John Lee - his hands reveal his mental strength and cleverness

John Lee is slated to become the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. A quick look at his hand showed promise of it being an interesting read.

Lee has shortish fingers and a large, fleshy palm with prominent mounts of Moon, Venus, and Mars. The fingertips are rounded, except the Mercury (pinky) finger which is conic and low-set as well. The first phalanges are good, but not the second phalanges. The thumb is a good length, with an even balance of the first and second phalanges, even if it seems to be held a little close to the hand. The hand is rectangular in shape and the lines are finely etched, with a long headline.

An aspect of his personality that leaps out from his hand is his

Volodymyr Zelensky - an actor and a politician

You might think that actors and comedians shouldn’t become politicians because they aren't suited for politics…but don’t be too sure. Actors have always dabbled in politics in many countries including America and India, and of course…Ukraine.

To say that actors make good politicians would be stretching it…but to say that some qualities that actors possess could make politicians very successful – that’s likely. For example, charisma and a desire for fame and name and of course…acting ability. Politicians wear a mask – they have to. It’s in the very nature of their job.

To be fair, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's President, is more than just an actor. His hand

Madhuri Dixit - sweet and determined!

Madhuri Dixit reached the top in Bollywood and then about two decades ago gave it up temporarily to lead a family life. She has always been known as not just one of the most beautiful actors in the Hindi film industry but also one of the most talented. She is in her fifties now, but is still quite active in her profession. Curiosity about her never wanes and this hand reading has been much delayed.

Her hand is not too much of a surprise. Madhuri has long fingers, a slightly longish palm with slim slightly pointy finger tips. The thumb is long with a long first phalange and the lines too are long, uniquely so. The headline is joined considerably with the lifeline and goes across the hand, sloping a little. The heart line too is long, crossing the Jupiter mount and going to the edge of hand. The lifeline is long too, reaching the base of the hand and the fateline commences at the base of the hand and reaches the Saturn mount.

Her hands reveals a personality which is idealistic and impressionable. She is a person who has strong ethics in life, knows who she is, and is likely to stick to her principles even if not all that practical. Yes, this can mean losing out

Mao Zedong –Wise or Wicked?

Mao Zedong, also known as Chairman Mao, is a famous historical figure, but controversial. He is revered in China by many, but there are those who want him to be held responsible for human rights abuses.

What does his hand tell us about this man, hailed as a hero? He was the founding father of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which he ruled from 1949 until his death in 1976.  No one can deny that he ruled with an iron hand but was Mao a great wise man as well, as some people firmly believe? 

Mao's hand has a large palm, more rectangular than broad, and his fingers as compared to the palm are on the shorter side. The first phalanges of his fingers are not particularly long but the third phalanges are thick and long. The fingertips are mostly rounded but the Jupiter (index) fingertip is conic and the Mercury (little) fingertip is almost pointed. The Apollo (ring) finger dominates and is longer than normal, and the Jupiter finger is low-set although it is difficult to say whether it is shorter than normal.

You can check out his hand photos here, here, and here, and that of his left hand, here.

The lower part of his hand is also developed, particularly the Moon mount. The Mars mounts are either underdeveloped or developed slightly. The thumb is medium set, and a good length, and its second phalange dominates. The head and heart lines are a little curved and the heartline is considerably low-set. This creates a narrow space between these two major lines, although mostly underneath the Saturn (middle) and Apollo fingers. The head and lifelines are joint.

It is not surprising why Mao's reputation is so controversial. It is so because Mao was a complex man. Unpretentious, simple and seemingly self-effacing he was, but he was also the kind of man with a tendency to suppress his emotions and allow his head to rule. 

His hand shows very good executive ability. Mao was a doer and this is a dominant feature of his personality. Fame and name mattered to him a lot, maybe to such an extent that he would take bold steps, maybe risks, to achieve it. This was the driving force of his personality. 

Yes, idealism is shown on his hand but this is limited, and it was probably used to further his main aim, which was to garner renown. He had the power of words behind him as well, rhetoric – very clearly seen on his hands. However his thinking was not broad thinking, and in the middle years of his life, it was probably quite narrow thinking.

