Major hand: left, b. 1949

I had been planning to look at the hands of Israeli strongman Benjamin Netanyahu since some time but could never come to it. However, given the Israel-Hamas situation on hand, something that would affect the whole world, it’s time to look at one important actor in all of this, Bibi.

I don’t have excellent photos from the Internet, but the photos available are decent. So, as a lot of markings and influence lines cannot be seen, I cannot make predictions, yet at the same time I can decode the kind of man Netanyahu is.

The thing that strikes you immediately on looking at his hands is his immense physicality and sensuality. This is almost an earth hand, barely a fire hand. The energy levels are very high, stubbornness is in good measure and such a person operates at a very sensual, physical level: thumping your back solidly and very good with practical stuff that requires hands! The fingers are on the short side, indicating a certain impatience to get to the destination and a macro approach rather than a detail-oriented approach, though a slight touch of knottiness to the fingers does prevent the impatience from taking over. All the base phalanges are thick, again reinforcing the sensuality of the subject. All of the mounts are at least decently developed, with most of them in fact being excellent: this is not only another sign of the immense physicality of this person, but also a sign of a very good ‘luck’.

A lot of palmistry students look for markings and all kinds of things. But the most important thing is not markings, not even lines. The most important thing is the hand shape and mounts. If these two accord well with each other and if the mounts are well developed, especially Luna, Venus and Mercury, then we have a person destined to be very successful, famous and/or wealthy. And in Netanyahu, that’s what all of his well-developed mounts are leading to. In a way, the man knows himself well, is playing himself: maybe not consciously, but at least instinctively, subconsciously. This is a sure recipe of success unless marred by an extraordinary bad combination of lines and markings.

And Netanyahu’s hands, which are both quite similar, show lines, too, of a good quality. The heart line is mostly excellent, showing a pragmatical person, who is neither too idealistic nor only driven by self-interests when it comes to his emotionality and personal ideology. The one thing it suffers from is that it dips a bit towards the head line in his late youth and mid-age, making the quadrangle narrow. This points at his listening to his head rather than to a fine heart, making him somewhat intolerant (to ‘the other’). The head line also periodically pushes itself up towards the heart line, the first time being between around 24 and 35 as best as I can estimate: his emotions, while subjecting themselves to the head in general, also tried to pull his strings. On referring to Wikipedia, it is in this period he met two of his three wives. And then the head line gets again pulled a little bit towards the heart line between 52 and 60, and this is where he meets/marries the third wife. A strong physicality in a man will often manifest itself in conquests of women, so it is no wonder to find all these various pulls of his head line towards the heart line and see the consequences.

His fate line shows him to be self-made but following a career path that is not far from his family’s paths. Again referring to the Wikipedia, I find his father, a professor, involved in politics and having strong political views and his paternal grandfather a kind of leader, a rabbi, and who also seems strongly politically motivated. It is a very strong, unswerving fate line till around the age of 60: thus, a very high drive to succeed and a very focused ambition. The drive weakens after 60, the age around which Netanyahu reached the top of the power tree in Israel. Now I know that often on attaining the highest seat of power, a person’s will often becomes weaker, which I have previously called as the Obama syndrome, yet this surprises me in the case of Bibi: considering with all the ways Netanyahu has managed to hold on to power over the last 14-15 years, I was expecting an equally strong drive even after reaching the summit. There also seems to be the ring of Sun on his minor hand and probably even on his major hand, but the pictures are not clear enough to confirm this: a ring of Sun can denote immense success/fame and/or wealth.

It is difficult to say more about Netanyahu given the ordinary qualities of the hand/palm photos with me. At the end, looking at it medically, one could, however, say that the subject should be wary of kidney, prostate or other troubles of the private parts in their life and should also be careful of water.
