Cardi B - hand reading of a dashing rapper

Cardi B identifies as an Afro-Latina, and is a famous American rapper, considered as "one of the most successful female artists in contemporary music". She stands out not only because of her musical talent but also her flamboyant personality. Well, as much as appears to have a loud and confident persona, that is not who she is inside.

Bang Chan's fingers are of medium length, with distinctly slim second phalanges. His Saturn (middle) finger seems a little short, not too much so. The Jupiter (index) finger appears to be dominant, as it is high-set and bent. Another distinguishable aspect of the fingers is that the first phalange of Mercury (pinky) finger is significantly long, although the other first phalanges of his fingers are good as well. The tips of the fingers are rounded, although the tip of the Mercury finger is more conic.

The lines on his palm are fine and long, and the unusual line is the

John Mayer the Musician and Player

John Mayer, a world-famous singer, guitarist, and song-writer, is known not just for his work, but also his numerous love affairs. At forty-six, he is still a player. He insists that he wants to marry, so why doesn’t he?

His hands are large, but not over-large, considering his height, which is almost six feet three. What is remarkable is that his palm is very broad and the thumb quite low-set and long, with a slim second phalange and a strong top phalange. The long, low-set thumb may be ideal for his guitar playing, but such a thumb has a significant meaning, in palmistry. It indicates will power and determination, and leadership qualities, and that’s just for starters!

The Venus, Jupiter and Moon mounts are well developed, but yet, not over-developed. His fingers are a good length, the Mercury (pinky) finger being significantly long, with a conic tip. The other fingers are well balanced with each other in length, and the Saturn (middle) and Jupiter finger is possibly a little bent. The Jupiter (index) finger has a conic tip as well, while the other fingertips are rounded. The third phalanges of his Apollo (ring) and Jupiter fingers are a little thick. The lines on his hand are fairly well-marked, with the headline long and slightly sloping but not too sloping. The heart line is not clearly visible in public photos, but it does seem that it is not as darkly etched underneath the Jupiter finger.

These hand features paint us a picture of who John Mayer is and it

Taylor Swift - a unique combo of talent, balance of personality, and drive

Taylor Swift is quite the phenomenon in 2023, being the most streamed woman on Spotify! She also has 12 Grammy awards under her belt and is one of the best-selling musicians in the world. 

Her hand tells us why. She is a genius. This is not just about her talent. Usually, the word genius is used for someone with immense brainpower. In Taylor Swift's case, she can be considered a genius because of an extraordinary combo of creative talent +

Britney Spears - level headed woman!

Britney Spears is written about endlessly and one can’t help but be curious about what her hand reveals about her personality. The media often gives the impression that Britney is vulnerable and weak, and not too sensible. But this characterisation is likely to be wrong as her hands do not show this. Britney's hands reveal a stable, sensible person. Why this contradiction between the Britney persona created by the media and the real Britney? That is a difficult question to answer but likely because the media loves writing about celebs this way.

Britney has a longish palm with fingers on the shorter side and her head and heart lines are clearly etched, although the headline shows a slight waviness. A few of her fingers appear bent, particularly the pinky which is also low-set. Her fingers are tapering at the end with a few sensitive pads. The thumb is quite good with a nice balance of the

Jeon Jung-kook - a sweet and vulnerable persona

No doubt that Jeon Jung-kook has nice hands, with his slim fingers, a wide broad palm and a low-set thumb. He is the youngest member of the famous South Korean boy band – BTS – and from what one reads on the internet, he is probably the most popular of them all. What is it about his personality that makes him so popular? Hand reading can give some insights.

Jung-kook's hand shows a pronounced Moon mount and the Venus mount is developed as well. His heartline is low-set and dips down to touch the headline and the Mercury (pinkie/little) finger is held apart in many of the photos. Jung-kook has a good Apollo (ring) finger, and it is probably the strongest finger on his hand. The first phalanges of the hand are long, significantly long, and the second phalanges are a good length too. The third phalanges are the shortest and slimmest.

The three main lines of any hand: the headline, the heartline and the lifeline are prominent. Unfortunately, I could not see either the Saturn (Fate) line or the Apollo (Sunline) on the hand

Freddie Mercury – a brilliant life cut short

Freddie Mercury was a rock star whose last days were tragic but he left behind a great musical legacy. With his incredible stage presence and incomparable voice, he became a Rock icon. He died at the age of 45, but his hand shows that his natural lifespan was a long one and he had good biological health. Had he not been struck down by AIDS, he would have lived to a ripe old age.

Freddie's lifeline was good (clear and long) but as you can see from this example, the lifeline cannot show the length of life. It can however show the natural lifespan if one is not attacked by disease or killed by accident. Of course, it is likely

The hands of M.I.A Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam

The most fascinating personalities are those who have changed because of their circumstances. And this can be made out by comparing their left (passive) and right (active) hands. The active hand is all about the current status and the passive hand is about the subconscious or inherited. 

