that unless the child is plucked out of the environment, there is little chance of the apple falling in another orchard.

Before getting to Bongbong’s Marcus’s hands, a note about his parents hands can tell us whether there is similarity between their hands and the hands of their son, Bongbong.

Wang Yibo - an actor and a philosopical man

Wang Yibo
The swanky Wang Yibo is a Chinese actor, dancer, singer, rapper, and professional motorcycle racer. Quite a versatile celebrity, and one of the most famous in China.

His hand is unique, in the sense that it is large. Sure, people do have large hands, but it is not so common. That is perhaps why there are many mentions of Wang Yibo’s large hands. Large hands have significance in palmistry, but their significance can never be understood fully unless one takes into account the hand as a whole.

Sam Altman – an altruistic man for whom the sky is the limit

Sam Altman, said to be at "the frontier of discovery," was fired as the Chief Executive of OpenAI, for alleged breach of trust, and then hired again. No one is exactly sure why, although there are rumours about him being sacked due to safety concerns of the new AI technology. The company has denied these rumours. Only an investigation will reveal the truth, although

Benjamin Netanyahu – strong but changeable

Benjamin Netanyahu, popularly known as Bibi, the current Prime Minister of Israel, doesn’t have an ordinary hand. His character as revealed by his hands, is shown as strong and ambitious, with a personality which is action-oriented, street-smart and aggressive. His hand also shows Netanyahu as someone with strong emotions and also someone who is impressionable, idealistic and has great communication skills. Impressive as it seems, Netanyahu is a complex human being and has weaknesses in his character.

If one examines his hand features, what is striking are the long,

Kiara Advani – an actor with a future

Kiara Advani
It’s said that Kiara Advani is one of the most promising stars in Bollywood today. Her hand is good, in the sense it shows talent, sensitivity and a strong character. What's even better – her hand shows her to be a genuinely nice girl.

Her hand is a long one, with a big thumb and a good first phalange of the thumb. The lines are fairly clear, slightly curved, and there is a gap between the head and life lines. The Saturn (middle) finger is significantly bent although the others are not. The little (pinky) finger is relatively short if one compares it to the other fingers, and is low-set and held apart. The tips of the fingers are either conic or rounded and the most prominent mounts on her hand are the Jupiter and Lower Mars mounts, although the mount of Moon is developed too.

Her hand tells us that she is not likely to be a complex person, nor does she have a secretive, manipulative nature. Her

Taylor Swift - a unique combo of talent, balance of personality, and drive

Taylor Swift Sketch
Taylor Swift is quite the phenomenon in 2023, being the most streamed woman on Spotify! She also has 12 Grammy awards under her belt and is one of the best-selling musicians in the world. 

Her hand tells us why. She is a genius. This is not just about her talent. Usually, the word genius is used for someone with immense brainpower. In Taylor Swift's case, she can be considered a genius because of an extraordinary combo of creative talent +

Kriti Sanon - shrewd and ambitious

Kriti Sanon in a sari
Kriti Sanon is one of the notable actresses in Hindi cinema in 2023, with several hits under her belt. She is pretty and talented. What about her future? Will she last in Bollywood? She is here for nine years already and that does say something about her staying power. Whether she lasts for another decade or even another five years, depends a lot on what she wants from life and who she is.

The hand can tell us a little about who she really is. Considering that she comes from a non-filmi background, her hand will probably have a story to tell because her life took an unexpected turn and it might even tell us about how she made it in this cutthroat film industry. There are hundreds of pretty faces, but Kriti Sanon must have something special about her.

Michael Jordan – aggressive and talented

Michael Jordan Basket player graphic wearing red shirt
Michael Jordan, also known as MJ, is a self-made man and this is clearly evident on his hands, particularly in the lines of his palm. The differences between the two hands are fairly distinct, with the lines on his right, active hand being much longer. (The passive hand shows the subconscious/inherited personality traits and the active hand shows the current self). This shows that he enhanced his strengths to a considerable degree through focus and commitment.

However, although the lines on his left, passive palm are shorter, they seem to be of better quality. The fateline is also longer on the

Park Eun-bin – why is she still single?

Park Eun-bin photograph
South Korean Park Eun-bin started off as a child actor and today is quite a well-known actress in Korea. She is over 30 years old and single, and has apparently never been in a serious relationship! She says she has never dated. Beautiful and talented, and yet, no time for romantic relationships? What do her hand say about this aspect of her personality?

She has a largish palm and the thumb is conic-tipped with a strong first phalange and slim second. The Mercury (pinky) and Jupiter (index) fingers are conic-tipped too. The thumb is held close to her hand but the Mercury finger is held a little apart and is also low-set. The Saturn (middle) finger seems a little bent as does the Jupiter finger although much less. Overall, the

Hands of Attention-Seekers - Uorfi, Rakhi, Donald, Charlie, Rahul and Kim!

Attention-seeking behaviour is known to have psychological causes, due to low self-esteem, jealousy or loneliness, or it can be a psychological condition. All of us know about attention-seeking celebrities and maybe some people in real life as well. Why do these people do what they do? Is it a part of some grand plan or is just what it is… a desperate desire to be the central attraction?

I have selected an odd bunch of people to write about, those who

The charismatic John F Kennedy

John F Kennedy graphic
President John F Kennedy was assassinated at 46 and ever since then, he has become a legend almost, as he impacted the minds of Americans in a way no President before him ever had or ever will. The famous words that inspired generations were: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” 

Can the hand reveal what was so special about JFK, besides his oratory? Does he deserve the reverence that he received from the American people or did he become a part of American folklore because of the tragic and senseless manner in which he died?

JFK has a good hand, and when compared to other great leaders, his hand seems a little different, and better. Of course, there can be varied opinions as to what constitutes a “better” hand, or rather, what the most desirable characteristics are in a leader. You can decide for yourself as you read on.

Jennifer Lawrence - Bright and sensitive!

Jennifer Lawrence wavingIt’s difficult to pin Jennifer Lawrence down or get her to reveal much about herself. Her hand tells us that she is a private person and a very sensitive one at that – sensitive with great sensitivity to the environment and people around her. No wonder she is such a good actor!

She was in the news because of leaked private photos of her (the guy who did that to her went to jail for just 18 months) and after seeing her hand one realises how upset and outraged she must have been. Anyone would be, but as Jennifer is more sensitive and delicate than most people, it would have been quite agonizing; something she’ll find difficult
