Michael Jordan – aggressive and talented

Kelin Clement Pixabay)

Michael Jordan, also known as MJ, is a self-made man and this is clearly evident on his hands, particularly in the lines of his palm. The differences between the two hands are fairly distinct, with the lines on his right, active hand being much longer. (The passive hand shows the subconscious/inherited personality traits and the active hand shows the current self). This shows that he enhanced his strengths to a considerable degree through focus and commitment.

However, although the lines on his left, passive palm are shorter, they seem to be of better quality. The fateline is also longer on the

Why is Novak Djokovic less popular than Federer and Nadal?

When one looks at any hand, a couple of things usually stick out and in the case of Novak Djokovic, it's his shrewdness and the edgy, defiant quality to his personality. If one compares his hands to other tennis greats, Roger Federer for example, Federer’s hands reveal an inner vulnerability of character and a cool intellectualism with a touch of cynicism. When it comes to Rafael Nadal, it’s his cleverness, agility and immense generosity of spirit that stand out.

Coming back to Djokovic's hands, they have broad, heavy palms and short fingers and well-developed Venus, Lower Mars and Moon. His Saturn (middle) finger is a little shorter than normal and both the Jupiter (Index) and Mercury (pinky) fingers are bent. The first phalanges of Mercury and Apollo (ring) fingers are good and the thumb is good, with a normal balance of the first and second phalanges and it is likely slightly low-set. The fingertips are rounded and the headline starts a little high and then slopes down across the palm. There is a gap between the life and headlines on the right, active hand but none can be seen on the left, passive hand. There are other differences between the passive and active hand. The Girdle of Venus is well marked on his passive hand but in most photographs of the right hand, it's missing, which means there must be a fainter version on the right hand. The heartline is longer on the passive hand, the life and headlines are joined and the Moon mount is not developed. That's a lot of differences!

What do such differences between the two hands usually mean?

Muhammad Ali was humble at heart

Muhammad Ali proclaimed himself to be great and then went on to prove it. He was a flamboyant personality, known to brag about his achievements, past, present and future. That is probably why people think of Muhammad Ali as someone with high confidence levels and a big ego. His hands tell a different story.

Ali had a fleshy hand, with a rectangular palm and pronounced mounts of Venus and Moon. Lower Mars is developed, but not Upper Mars. His fingers are not

The hands of The Rock: Dwayne Johnson

Writing about Dwayne Johnson’s hands isn’t easy as most of his personality characteristics are well known to the world. He is an open person, perhaps that is why. What new character attribute can his hands reveal? Maybe one can find something on his hand that isn’t so obviously known or something which doesn’t fit his known personality.

Dwayne is a tall man (he is six feet four inches in height) with large, fleshy hands and broad and wide palms, a low-set widely held thumb and heavily developed Moon and Venus mounts and Mars too. The lifeline, slightly apart from the headline, sweeps across the developed mount of Venus, going wider into the palm as it goes forward. These signs reveal his

Virat Kohli's personality reading

Virat Kohli’s hand with its broad square palm and the well-developed Venus mount, shortish fingers, strong Upper Moon, good thumb, and strong main lines, shows a healthy, energetic, creative, talented and hardworking individual, with a loving, warm and generous personality. His hand has few lines, and they are good, unbroken and without defects. The Jupiter (index) finger is a little short and the thumb is long. The thumb's phalanges are balanced with each other, and the first and second phalanges of the fingers are good. 

Overall, his hand shows focus, self-control, and clarity in thinking, and this adds to the determination shown by the thumb. It’s not just that he is just good at what he does, he is

Maria Sharapova's hand reading

Maria Sharapova is a well-known Russian tennis player, formerly the World's Number 1 player. One would expect that her personality and life (as seen on her hands) would reveal not just her talent and success, but also a life which is happy and fulfilled. Well, it is not exactly like that.

The shape of her hand and fingers

Mike Tyson's hand reading

In the case of Mike Tyson, and indeed in the case of many famous people, the passive and active hands differ significantly, and this reveals that the early circumstances faced by these people were not exactly smooth, resulting in changed personalities and values. There were challenges, battles to be won, and mental upheavals, and as a result, there was a change in the psyche.

While Tyson's hand shape and strength of the various mounts are approximately the same on both hands, there is an important difference in the length of the Apollo (ring) finger. All the Mars mounts are well developed on both hands, and this in combination with the shape of his hand reveals Tyson to be contentious, ambitious, competitive, and

Sreesanth's folly

It is believed that Sreesanth the cricketer succumbed to temptation when he fell prey to bookies. That he was a "weak" personality. The weakness of character appears to be a widely held belief, mainly because of his known outbursts on the cricket field.

Actually, Sreesanth's hand reveals a far more complex mindset. He has a

Pakistan's Imran Khan

Imran Khan, known to the world as a cricketer, philanthropist, and politician, is a celebrity of sorts. But who really is Imran Khan, the person? What is his character like?

Imran enjoys fame and name, and that is probably why he is interested in politics. There is nothing wrong with that type of motivation. Unless people enjoy being in the public eye, they won't turn to politics. Either it's idealism that attracts a person to politics or it is a desire for fame or both. When it comes to organisational ability and intellect, he is average, although

Oscar Pistorius's hand reading

Few believe Paralympian Oscar Pistorius’s claim that he shot his girlfriend Reeva by mistake; certainly not the police. What is the truth? Did Oscar Pistorius deliberately kill his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp? Can Palmistry really shed light on this?

