Pope Benedict XVI's personality as seen from his hands

Pope Benedict XVI is known as a person with strong views, and this aspect of his character leaps out at you from his hands. The colour and texture of the palm, the thumb and its phalanges, the heart line as well as the seeming lack of suppleness of the hands - all point to it. Several signs pointing to the same trait intensifies the strength of the reading.

Interestingly, there have been significant changes in his personality over the years. This usually means that the person has changed the course of his own destiny and carved out his/her own path. This usually happens either because of circumstances and/or because the person has made a conscious effort to change himself. Baba Ramdev's desire for fame alongwith a slight selfishness was always present in his character (Apollo finger, shape of hand) but a facet of his personality that has developed

Rafael Nadal - Hand and Finger Analysis

All great sportsmen are strategists. Some are better than others, and Raefal Nadal’s hands show that he is one of the better ones, even better than Roger Federer. True, he does not plan as much, nor does he go that much into detail, but Nadal’s hands show unusual shrewdness. More important, he can think and act quickly. He is flexible, takes instant decisions, and that too almost intuitively. Nadal has strong qualities of

The hand reading of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar doesn’t claim to be a Godman although his official website does call him "His Holiness." His claim to fame is that he is a spiritual guru. What do his hands say? Is he genuine or not? If not for hand analysis it would be a difficult question to answer in an objective manner. Well, even a cursory look at Sri Sri’s hands show him to be a thinking person and a compassionate human being. However, there are other facets to his personality.

The Hand Analysis of Bill Gates

As you all know Bill Gates is not your average Joe. He was not born that way either. He was born gifted. Gifted with a fine brain plus the talent to make money. He didn't squander his inheritance. He developed all his good traits, and more. Some traits developed in him over the years because of the path he chose. The analysis of his hands reveals to us what Gates is all about.

Almost every sign in his hand tells us of his sense of balance.The shape of his hand tells us that he views things in a broad perspective. The way he holds his fingers and thumb emphasizes this sense of balance and tells us that he does not hold extreme views. His excellent finger of Saturn, which is the balance wheel, tells us about his wisdom and prudence, as well as trustworthiness, strong focus, and dependability. The head line confirms the common sense that he has in plenty. And although he thinks brilliantly and independently,

Shashi Tharoor's hands tell us the kind of politician he is

Shashi Tharoor’s hands show him to be a man who enjoys mental pursuits and that qualifies him to be an intellectual. However I have not been able to see the lines on his palm clearly and cannot confirm it. The shape of Tharoor’s hands and fingers do give a fair idea as to what kind of a person he is though.

The secret of his success
Success depends a great deal on personality and Tharoor (Minister of State for External Affairs) has a strong personality. His above average will-power, strong dominating will, ability to command others with a purpose, as well as good reasoning powers, judgment and common sense are all seen on his thumb.

Roger Federer's hand analysis

Roger Federer is an enigma to many. His hands give us an idea as to what kind of a person he really is. He is a complex personality – a person who seems calm and controlled to the world, but who is coiled up like a tight knot inside. Skilful and talented but vulnerable and soft inside.