Mao's interest in being rich was absolutely zilch. 

He had the penchant for being moody, solitary and very restless, inspirational and imaginative. His hand also reveals a certain coldness of temperament.

Mao wasn't an intellectual and there was a crude side to his personality. Also, ethics and/or morality was not high in his scheme of things. He probably considered these esoteric values, not practical; simply obstacles to getting things done. What this means is that he would likely go to extremes to get his way. There are fewer barriers for people with hands like this as instincts tend to rule. His hand shows limited self-control as well. As action-orientation is another major feature of his personality, he would take action without too much mulling over the consequences. The main thing would be to get the job done and the end justifies the means kind of attitude.

He was not overtly aggressive, however, and possibly not the kind who would get his hands dirty. His outwardly demure persona could have a way of disarming his enemies and also help him connect with the common people. Lack of pride and arrogance would have helped him get his work done.

Saddam Hussein's hand – does it show that he was evil?

One assumes that the hands of men known for their evil deeds will show a hand with an evil personality. People do evil deeds but there is no hand which is evil per se. If one comes across a person who does bad things, the hands usually show a selfish, out-of-control personality, someone with a brute will and strong impulses. People are not usually heartless. They are just out of control.

There are several hand readings of dictators on this website, and each of these characters tend to be different from each other although almost all of them have a base, primal side to their nature. What this means is that the instincts prevail and dominate and these people give in to these primal instincts. You will find such people in everyday life as well and they usually land up in prison if the country they live in is not lawless. If people of this type come to power, as they do in weak countries, they will destroy the very fabric of society, cloaking their criminal behaviour in either religious or political ideology.

Saddam’s Hussein’s hand shows the base of the hand developed, with heavy Moon and Venus mounts. The Lower Mars mount is developed as well, and the Apollo (ring) finger is long, too long. The thumb is of average length and possibly a little low-set with an average first phalange which bends backwards. The second phalange of the thumb is a little thick and quite long. The fingers are fairly straight with tapering, rounded ends. The Jupiter finger is quite low-set. There aren’t too many clear pictures of Saddam’s hand available on the net, however.

You can check out his hand photos here and here.

In Saddam’s Hussein’s case, there doesn’t appear to be a religious bent of mind. His hand in fact shows is a man who hungers for

Jun Ji-hyun's personality from her hands

Jun Ji-hyun, an award-winning Korean actress and model, rose to fame in the 2001 romantic comedy (film) called "The Sassy Girl." Since then, she has delivered many hits in the Korean film and television industry. 

From her hand, it becomes obvious that Ji-hyun's personality shows a natural style of acting. Her boldness, lack of inhibitions while acting and the ability to slip into any character she plays are evident on her hand. Her ability to mimic is extraordinary.

Jun Ji-hyun has a long hand with long fingers, and her Mercury finger, in particular, is very long. The lines on her palm are fine and delicately etched and there is at least a part of a Girdle of Venus present above the heartline. Her heartline is very long, reaching almost to the base of

Song Hye-kyo's personality through her hands

Song Hye-kyo, a beautiful and talented South Korean actor, is very popular in South-East Asia even now, after being in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. She is one of the highest-paid actresses in Korea today. 

She has soft, refined looking hands, with long, tapering fingers and long, fine lines. Her thumb is long and held close to the hand. While the Moon mount is developed, the Mars and Venus mounts are not. She has a curved heartline rising to a place in-between the first two fingers, a long slightly curved headline (attached to the lifeline) going near to the edge of the hand. The Saturn or Fate line on her hand is long too, starting near the base of the hand and reaching up to the base of the Saturn finger. 

Her hand shows her to be very sensitive and to some extent, an introverted, impressionable personality. She has a tendency to be secretive and is also a private person. She is not outwardly warm,

How different are Andrew and Chris Cuomo?

Andrew Cuomo, the ex-governor of New York, has been in the news lately with sexual harassment allegations and unfortunately his brother Chris has been accused of inappropriate behaviour as well. Their personalities are however quite different as shown by their hands.