In the case of the music star and British-Sri Lankan rapper, Matangi M.I.A. (also known as Maya)*, it is so. Generally speaking, this would indicate an unusual (and at times tumultuous) life, emotionally speaking at least. Considering she was a Tamil refugee from Sri Lanka and settled in the UK, it isn't surprising that she led an eventful life which impacted her character. 

Mathangi has longish fingers and a longish palm, and this shape points to a sensitive, vulnerable, and intuitive person, a person for whom feelings are important. Her heartline is strong, on both hands, and this fits in

The hand reading of Jackie Chan

The hands of Jackie Chan give us a glimpse into the movie star's personality, and explain, to some extent at least, certain controversial things the actor has done in his life, like not batting for freedom. 

The main features of Jackie Chan’s hand are his broad palm, slightly short, broad fingers, a dominant Apollo finger with a spatulate tip, a shortish, bent and low set Jupiter finger, and developed mounts of Moon, Venus and Lower Mars. He has a good thumb, low set, and the top phalange is a little thick, and his little (pinky) and Saturn (middle) fingers are short. His lines are finely etched and the headline slopes in its second part. The heartline is also curved and just about enters the mount of Jupiter.

Chester Bennington - Suicide and Hand Reading

Chester Bennington, a famous musician, died by suicide at 41, leaving fans shocked. Was there any indication on Chester Bennington’s hand which could have given a hint as to why he did it? Is there a clue in his personality?

Famous palmists like Cheiro have written about suicidal hands and such hands were mostly of people incapable of living a normal life due to their precarious mental state, unable to function in real life. It was rare for successful and famous people to kill themselves at the time.

Today it is more common. It may flummox ordinary people as to why a successful and famous person would want to die, but the pressures they face are high, and if their self-esteem is tied to continued success, it can lead to depression. Today, in modern times, success is transient, competition ruthless, the public fickle, and drugs and alcohol freely available and used without social stigma, particularly by the rich and famous. Whether related to this or not, the suicide rate amongst famous and successful people is rising, and some of these celebs have been known to suffer from depression and addiction issues.

It is known that Chester Bennington suffered from depression off and on from a young age, and also battled issues with addiction. Is this visible on his hand?

Kishore Kumar's Hand Reading

Kishore Kumar was a singing legend - a great and renowned Indian music star. Besides his talent, he was known to be a very loving, generous, and passionate human being. However, this post will examine another aspect of his personality which is revealed by some interesting lines on his hand. it is quite fascinating from the point of view of Palmistry.

While it is well known that he had a turbulent personal life (4 marriages), and this is very unusual in India. It is less well-known that he was also considered a little eccentric, as this Wikipedia article says. 

Interestingly, he has a double headline on his hand. While a double headline can show more than ordinary intellect/capability, it can also explain

Can Lindsay Lohan's addictive behaviour be seen on her hand?

Addictions can be of any kind, and famous stars like Lindsay Lohan (alcohol addiction), Philip Hoffman (drug addiction), David Duchovny (sex addiction), and Chris Brown (anger management) are just some examples of celebs who have been in rehab for addictive behaviours. Are there any signs on the hand which can give us a clue as to the root cause of their addictive personalities?

Lindsay Lohan has plump, conic-shaped fingers, with the third phalanges noticeably thick. The palm is broad, but rectangular, and the fingers are on the shorter side. The top phalange of her thumb

Amy Winehouse - did she have suicidal tendencies?

A lot has been written about celebs and suicidal behaviour. Experts have suggested that the very quality that makes a person strive for fame (self-obsession) could be a factor in their suicidal tendencies, perhaps if life does not go according to plan. It is suspected that Robin Williams was adversely affected by the diagnosis of Parkinson’s, more affected than an average person would be, because he was famous. He couldn't come to terms with the fact that this is how his life would end and who he would become.

This self-obsession is bound to exist amongst ordinary people as well because after all everyone is ordinary until they achieve fame! And more people fail to achieve worldwide fame rather than succeed at it.

However, if suicidal behaviour and fame are connected through psychological characteristics, then there would be more people who do not achieve fame even after striving desperately for it, and so this self-obsession should exist in their personalities too, as in the personalities of non-celebs. If anything, rich celebrities

Hand Reading of Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga* is well-known for her philanthropy as well as her singing, and the philanthropy part is clearly marked on her hand. Her left hand (she is left-handed) clearly shows that this feeling (of wanting to help the underprivileged) comes from deep within her. She may not come across as immediately warm or

The hand reading of Miley Cyrus

Fragile is what leaps into one’s mind after looking at Miley Cyrus’ hands. No, this doesn't mean that she has a particularly weak personality; just sensitive. Although she is sensitive herself, she has a tendency to be direct, not diplomatic. Not that she is boorish, not at all. It’s just that she likes to get to the point, preferring realism over rhetoric. However, her expressive abilities are good and she can

Is Justin Beiber as innocent as he looks?

