Michael Jackson's hands reveal his strengths and weaknesses

I am a fan of Michael Jackson. However, it’s difficult for me to separate the work of a person with his persona and I had become disenchanted with Michael after reading what he had been accused of. Being a palmist I knew I could always search the net for Michael’s hand and try and find out if he was all that people said he was, but I didn’t want to do it. I liked his music too much and was afraid of what I would see.

I did it though, for this website. Luckily, plenty of photographs of Michael’s hands are available on the internet. Even better, there are photographs and videos of the lines on his hand too, although not as good as they should ideally be for a palm reading. I also found a cast of his hand with all the lines on his palm neatly etched but all lines are depicted as equally strong and this makes reading them useless. The relative strength of the lines has to be taken into account at all times. (For those who are keen to know the names of lines and mounts check the bottom of this page)

I read Michael's hand from the shape of it mostly, although the lines helped clarify and confirm and in one case gave a clue to his poor health and the danger to his life in the future. This was something he could have rectified if he had known it.

The hand reading of Michael Jackson
At first glance Michael’s hand does not look completely balanced. This despite the fact that he has good evenly placed fingers with either square or slightly conical tips, which on the face of it show a balanced personality. The problem is that his thumb is not an ideal one and his lower mount of moon is too prominent.

The size and shape of the thumb tells you the kind of will a person has. And the placement tells you what this will be used for. Michael’s thumb tells us
that he had too much will, in other words he was stubborn, almost pig headed. Unfortunately his will was not always backed by reason, despite Michael being very intelligent. Worse, he did not show much diplomacy when it came to expressing his point of view. This made it difficult to work with Michael, because his hand shows that if he had an idea he wanted to execute it whether anyone agreed or not.

Michael was also very individualistic, had original ideas and liked to do his own thing. This is evident from the placement of Jupiter finger. Quite a few people have this sign but in Michael it assumes significance because he is likely to actually do what he wants, overriding all opposition.

The double head line
Although Michael was intelligent, he was not always ready to listen to reason. This is evident from the phalanges of his thumb. His will was greater than his reasoning abilities.
All this despite Michael's head line, rather two head lines. Possessing two head lines is rare and it shows that Michael was very intelligent, almost brilliant, and was also full of ideas. However, the lines are a little too fine, and do not go with his rather fleshy hand. His head lines should have been more deeply etched, and that would have given him the mental stamina that he needed. Unfortunately, just intelligence is never enough.

The double head line is also supposed to denote a double personality.

But why was Michael so bent on doing things his own way? Did he develop this behavior because of his success?

Inherited qualities
Not really. This trait of his (stubbornness) was in his genes, but he never really had a chance to rectify this flaw in his character. Put a willful and strong headed person in an environment where he is bullied and the person tends to dig his heels in. The stubbornness increases. That is what must have happened with Michael. News reports seem to suggest that he had a domineering father.

Michael was right handed which means that his right hand showed his current thinking and his left hand his past, or rather what he had inherited. The difference between the two hands gives a clue to Michael’s inherited qualities and how they changed over the years.

Michael’s willful nature did soften a little over the years, although not enough. In fact his hands show that most of the changes in his character were positive ones. For one thing, his creative talent which can be seen from his Mount of Moon increased. True, he was born with talent, but this was an average talent which blossomed into something much greater. This can happen only due to his own hard work. His talent was not handed to him on a platter by his genes.

The Mount of Venus on his hand shows that Michael was born with a sensuous nature, and this is not a good sign. Luckily, his sensuousness reduced as he grew older.

However there is one trait of his which worsened over the years. His Lower Mount of Moon shows that his imagination often took him on a course that was unpleasant, even morbid. The high development of this mount on his right hand shows morbid thinking. This could be his feelings about people, hatred and suspicion, and also his tendency to imagine the worst. This trait was strongly etched in his character in adulthood and it would make it easy for him to dismiss another’s ideas. It would push him away from other people. And it would draw him to those who agreed with him.

Was he all that he was accused of?
People might ask, was he child molester? Frankly, there is nothing in his hands to say that he was, or even that he was not. He had a sensuous nature (reduced and controlled) and he was headstrong. Also, he found it difficult to get along with other people. People who find it difficult to get along can get very lonely and it is not surprising that he preferred the company of children. The question is, what sort of a love was there between him and the children?

Whatever it was, it is very clear is that Michael was incapable of hurting any human being deliberately. In fact Michael had a very large heart, a lot of compassion for human beings and he was the kind of person who would be shocked if he was accused of hurting anyone as it was never his intention. He always believed he was helping someone or doing good. In this respect he was a little naïve.

Other qualities
Michael had a lot of other good qualities. He was quick on the uptake, had a curious inquiring mind, he was graceful, skilful and intuitive. He was straightforward and fairly open. He liked mental pursuits, and as his Ring of Jupiter shows, had a liking for the occult. No wonder there are so many hand images of his available on the internet.

He had very good taste, and was drawn towards the Arts. He did not care too much for money. Rather, money to him was only what it could buy, not money for money’s sake.

Why the death from an overdose of drugs?
One of the signs that could help explain his drug abuse is the last phalange of his finger of Jupiter. It is thick and this means excess in fulfilling of one’s physical needs. For some people it could mean over-eating, for some it could mean drinking too much, and it is clear that in Michael’s case it was drugs. In Michael’s hands this phalange needs to be compared with other bottom phalanges. Two of his other bottom phalanges are on the thinner side which means that the significance of the thicker phalanges increases. The same sign on a different hand can have a different meaning.
His last phalange is not long however, and this means that he could have controlled his dependence on drugs, if he had wanted to.

Was Micheal Jackson doomed from the start?
Not at all. His life could have changed if he had changed the path he had taken. No one is ever doomed and nor was Michael. In fact Michael had all the advantages that someone else may not have. He had the intelligence to put his life back on the path, and he had a strong will too. If only he had managed to keep the right people about him.

Michael’s ring of Jupiter and the conic tip of his thumb shows that he was impressionable and interested in new things and new ideas. This made him susceptible to new influences.

Was his death shown on his hand?
As I have mentioned earlier, death cannot be predicted with any certainty. But both of Michael's hands show a disturbance on his life line in middle age (readers can google his hand and check this out. I cannot put the images here as they are copyrighted) and if Michael had shown me his hands I would have told him plainly that middle age was the age to look out for. It would have been possible to warn him that there was something that he was doing that was affecting his health. This sign on his Life Line must have been on his hands for years before anything really happened. But then it is always difficult to help people who don’t want help.

Conclusion
One cannot help but admire Michael's mental and creative abilities and passion for his work. This is one man who could have kept audiences happy till he was 80 years old, his talent would never have died. He would have kept re-inventing himself, he was an ideas man. Unfortunately he ruined his health.

(Next: I will be reading Mamta Banerjee's hand. I was planning to do a sports star, but now that Mamata is so much in the news and so keen to topple the Communist government I cannot help thinking: Is Mamta Bannerjee good for West Bengal? After this I will do a sports star. A reader has requested me to read the hands of either Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, and if their hand photos are available I will definitely read them. If not, then it will be Roger Federer. I have a lot of his hand photographs with me.)
