Idi Amin's hand reveals his lack of reasoning powers

While reading the hands of known mass murderers like Idi Amin or Adolf Hitler, one immediately looks for tell-tale signs on the hand. Perhaps Idi Amin and Hitler had some character traits in common? Well, apart from the brutish, coarse nature that they shared, they were very different people. Both Hitler and Idi Amin were aggressive to an extreme extent – such people roughshod over others to reach their goals. But the goals of these two were different and so was their thought process.

With better hand photos of Idi Amin’s hands (than Hitler’s) it was easier to understand what made him tick. 

Idi Amin had a medium-length, wavy headline and the lines on his hand though clear, tend to be a little thick. The lifeline starts almost on the Jupiter mount, and the heartline is darker and deeper than the headline. The thumb though long, has a relatively short first phalange (phalanges are the partitions seen on the inside of the fingers), and the second phalange is a little thick. The base of the hand is also a bit thick and the first phalanges of the fingers are relatively short. The second finger phalanges are long, and the third phalanges are also developed. The first (index) finger is a little curved. The Moon and Apollo mounts are the most developed and the Jupiter mount is developed to some extent.

His hand shows average intelligence, and possibly a lack of basic common sense. His hand does not show true leadership qualities, in the sense that he would find it difficult to find people who actually admired him or were inspired by him. His hand also shows a manipulating and controlling nature.

Willpower is also not shown on the hand...in fact, there is a lack of control over his own emotions and discipline as such not present. The heart rules the head and there is impulsivity as well. Besides, the basic nature of the owner of this hand is coarse, revealing a lack of tact and elementary reasoning powers. This side of his dominates and he is not concerned with any elevated or noble thoughts. That is also why materialism would matter a lot.

His hand shows a desire for power and fame but there is a lack of interest shown in mental pursuits, also a tendency to be consumed with the material things of life. And then, his temperament shows a tendency to excess in everything and so it will be for his desire for riches. However, it is unlikely that it was wealth which was a driving factor with him. His hand shows high ambition, and it was always to grab the limelight in some manner and thus, power. The way the hand is (combination of signs) shows that he will go to any extent to fulfil his high ambitions and this strong and intense ambition has been present from a very young age. 

There is an unwillingness to back down, and aggression as well and not much idealism.

If one has to sum up, Idi Amin had the unfortunate combination of extreme ambition, a base nature which was out of control, and a lack of a stable, reasoning mind. Such people usually stop at nothing to achieve their goals and have complete disregard for others...and for reason and common sense.
