Sanae Takaichi - Is she good for Japan?

Sanae Takaichi is the first woman to become Japan’s Prime Minister. Japan is considered a patriarchal society so if a woman has risen to the top, there must be something very special about her. Is Takaichi really that extraordinary? The answer is written on her hands.

She has longish hands, with a long palm and fingers which are of medium length or may be a little long. Her thumb is long and its first phalanges are balanced with each other. The thumb is held fairly close to the hand and is likely to be high-set. 

The first phalanges of the fingers are good, although the first phalange of the Mercury (pinkie) finger seems to be the longest amongst all the other first phalanges and the tip of the Jupiter (index) finger is decidedly conic. The Jupiter and the Saturn (middle) fingers are the most bent, and the Apollo (ring) finger is long, as is the Mercury finger. The lines on the palm are clear enough, and medium length. However, as the heartline is distinctly curved, it is longer than it appears to be. The mounts of Lower Mars and Jupiter are prominent.

What her hand tells us about her character at first glance is her strong idealism and clear thinking but the hands also reveal a very aggressive and manipulative nature. The hand shows secretiveness and also, unfortunately, self-interest. In her case, the self-interest has nothing to do with getting rich but power means a lot to her. That is her driving force. The "self" also encompasses her country. When the qualities of idealism (this quality is present far more than can be considered normal) with high levels of aggression (again far greater levels than normal) and nationalism (which is what self-interest often translates into for politicians), it tends to result in a hawkish politician. 

Takaichi's hand also shows her ability to articulate well. Indeed, she is a very clever person, with a good understanding of people – a master at political play. She will not hesitate to take risks. Most of the time, she will win as she has good judgement.

As mentioned earlier, her hand shows no interest in enriching herself but fame and name is everything to her. That's probably why she chose this profession. Politicians rarely lack this quality so this characteristic can be considered normal. 

Cynicism and a high level of competitiveness are some of her other characteristics. She is not the kind of person to back down easily, although she is not stubborn and can be diplomatic, using sweet words if the occasion demands it. So her words are not always genuine.

That said, she is also someone whose heart plays a part in her decisions. This is often seen on idealistic people…their ideals being shaped by their emotions. Therefore, not everyone will see her as being logical.

Is she special? When it comes to her personality – she is. The qualities she has – of ambition, aggression, competitiveness, nationalism, idealism, and also the ability to manipulate people are all quite extraordinary. In other words, she is a winner.

So is she good for Japan? She is a capable leader no doubt but she has to be careful because she could go too far. If she does do that, then history will not remember her kindly.

Adrien Brody – the intelligent actor

Adrien Brody is listed by Time as one of the world's 100 most influential people globally. He’s won two Academy Awards, as well as a British Academy Film Award and a Golden Globe Award, in addition to nominations for Emmy Awards and a Laurence Olivier Award. He started his acting career early and often those who start careers early have some kind of genetic predisposition to the work. His parents were not actors, but he had a flair for it from a young age. Do his hands show that? 

Lee Joon-gi - the shy and introverted actor

One of the best South Korean actors today is Lee Joon-gi. After admiring his work in the K-drama series, Flower of Evil, one cannot help but be curious about his personality. Actors are private people and Lee Joon-gi is more so than most. Reading his hand is the only way to uncover the many layers of his persona. 

Lee Joon-gi has biggish hands, a broad palm and medium length fingers, with a low-set and long thumb. His fingers are mostly straight, although the Mercury (pinky) finger is bent. The Jupiter (index) finger is low-set, although it seems to be of normal length. The middle phalanges of the fingers are not too long but very slim; first phalanges are long; third phalanges are not developed, and could be on the shorter side or may be just about average. The head and life lines are joint considerably, till almost Saturn (middle) finger. The headline tends to dip downwards after some time, a little sharply. The heartline is curved, long and forked.

He is right-handed, which means the right is the active hand which shows his current personality and the left the passive, showing the subconscious and/or past traits. It is by comparing the two hands

Hand analysis of Argentina President Javier Milei

The most prominent sign on Javier Milei’s hand is the general fleshiness of the palm. The Moon mount is highly developed and a little reddish in colour. The bottom part of the hand is more heavily developed than the top part; the Lower Mars mount and Venus are developed as well. The third phalanges of the fingers are a little thick. The fingers overall are on the shorter side, though not very short, and the Mercury (pinky) and Jupiter (index) fingers are slightly bent. The palmar lines are of medium length, with the heartline quite straight. The headline seems to be fainter in the latter half. It is significant that the head and heart lines are darker than the other lines. The fateline, sunline and lifeline are all visible but lighter than the heart and head lines.

The thumb is long with a good balance of both phalanges. 

This hand shows a quick thinking, restless and action-oriented

Dr S Jaishankar – clever, passionate and articulate

Dr S Jaishankar is a prominent Indian politician, the Indian foreign minister currently. He was a diplomat once and has made a name for himself for being diplomatic, yet assertive, and for his strategic, witty and incisive commentary. There is nothing on his hand which contradicts this image. The hand, however, does tell us something more.

His hand doesn’t have too many lines and the lines which are present, are dark and long. A long straight heartline, a little low-set, and almost end to end. A headline closely attached to the lifeline and though not as long as the heartline, fairly straight and even. The lifeline, though clear, seems to be in two parts but as there were no high-res photos to confirm, can’t really read this line. Even the fateline is not clearly visible on the palm and this could be because it is not

Claudia Sheinbaum shines amongst her peers

It’s a relief to see the hands of a famous person and find out that the person deserves to be famous. Claudia Sheinbaum's hands tell us of a person who is mentally balanced, has a good heart, is intelligent and capable and is...well…just a normal human being! Decent and kind like all human beings should be. She is of course more than just this.

Claudia has a hand which is of a good size, and it has a refined texture, a broad palm and medium length fingers with a mix of conic and rounded tips. The thumb is a good length with its first and second phalanges well balanced with each other and the second phalange is slim as well. The lines on her palm are fine and the head and heart lines are of medium length. The headline slopes a little and the heart line curves somewhat. The lifeline, though closer to the thumb in the first half, goes outwards as it progresses. 

Claudia's Apollo (ring) finger is long, and

Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi - who's the worst of them all?

Mirror mirror on the wall...who's the worst of them all? Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel or Pam Bondi? You guessed right! It's a toss between first two. 

And their hands will tell us why.

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

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'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