Andrew Cuomo’s hand shows a person who is passionate, at times volatile, and also quite impulsive. There is intensity and energy in the moment, the kind of intensity can be very useful when one is focused on a goal. Such people give their everything when they set their mind on something. The flip side is a difficulty in seeing the other side, and it can at times result in bullheadedness. Yes, the hand also shows warmth and

Jeon Jung-kook - a sweet and vulnerable persona

No doubt that Jeon Jung-kook has nice hands, with his slim fingers, a wide broad palm and a low-set thumb. He is the youngest member of the famous South Korean boy band – BTS – and from what one reads on the internet, he is probably the most popular of them all. What is it about his personality that makes him so popular? Hand reading can throw up some insights.

Jungkook's hand shows a pronounced Moon mount and well, the Venus mount is developed too. His heartline is low-set and dips down to touch the headline and the Mercury (pinkie/little) finger is held apart in many of the photos. Jungkook has a good Apollo (ring) finger, and it is probably the strongest finger on his hand. The first phalanges of the hand are long, significantly long, and the second phalanges are a good length too. The third phalanges are the shortest and slimmest.

The three main lines of any hand: the headline, the heartline and the lifeline are prominent. Unfortunately, I could not see either the Saturn (Fate) line or the Apollo (Sunline) on the hand

Hyun Bin – what is his personality like?

Hyun Bin (real name: Kim Tae-Pyung) is arguably the best-looking actor in South Korea, and talented too. He has been acting for over 15 years now, with a series of hits under his belt, the more recent one being the romance series, Crash Landing On You, streaming on Netflix currently.

His hand is a good one, with a broad palm, a bit fleshy, more so because of the well-developed mounts of Moon and Venus. His heart and head lines are balanced with each other, well etched. The headline is attached to the lifeline considerably at the beginning. The heartline has a wide fork at the end although the fork is not as dark and strong as the rest of the line. The fateline starts with a fork with one branch either attached to the lifeline or there is a line connecting the fateline and the lifeline.

His thumb is a little low-set, with a good balance of both the phalanges. Overall, Hyun Bin’s first phalanges are long and the second phalanges are average in length. The Saturn (middle) and Jupiter (first) fingers are a little

Takeru Satoh's hands reveal his talent

Takeru Satoh is known to be of a calm, humble, down-to-earth temperament. Do his hands prove that his personality is actually like that?

Takeru Satoh is a 32-year old Japanese actor, from a film industry that is one of the oldest in the world and the fourth largest in terms of the number of films. He is known for his leading roles in the Kamen Rider Den-O franchise and in the live-action Rurouni Kenshin films.

His hands have large, broad palms and fingers which are more long than short. The Apollo (ring) finger is dominant. Two fingers, the Saturn (middle) and Apollo (ring) fingers have spatulate tips though this is more pronounced on his left, passive hand. The first phalanges of his fingers are long and the thumb is a good length, with a normal length of the Will (first) phalange and the Logic (second) phalange.

The Saturn (middle) finger looks a little short as compared to the ring finger and interestingly, Takeru wears

Lee Min-ho's personality from his hands

Lee Min-ho, a famous actor from South Korea, is considered one of the most good-looking and successful actors out there, and is a top Hallyu star as well. He has been in the entertainment industry since 2003. As he is only 34, he still has many good years ahead of him

He has beautiful fingers, slim and tapering, with good first phalanges. The fingers aren't long as compared to his palm and they are quite balanced with each other. The Jupiter (index) fingertip is conic, maybe even pointed, but the other fingers have conic or rounded tips. His fingers are straight, except perhaps his Saturn (middle finger). The Jupiter finger is low-set and also seems a little short as compared to the Saturn. Both his Apollo (ring) and Saturn fingers are of a good length.

Min-ho also has a large, fleshy palm, rectangular in shape and fine lines. His thumb is normal with balanced first and second phalanges, although it appears to be a little high-set. The mounts of Moon and Venus are very pronounced and dominate his palm.

The lines are not that clearly visible in the photos available on the net but from whatever little one can see, the headline starts high and straight but dips down into the Moon mount halfway through its length. The heartline is not too long. The lifeline is fainter in the last half. A second fateline starts from the Upper Mars mount.
