The hand reading of Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister

Silvio Berlusconi, an Italian media tycoon and politician, was once the Prime Minister of Italy. His hand shows that he is an emotional and passionate man and also an intelligent one. It is because of his sharp brain and shrewdness that he succeeded as a businessman, and later as a politician. But if one has to say which career he is more suited to, business or politics, then politics would be the winner.

The first thing that strikes one from looking at his hand is the development of

almost all his mounts. His headline is long and straight and a few third phalanges are thick. His finger of Mercury (little finger) is longer than normal as his Apollo (ring) finger. The second phalanges of his hand are average but the first phalanges are good. The Moon, Jupiter and Mars mounts are all well-developed. The Venus mount is more developed on his passive (left) hand.

His hand features point to a temperamental and excitable person. Such a hand may not be an ideal one for a businessman to possess. However, his hand also shows common sense, intelligence and pragmatic nature. Plus, he is of an economical bent of mind, which is again a good trait in a businessman. However, his hands do not show a very strong business ability or money-making ability, although shrewdness and ability to evaluate people are evident on his hand. He is more of an intellectual.

Creative Talent
He has imagination and a creative mindset but original thinking is not present. There are some set ways of thinking which can hamper creativity.

As a politician
To do well as a politician, Berlusconi's shrewdness would come in handy. Besides, he has a strong will and also leadership qualities. He can be moody though. 

Politics will suit his temperament in more ways than one. There is that need he has, or rather the craving he has, for power and control. A career as a politician would satisfy this need. This quality seems to be an inherited one. Whichever path he had chosen, power is what he would want, whether it was in business or in any other career. Unfortunately, he did not have the immense talent it would have required to become the highly powerful businessman that he would have wanted to be.

Not just power, his disposition is such that he enjoys the limelight.

Berlusconi's basic temperament is a good one. He is the happy sort, quite spontaneous, charming, and possibly brilliant too. He is the kind who loves beauty and art.

He likes to do things independently and has a strong reasoning ability and excellent determination. Temperamental he may be, but his head is firmly on his shoulders and people like him naturally rule because they know exactly what they want, are active and energetic, and can connect with and lead people.

Silvio Berlusconi's hands show that he is quite aggressive and pushy and also has a temper. He can be a little secretive, although he has become far more open than he was earlier. These qualities can make him difficult and intimidating. He is the type unwilling to take no for an answer. The good aspect of this is that he is a tough man and mentally very strong, clear-headed and a fighter.

Berlusconi's hand shows that he inherited a very warm and compassionate nature but it decreased as he grew older. This can be seen if one compares his left passive hand to his right active hand. Ego and the self have become more important, power has become more important, although he is not inherently a selfish man.

Overall Silvio  Berlusconi's hand is the hand of a successful person. He has a good mind, can see things as a whole, is a man of action and is a good decision-maker, even if he tends to be impulsive at times.
