The hand analysis of the Princess of Wales, Lady Diana

Strange isn’t it. Diana, the Princess of Wales was not a heir to the throne of England, but her hands show that she had some blue-blood, if not running in her veins, then certainly in her heart and soul. Whether it was poise and queenly grace that she had, or whether it was the love and care and compassion that she felt for people, this woman was a real Queen. She lost it all before she died. Her hands explain why she threw it all away and they will also tell us why her marriage to Prince Charles was doomed from the start.

Compassion
The most important digit on one’s hand is the thumb, and Princess Di’s thumb shows her deep compassion and love for people. This is collaborated by the development of the Mount of Venus.

Talent for making money
There is something odd however. Her hand shows the ability to make money. I used the word odd because this sign, the development of the second phalanges, is usually on the hands of square tipped and square, practical hands. Successful businessmen often have this sign. But Diana’s hands show her to be idealistic person in many ways, and her hand also shows her to  inward thinking (Saturn). Therefore this money making quality sits a little oddly with her, but then every individual is a hotpot of different qualities and it is what makes us all unique. If we take money making talent + idealism + a love for humanity, what do we get? But let's not connect the dots as yet...

Diana’s Sun finger is good, which gives her attractiveness, spontaneity, and even a kind of brilliance, but as the finger is a little low-set it takes away a significant portion of a person’s desire for wealth and fame...for themselves. When one connects the dots, one finds a person who can make money if she wants to, but does not really want to, not for herself that is. Her lack of love for money is collaborated by other signs, like the third phalanges of her Mercury and Sun fingers. It was natural that she would turn to raising money for charity. However even here she was not consistent, and the explanation for that is further down the post.

Her personal life
Diana may have had a fantastic public persona, and with good reason, but she was very different in her personal life. It is almost as if she had a double personality. She was not an easy person to live with. She had emotional conflicts, and only a sensitive person could have understood her.

A combination of signs including her Jupiter finger tells us that she needed attention (not just public attention) and she would have tried to get it hook or by crook. Diana lacked aggressiveness (Mars), but her hands show that she did not lack any ability to manipulate, and could in fact be cunning. Diana's hand is not balanced in this regard. By reading her Mercury and Saturn fingers in combination with her headline, it seems clear that Di could go to almost any extent to draw attention to herself, even if it meant lying.

Worse, Diana had a morbid side to her (Saturn finger) and this enabled her to see the negative side to almost everything quite easily (including herself). People with this sign usually find it difficult to enjoy themselves or be happy for long. The bad Saturn increases her tendency towards jealousy. If things did not go her way, if Di did not get the attention she needed, then she would suffer, either with jealousy, or bitterness. Quite the opposite of Charles in fact. A lot of people have written that it was he who was jealous of the attention that Diana got in public, but Charles' hands show that he is not that type. His evident displeasure had more to do with anger, rather than jealousy.

Another negative quality of Diana's was that she was not a fighter, and was in fact quite deficient in Martian qualities. She lacked a fighting spirit and staying power, and lacked aggressiveness as well. She would prefer to suffer in silence, expecting to be understood, expecting to be treated fairly. It is likely that Diana was lacking in energy as well, to some extent, and this I have read from the way she holds her hand. Such people cannot sustain any career or work for very long. This would be a dampener on the good points shown by her thumb because she would not be consistent. I have seen this sign (of a certain listlessness) on some hands of people who have emotional problems.

In addition Lady Diana was impulsive and impressionable and yet wilful. Not a very good combination. 

Charles and Diana
Diana married Prince Charles for love, but public reports indicate that they never got along. A comparison of their hands reveals why. He is a straightforward, aggressive, short-tempered and proud person while she was like a delicate flower who needed watering.

Diana had not married Prince Charles to be Queen, but to be loved and cherished like a Princess. She could have sustained a long term relationship with a man who was attentive, devoted, and loving.