The hand can guide us to some extent. It may not be able to tell if a person has actually committed a crime, but it can tell us whether a person is capable of it. The hand reveals the inner workings of the mind, and it is also possible to surmise from the hand whether a person is likely to commit a crime of passion or a cold-blooded, premeditated one.

Pistorius's hand has

David Beckham's hand reading

David Beckham may have inherited great health and physical robustness but when it comes to his intelligence and talent, he has developed these personality traits through sheer hard work and dedication. That's what Palmistry tells us.

Beckham’s right active hand is better than his left, passive hand. The active hand tells us about one's current personality and the passive hand tells us about one inherited or subconscious self.

David has long head and heart lines and

Bruce Lee's hands do not show a violent nature

If there ever was a legend, it was Bruce Lee. And if there’s a hand I’ve been curious about, it’s his. While examining his hands I looked for signs of violence, and perhaps I might have found what I was looking for if I had a clear picture of his lines. But after sifting through scores of pictures of his hands I could just about see the shape of his hand and fingers, and one picture showed me a glimpse of the lines.

What struck me immediately after going through Lee’s hand pictures was that he had

What do Suresh Kalmadi's hands tell us?

A comparison of Suresh Kalmadi's (politician and sports administrator in India) right and left hands tells us that his destiny changed because he changed. He writes with his right hand, and thus his right hand tells us about his current state of mind and the left, his inherited or subconscious qualities which would have guided him towards another destiny.

Although the differences in his left passive hand and the right active hand are not too many, they are significant. For one thing,

Roger Federer and Mirka - compatibility analysis from the shape of their hands

Roger Federer and his wife Mirka (Miroslava Vavrinec) are great together. Both are analytical, thoughtful people. From
the analysis of their hands, it is clear why they were attracted to each other in the first place, and why they are still together. Their hands show that they are mentally and temperamentally compatible even though their relationship may not be a smooth one. No relationship is. The problems they could face are explained later on in the post.

Hand analysis of Venus and Serena Williams

People are not sure why Serena Williams is doing better than her sister Venus in the game of tennis. Some say Serena’s advantage lies in her personality - her mean streak. A comparison of Serena and Venus (from their hands) tells a different story, and an intriguing one at that. Intriguing because both Venus and Serena have marked differences between their right and left hands. This by itself speaks of an unusual childhood, a childhood which altered their destiny.

Any marked difference

Lalit Modi's hand analysis

Lalit Modi’s* hands reveal that he is a proud and ambitious personality with a strong desire for power. Desiring power is a common trait in successful people and when people possess leadership qualities the outcome is usually a good one. But when the hunger for power is not accompanied by leadership qualities it can lead to not such a good outcome.

If one looks at Modi's hand features, he has a long, closely-held, slightly high-set thumb, and strong mounts of Moon, Jupiter and Mars. The mount of Venus is not well developed but the lines on his palm are deep and strong. The quadrangle (the space between the head and heart lines) is narrow. 

The fingers are medium-length with the Jupiter (index) finger

Jose Mourinho's hand analysis

Not all successful people’s hands are impressive (if one takes into account the whole personality) but Jose Mourinho's (he is a famous Portuguese football coach) is an exception. His personality is very well-balanced, telling us that he is an objective thinker, pragmatic and a very reasonable man. The latter trait is present to a high degree and it makes this man quite exceptional, especially when one takes into account his other personality characteristics, like a superior leadership ability. Mourinho will not be biased during decision-making and he has a remarkably cool head and neutrality to be envied. There are several signs on his hand that point to this.

These qualities are a boon in most professions but it is unlikely that Jose Mourinho would have been equally successful as

Are Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza right for each other?

Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik look good together. Both are young, beautiful, successful, and sports personalities. Both of them have seen the world and are broad-minded people with similar views. But happiness is not dependent on this. The question is: Are Sania and Shoaib a good match temperamentally? A peek at their hands can give us a clue as to whether they are truly right for each other.

The passion of youth

There is one similarity in both their hands, their heartlines. From this we can deduce that they are both

Shane Warne's hands match his reputation!

From what I could see from the hand of Shane Warne, it matches his reputation. His hand is that of a temperamental person. It is not easy to decipher cricketers’ hands as most photographs show them with their gloves on!

The best part about Warne’s hand is that it shows

Rafael Nadal - Hand and Finger Analysis

All great sportsmen are strategists. Some are better than others, and Rafael Nadal’s hands show that he is one of the better ones, even better than Roger Federer. True, he does not plan as much, nor does he go that much into detail, but Nadal’s hands show unusual shrewdness. More importantly, he can think and act quickly. He is flexible, takes instant decisions, and that too almost intuitively.

Rafael or Rafa as he is popularly known, like many successful sportspeople, has an excellent shape to his hand – broad palm and long fingers but not excessively long. His pinky or little finger is relatively very long and a little bent. His other fingers are fairly straight and the Jupiter or index finger is conically tipped and leaning outwards. He had a very good Apollo (ring) finger, excellent Venus and Jupiter mounts and Upper Mars and the Mercury mount are also fairly developed. In addition, he has a long, low-set thumb and dark, curved lines with the head and life joint for quite a bit.

His hand shows that he is not just mentally dexterous, he can be amazingly skilful, crafty, active and nimble and these are the qualities of people with a good
