The hand reading of Xi Jinping, the Chinese President

China’s powerful President, Xi Jinping, has been criticised, particularly after the way in which China handled the Covid19 crisis. But the President's hands show that he is a compassionate leader, with a great love for his people.

His hands have developed mounts of Moon, Venus and Mars, particularly Lower Mars. The hand, squarish with a broad palm and short fingers, appears to be stiff. The fingers, on the shorter side, are straight, have short middle phalanges, good, slim first phalanges and thick third phalanges. Tips are conic, more so on of the Jupiter and Mercury fingers. The ring (Apollo) finger is a little too long and it’s possible that the index (Jupiter) finger is a little short. The heartline is dark, medium length and curved (which makes it long) but does not reach the Jupiter mount. The headline is straight and fine, fainter at the end, and overall not that strong.

These hand features tell us about a person who is down-to-earth and for whom
stability, pragmatism and security are important. They tell us that he is a straightforward and honest man even if overly aggressive and pushy. He values regularity, conformity and reliability. He is not comfortable with change, but the pragmatic person that he is, he can adapt if he is convinced that it will be useful. He is not easy to convince but he is not a vindictive man. He can become excitable but his hands show that he is warm and compassionate with an intense love for his people.

Yes, he wants fame and name, but which politician doesn’t? That is the reason why people are attracted to politics in the first place. He enjoys his comforts, but the important thing is that he is not interested in accumulating wealth. This, coupled with the honesty shown on his hand, shows integrity.

However, his hand also shows intense idealism and his reasoning ability is not that great. He can also be blunt and would be difficult to convince. This combined with his aggression means that he would not be easy to get along with, and would likely push through agendas without heeding advice. He could also have difficulty seeing the long-term view. All this shows a lack of wisdom. It is surprising that people like this rise to the great heights that they do, particularly in politics where the fate of millions depends on them.

Unfortunately, he thinks with his heart. He is emotional and this becomes significant as he is quite idealistic, with strong beliefs, and this itself points to the fact that he could go to extremes.

Xi doesn't like to get too much into the details and this can affect deep thinking; he also does not think holistically. We don't know what happened in China when the coronavirus crises hit, but it is quite likely that Xi Jinping did not go into the details. He may have the greatest of intentions, but he lacks the brain power. 

Does he want political power? Well, his actions show that he does want fame and renown but his hand is not that of a despot. Instead, it shows insecurity about the self and also trust issues. He probably grabbed power because of the crudeness present in his personality. When combined with intense idealism and a lack of long-term thinking, crudeness often produced dictators.
