Italy is lucky to have Georgia Meloni as the PM

Georgia Meloni, the current Prime Minister of Italy, is the first woman to be the Italian PM. She is a Conservative and one cannot help but be curious how she reached such a pinnacle in her career. She is not connected to an Italian political family and nor is she from a rich family. Only her hands can reveal what makes her such a special personality.

Her fingers are fairly well balanced with her palm (neither too long nor short in relation to the palm) and the fingers are normally set (neither high-set nor low-set). The thumb is long with the first

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

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

Wikimedia commons

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.

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

Liz Cheney - Brave and ethical

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

Devendra Fadnavis or Eknath Shinde? The better man?

Who is the more capable and better person? Eknath Shinde, today the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra (erstwhile CM) or Devendra Fadnavis, second-time Chief Minister? By capable I mean a person who will get things done and done well. By better I mean who is the better human being. Maybe both these politicians are equally capable and equally good in their character. The hand can shine a light on the truth.

Their right hands were studied as both men are right-handed, and it shows who they are today. This is not about the past, but the present.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alex Jones – Conspiracy Theorists of a different kind

There are different types of conspiracy theorists. Some get riled up because they are boiling over with an overabundance of emotion, convinced that the conspiracies they spout are true. Any shred of doubt they might feel is crushed by their ego and so doubling down on their debunked conspiracies is not a big deal for them. Other kinds of conspiracy theorists simply lie to garner fame and attention. Their imagination helps them cook up crazy theory after crazy theory. Kooks or not, they get the notoriety they crave for.

Here's a brief look at the hands of two conspiracy theorists.

JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr – reasons they aligned with Donald Trump

AI generated image

A bunch of prominent people who never liked Donald Trump are now his best buddies. Why?

Eight years ago, JD Vance, the VP nominee for the Republican party, compared to Donald Trump to Hitler, but now JD has embraced him. Tulsi Gabbard, a politician from Hawaii, a Democrat turned Independent, now endorses Trump. Robert F Kennedy Jr, called Donald Trump “unhinged” not too long ago, but is now campaigning for him.

What motivates these characters? JD Vance has been accused of changing because of ambition and greed for power, Gabbard has been accused to going wherever the wind blows, wherever she garners the most attention, and RFK Jr., known to have extreme views, wants power as well. In a nutshell, they think that Donald Trump will help them get what they want. It seems too simple an explanation for such a radical change in outlook, and a rejection of the values they held dear. People are complicated, and only the hand can reveal people's inner secrets;secrets which quite possibly even those nearest and dearest to them may not know.

The hands of these three – JD, Gabbard and RFK – reveal that

Rajnath Singh - Ordinary and yet not so ordinary

It’s always amazing when the hands of people who have risen to the top seem ordinary in so many ways. Ordinary in intellect and ordinary when it comes to true leadership, of the benevolent kind.

Rajnath Singh has good sized hands, large, rectangular palm and short fingers. The Mercury (little) finger is long, as dominant as the Apollo (ring) finger, and the thumb is fairly good and possibly a little stiff. It’s a good length and not set too low or too high, although it is held close to the hand. The Jupiter (index) finger is bent, and low-set which makes it look short. His heart and head lines are

Bongbong Marcos – a better leader than his father?

Bongbong Marcos, is the son of the disgraced ex-President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, and his wife, Imelda Marcos. But today Bongbong Marcos is the elected the President of the Philippines. Do his hands tell us that he is the chip of the old block? 

Well, genes are genes, and one does tend to inherit a personality, just like one inherits one's physical features. Yet, each one of us is still a little different, as in the case with Bongbong Marcos. It was his bad luck that both his parents were in the eye of the storm, and neither of them impressive characters. The interesting thing about parental genes is that unless the child is plucked out of the environment, there is little chance of the apple falling in another orchard.

Before getting to Bongbong’s Marcus’s hands, a note about his parents hands can tell us whether there is similarity between their hands and the hands of their son, Bongbong.

Benjamin Netanyahu – strong but changeable

Benjamin Netanyahu, popularly known as Bibi, the current Prime Minister of Israel, doesn’t have an ordinary hand. His character as revealed by his hands, is shown as strong and ambitious, with a personality which is action-oriented, street-smart and aggressive. His hand also shows Netanyahu as someone with strong emotions and also someone who is impressionable, idealistic and has great communication skills. Impressive as it seems, Netanyahu is a complex human being and has weaknesses in his character.

If one examines his hand features, what is striking are the long,

Hands of Attention-Seekers - Uorfi, Rakhi, Donald, Charlie, Rahul and Kim!

Attention-seeking behaviour is known to have psychological causes, due to low self-esteem, jealousy or loneliness, or it can be a psychological condition. All of us know about attention-seeking celebrities and maybe some people in real life as well. Why do these people do what they do? Is it a part of some grand plan or is just what it is… a desperate desire to be the central attraction?

I have selected an odd bunch of people to write about, those who

The charismatic John F Kennedy

President John F Kennedy was assassinated at 46 and ever since then, he has become a legend almost, as he impacted the minds of Americans in a way no President before him ever had or ever will. The famous words that inspired generations were: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” 

Can the hand reveal what was so special about JFK, besides his oratory? Does he deserve the reverence that he received from the American people or did he become a part of American folklore because of the tragic and senseless manner in which he died?

JFK has a good hand, and when compared to other great leaders, his hand seems a little different, and better. Of course, there can be varied opinions as to what constitutes a “better” hand, or rather, what the most desirable characteristics are in a leader. You can decide for yourself as you read on.

Rishi Sunak - a good Prime Minister or not?

There is no doubt that Rishi Sunak’s hands show that he is smart, sensible, emotionally stable and has common sense. He came to power as the Prime Minister of Britain in unusual circumstances, but now the question is whether he will do a good job and manage to steer Britain out of the problems it is in currently.

He is certainly capable of it, if one goes by his hands. He has a large hand with clear lines, the fingers are of medium length and held apart, and the palm is broad. He has rounded tips to his fingers and the first phalanges of the fingers are long, except on his Jupiter (index) finger. He does appear to have a slightly short Jupiter finger and the Mercury (little) finger is low-set although it is long. Although the mounts on his hand are developed, they are not excessively developed. The heart and head lines are balanced with each other, even if the headline is a little high and not absolutely straight. The head and life lines are joined with each other considerably before separating. 

Rishi Sunak has been compared to Barack Obama, and sure, there are some similarities in their hands in the sense that they both have large hands and clear lines. But the similarity ends there. In reality, they are both

Shehbaz Sharif - Businessman and Politician

Shehbaz Sharif is a smart man, a capable personality, with great communication ability, which includes non-verbal communication. Such people are good at reading others, and yes, are able to get things out of them. Sharif is shrewd, and eloquent, with a good understanding of how money works. It is not surprising that this man has succeeded in both politics and business.

His hand has fingers which are on the shorter side, and a palm which is slightly longish, but not too long. His mounts are overall developed, except for perhaps the Saturn mount. It is not that common to find the Apollo mount developed, and it is so in his case. Sharif has a good Saturn (Fate) line as well, which starts at the base of the hand and goes up to the mount which shows

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
