Tom Cruise's hand reading

If there was a single personality characteristic that one had to pick as a reason for Tom Cruise’s success, a quality without which he would never have made it, then it would have to be charisma. That is what his hands show, what palmistry tells us. He has charisma and this gives him a persona that can charm, persuade and hypnotise. Several signs on his hand like the heavily developed Venus, the strong Moon mount, the position of the head and heart lines and the open thumb point towards this reading. Tom has the boldness and confidence necessary 
for a successful actor. Everything about acting is not about emoting, it is also about personality and screen presence and the latter two things Tom has in plenty. He has the ability to perform without being self-conscious. This is not to say he does not have acting talent. He does, it's just that the other aspects of his character is what he has used to the hilt as they have got him where he is today.

Tom Cruise has a broad palm, fingers which are on the shorter side with square tips and the Venus, Lower Mars and Jupiter mounts are fairly well developed. There is a gap between his head and life lines and it's not too much, nor not too little. The lines on his ha,nd are fine, and well-etched and medium-length. The headline starts from the Jupiter mount and slopes down in a curve while the heartline is relatively straight.

His Mercury (little) finger is long and the Jupiter (index) finger is bent.

These and other signs tell us that this is a good guy! A person with a warm heart and a friendly nature, quite people-oriented.

Tom likely began his life in a very ambitious mode with a strong desire to accumulate wealth and fame, but as early as his thirties, he probably started to change and materialism began to take a back seat. By the early forties, the materialism was almost gone. 

Such major changes in thinking in the span of a few years do not show emotional stability. Indeed, Tom can become moody and excitable and he is also aggressive and can be short-tempered.

Despite this outward strength, he needs emotional support and one cannot help but wonder whether this is the reason he took to Scientology. His relationships haven't worked out in the long term.

He can only be truly happy with someone who is available, and who is there to emotionally support him. Someone who is encouraging and supportive at all times because of an inherent weakness of character. Nicole Kidman could not have made him happy but by nature, she was emotionally distant, and not available to him at all times.

His hand shows creativity and skill. He certainly is talented. Talent, looks, plus an outgoing, bold and friendly personality are a good combination.

A lot has been said about Tom's affiliation with Scientology, but his hand does not show religious extremism. What his hands show is some moderate idealism, but not blind belief. Perhaps because Tom is moody and tends to wear his heart on his sleeve, people misunderstand him. Besides, his warm and affectionate nature would predispose him to expose his vulnerable side.

Sure, Tom has negative traits. There is a streak of stubbornness in his personality and he can be very controlling and manipulative when he wants something. That is probably his worst trait. In intimate relationships, he could be difficult to trust as he has got a scheming side to him. He is in fact always scheming and plotting. This is an odd thing for someone who has so much going for him.

This combined with his moodiness would not make him an easy man to live with. However, his good qualities could well overshadow these personality traits. If you want the same thing as Tom, he can be a very nice guy!
