Robert Francis Prevost, Pope Leo XIV – what's his personality like?

Are religious leaders cut from the same cloth as other human
beings? In other words, do they have human weaknesses like all of us do, or are they somehow noble or perfect in every way, and that is why they have reached the position they have? 

Their hands will reveal how great they really are. The hands of the spiritual leaders I have read on this blog tell me that it is rare to find a perfect human being, even amongst spiritual heads. Most spiritual leaders do possess something special, however. And just like amongst other human beings, it varies.

With regards to the previous Pope, Pope Francis, it was likely the intensity of his views and his unflinching commitment to the religious cause that made him special, but the pragmatic outlook must also have helped to elevate him to that position. It set him apart from the more conservative Pope, Benedict XVI.

And what about Robert Francis Prevost, who is the current head of the Catholic Church – Pope Leo XIV? Where does his greatness lie? 

Marco Rubio - how long will he last?

From the Wikipedia

Marco Rubio’s is an inspiring success story; he’s the highest-ranking Hispanic American official in U.S. history. A cursory look at his hands tells us that he is a very capable man but people are more than about capability; they are also about temperament. Rubio’s hands reveal interesting aspects of his character which can tell us whether he will be remembered as a good political leader.

Rubio has a broad, fleshy palm and the most prominent mount is that of Moon, along with Upper and Lower Mars and the Jupiter mount. The Mercury and Venus mounts are also developed. The length of his fingers, which are slightly thick and slightly bent, are well balanced with that of the palm although the Saturn (middle) finger appears to be a little short. The tips are mostly rounded. Nothing extreme in all these signs.

The thumb is of a normal length and the first phalange is slightly short but only in comparison to people in top positions, because the length itself is not abnormal and common on average hands. The second phalange is on the thicker side. The third phalange of Jupiter is a little short and the Apollo and Jupiter third phalanges are developed.

The lines on his palm are long and fine. The head and life lines are slightly separated, and the headline starts high, at the base of Jupiter, and remains high, starting to slope a little at the end. However, the headline remains between the Upper Mars and the Moon mounts and does not enter the Moon mount.

What is clear from this hand is high ambition which has been a part and parcel of who this person is. This is seen from a young age; not from childhood though. Rubio’s personality developed to be that of a confident and outgoing person (he wasn’t like this as a child). Aggression is marked on his hand, which at times can be a little too much. However, this is one of the qualities which has resulted in his success. What’s significant though is not just his outward pushiness but also his inner mental strength. He is stoic and can take much hardship. Such people are often survivors. Marco is able to keep his ego in check and push on ahead.

But is he a good leader?

The issue is not his intelligence or capability because he has that in plenty. Besides, he can see other points of view, is open to logic and has a broad view of issues and subjects. These are good qualities for success in politics. No doubt, Marco Rubio is a smart man with good judgement and plenty of reasonableness. He has a creative mind and is the kind of person who can come up with innovative solutions. He is also able to reach out to people, and this is seen more as he grows older, into his forties and later.

The problem could be that once set on something, he can roughshod over others because of his over-riding ambition. A certain crudeness of personality is also seen on his hand. He is a restless man, even a little nervous in temperament and would tend to be self-centred. He very possibly lacks the ability to carry people with him on a long-term basis. This is because his hand shows that he is not the kind of person who would inspire that kind of loyalty and trust. His hand shows weakness, the difficulty he faces in trying to carry out his ideas. 

He is probably one of the most capable people in the US government today but whether he will emerge unscathed is another story. If things go wrong, it’s either because he can see issues too clearly and cannot help but speak his mind or because he will rub people the wrong way.

You can check out other hand readings of American politicians like Mike Pence, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Sarah Palin, Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney or perhaps you would like to know more about JD Vance and Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

Mark Cuban - Idealistic Entrepreneur

The hands of Mark Cuban, the American billionaire entrepreneur and investor, speak volumes. The shape of his hand, the mounts, the fingers or the lines on his palm – all tell us a story. However, there's a lot about this man which remains hidden because for all his appearance of being open and outspoken, he is at heart, a loner.

Mark’s hand shape is quite good: the palm is broad and it’s balanced with the length of the fingers. The fingers are the correct length, neither too long or too short. A similar balance is seen with the phalanges of his fingers as well. Whether it's the first, second or third phalanges, they are neither too long nor too short. His fingers too are all of normal length although the Jupiter (index) finger is low-set, but it is normal in length. 

However, the third phalanges are a little thick except for

George Soros - philanthropic with an agenda

George Soros the billionaire is known to be brilliant, influential and a philanthropist. He is an open supporter of progressive policies and has also been the target of conspiracy theories, many of which have been debunked.

His hand has a broad, fleshy palm with medium length fingers. The mounts of Venus, Moon, Jupiter and Mars are the most well-developed mounts on his hand. In fact most of the mounts on his hand are developed. The lower (third) phalanges of his fingers, the second phalange of the thumb and the lower part of his hand are a little thick. His fingers are balanced in length although the Jupiter finger is low-set. The thumb is low-set as well.