Looking at Justin Beiber’s cherubic and happy face makes one believe that he is an innocent. Does he have this carefree and happy personality in real life? Palmistry tells us otherwise. It takes a while for a personality to become etched on the face, and in Justin’s case, it will take several decades. Justin's sweet grin hides a deep seriousness of personality.

One striking feature of his hand is

Rihanna's hand reading

Palmistry can tell us a lot about a person's character, and Rihanna's hand reveals that she is a smart, capable woman, driven strongly by worldly ambitions. However, she is of an idealistic disposition as well, and this makes her a little complex and contrary.

The main features of Rihanna’s hand are her long head and heart lines. The headline is straightish, although it is a little wavy as well. The heartline ends in between her first two fingers. In addition, there is a wide gap between her head and heart lines as also between her life and head lines. The lifeline sweeps across the Venus mount and is broken. Her headline too seems to have tiny breaks, giving it that wavy appearance. She also has a Mercury line, and also the Girdle of Venus. Her fingers are long and tapering and the Mercury (pinky) finger is low-set. The other fingers are of normal length. The thumb is also long and tapering and held close to the hand. The mounts of Venus and Jupiter are the most well-developed mounts. The mount of Moon also seems developed, being more high than wide.

An image of Rihanna's hand is here. To read hands, I usually check out scores of photos but give links to only a few.

Rihanna is idealistic, maybe a little too much and thus will not like to compromise even when something is in her own interest. It is not as if she expects too much from people or puts people on a pedestal, it’s just that she has certain principles that she swears by, particularly in relation to her work.

When it comes to talent, Rihanna’s hand shows above-average talent. Her greatest asset is her bold and confident personality which is well suited to the stage and to the entertainment industry. Her hand also shows charisma and sex appeal, a rare quality any star would consider an asset. By itself, this quality would enable her to hog the limelight.

Rihanna has some inner demons that are likely to trouble her. Her intense emotional sensitiveness, secretiveness, idealism, are not that great a combination for peace of mind although she has a stable and sensible approach to things mostly. 

Her hands show her to be a compassionate human being, and people-oriented, but she is not that easy to approach. She could be a little difficult to live with. Her hypersensitiveness and moody nature along with her cynicism would be hard to handle. Being critical and dissatisfied is another quality that would make it difficult to understand her. There is a tendency of jealousy towards those more talented than her, one of the several reasons for her dissatisfaction.

Her hand shows periods of intense stress in the childhood and teens and also later. Every time she bounces back. 

After the first break, the headline continues strong, showing a good recovery. She is likely to have several crises in her life but our future is not fixed and Rihanna can take some basic precautions.

She has to be careful while taking decisions as some of them might be sudden and rash. She may not listen to advice. Besides,  emotions play a big part in her decision-making. There is also a certain naivety in her personality that exacerbates the situation. She needs to set the over-confidence aside, keep her emotions under control, keep a cool head, and not make any decisions unless they are well thought out. In this way, she can avoid any impending crisis.

But does the future really change? That is what a reader who firmly believes in fate asked me. My answer is that yes, a hundred per cent of the time! We are the master of our own fates. However, if we continue with faulty driving, we will not avoid accidents. The worst thing is to say it is "written" in my hand or birth chart and therefore it will happen. If someone tells you that if you don't drive carefully you will have an accident, you don't say oh no, I'm going to continue to drive rashly because whether I have an accident or not has nothing to do with my driving, it's written is my Destiny! 

We are lucky that our hands show us the pot-holes along the way if only we pay attention to them.

Jennifer Hudson's hand reading

Jennifer Hudson’s broken headline has been interpreted as being caused due to the shock of a personal tragedy (the murders of her mother, brother and nephew) and perhaps it is so. However, as her headline does not break at the precise time when the tragedy took place (age 27), the answer is a bit more complicated than that.

I would interpret Jennifer’s headlines as two headlines, rather than a single

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley

Lisa Marie Presley's personality was quite a complex one as was her relationship with Michael Jackson, to whom she was briefly married. She had talked about her split with him on the Oprah Winfrey show (originally aired in October 2010). Lisa claimed that Michael pushed her away, built a wall of sycophants around himself and she had no place in his life. She also that he was a very manipulative person. This is likely to be true as it can be seen in his hands. But at the same time, Michael Jackson was very vulnerable, very sensitive, and a lost soul. 

It seems strange this Lisa Marie did not see this. She was married to him and was supposed to know him better than anyone else. I could not help but think that the whole picture was not

Beyoncé Knowles - hand reading

Beyonce’s hand looks beautiful from an aesthetic point of view. However, a beautiful hand does not necessarily translate into a great personality. The positive aspects of Beyonce’s hand are that she has fine lines, a good palmar texture and mounts which are not heavily developed. What this shows is that she is a refined, dignified, sensitive, diplomatic and sophisticated person who is