He has fine lines. The heartline is more or less straight and does not reach the Jupiter mount and the headline is long, sloping, and ends on the moon mount.

This hand tells us that George Soros is a clear-thinking, perceptive,

Liz Cheney - Brave and ethical

Liz Cheney's ethical stance and standing up to principles will ensure that history sees her as a hero. She sacrificed her career to do this, not caving in even after getting death threats. What does this show about her character and how is it reflected on her hand?

Clearly, her actions show that Cheney is brave and ethical and these qualities are always evident on the hand.

Her hand is a good shape, squarish palm and longish fingers. The finger of Jupiter is low-set, but not short. The Apollo finger is prominent and the Mercury finger is of a good length and straight. Her thumb is of a good length too, and conic but with a strong first phalange. It’s likely to be low-set as well. 

She has long, fine lines

Devendra Fadnavis or Eknath Shinde? The better man?

Who is the more capable and better person? Eknath Shinde, today the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra (erstwhile CM) or Devendra Fadnavis, second-time Chief Minister? By capable I mean a person who will get things done and done well. By better I mean who is the better human being. Maybe both these politicians are equally capable and equally good in their character. The hand can shine a light on the truth.

Their right hands were studied as both men are right-handed, and it shows who they are today. This is not about the past, but the present.

Cardi B - hand reading of a dashing rapper

Cardi B identifies as an Afro-Latina, and is a famous American rapper, considered as "one of the most successful female artists in contemporary music". She stands out not only because of her musical talent but also her flamboyant personality. Well, as much as appears to have a loud and confident persona, that is not who she is inside.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alex Jones – Conspiracy Theorists of a different kind

There are different types of conspiracy theorists. Some get riled up because they are boiling over with an overabundance of emotion, convinced that the conspiracies they spout are true. Any shred of doubt they might feel is crushed by their ego and so doubling down on their debunked conspiracies is not a big deal for them. Other kinds of conspiracy theorists simply lie to garner fame and attention. Their imagination helps them cook up crazy theory after crazy theory. Kooks or not, they get the notoriety they crave for.

Here's a brief look at the hands of two conspiracy theorists.

Sense of Humour - can your hand show it?

Do comedians’ hands have anything in common at all? If they did, it would mean they have similar personalities … but seems unlikely, doesn't it, because there are all types of humour out there. And is there a sign on the hand which tells you that a person has a sense of humour?

I picked four world-famous comedians’ hands: Jimmy Fallon, Joe Rogan, Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert. I have not seen any of their shows, except for a couple of Colbert's shows. All of these comics possess a sense of humour, obviously, but is that quality evident on the hand? We already know that there is no such thing as a blanket sense of humour as comedians have different styles.

JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr – reasons they aligned with Donald Trump

AI generated image

A bunch of prominent people who never liked Donald Trump are now his best buddies. Why?

Eight years ago, JD Vance, the VP nominee for the Republican party, compared to Donald Trump to Hitler, but now JD has embraced him. Tulsi Gabbard, a politician from Hawaii, a Democrat turned Independent, now endorses Trump. Robert F Kennedy Jr, called Donald Trump “unhinged” not too long ago, but is now campaigning for him.

What motivates these characters? JD Vance has been accused of changing because of ambition and greed for power, Gabbard has been accused to going wherever the wind blows, wherever she garners the most attention, and RFK Jr., known to have extreme views, wants power as well. In a nutshell, they think that Donald Trump will help them get what they want. It seems too simple an explanation for such a radical change in outlook, and a rejection of the values they held dear. People are complicated, and only the hand can reveal people's inner secrets;secrets which quite possibly even those nearest and dearest to them may not know.

The hands of these three – JD, Gabbard and RFK – reveal that

Bang Chan's fingers are of medium length, with distinctly slim second phalanges. His Saturn (middle) finger seems a little short, not too much so. The Jupiter (index) finger appears to be dominant, as it is high-set and bent. Another distinguishable aspect of the fingers is that the first phalange of Mercury (pinky) finger is significantly long, although the other first phalanges of his fingers are good as well. The tips of the fingers are rounded, although the tip of the Mercury finger is more conic.

The lines on his palm are fine and long, and the unusual line is the

Rajnath Singh - Ordinary and yet not so ordinary

It’s always amazing when the hands of people who have risen to the top seem ordinary in so many ways. Ordinary in intellect and ordinary when it comes to true leadership, of the benevolent kind.

Rajnath Singh has good sized hands, large, rectangular palm and short fingers. The Mercury (little) finger is long, as dominant as the Apollo (ring) finger, and the thumb is fairly good and possibly a little stiff. It’s a good length and not set too low or too high, although it is held close to the hand. The Jupiter (index) finger is bent, and low-set which makes it look short. His heart and head lines are
