Michelle Obama - the first African-American 'First Lady' in the US

Michelle Obama (Barack Obama's wife) became known as the first African-American 'First Lady' in the US.

Fore more details about her background, etc.:

PS. Regarding her right hand:

Notice her extra heart line... ... or, is it a head line?
And see the extra-line on the middle phalange of her ring finger!

(And her right hand 'digit ratio' is close to 0.92 - rather remarkably low for a woman)

I was hoping we would get some comments on Michelle Obama's hand. I would like to hear opinions on what the line is under the heart line.

Yes, I would like to some comments on her palm as well. I wish we could have better palm pictures though

Dear Martjin,

Is it second heart line or head line ?

Hi all,

I agree the second line is more related to the head line, had though of the possibility of a Sydney line... but the lower head line more closely reflects the inner self or left hand and the focus on primary goals, where as the dominant head line that ends more on the Mount of Jupiter reflects the persona we may see more of in public.... pragmatic, independent, strong sense of what she wants to achieve and the need for it to reflect her religious philosophy. This seems to be backed up with her fingers and the curving of the first and second fingers which would suggest both a strong religious background and a need to achieve her ideals. In particular the long first phalanges on the index finger and middle finger. The offset Mercury for me indicates that she acts from personal conviction not social dictates. The thumb curving in, if there isn't a physiological reason for it's inward curve reflects a possible grasping personality.

I have justed written a short 'hand analysis portrait' of Michelle Obama's hands, which is now available at:

Hi Martijn,

Thank you so much for your wonderful articles, which I have often read and referred your site to others.

Relating to the little finger, in the earlier time called the auricular finger funnily enough, I usually take the finger length from the knuckle to the tip and have found that a low set finger often seems to relate to those with a fear of financial insecurity and sometimes parental breakup in childhood. Off set has often been seen in individuals who act outside the square... I have also noticed that it gives a great insight into a persons character, consistent with observations from old schools... and strongly related to communication skills. I have found also, a high correlation with old school observations of the Mercury finger nail- when narrow in relation to the finger, long and the women being highly aquisitive and manipulative.
I long have noticed a high correlation in people with Asperger's - not that I get the opportunity to see a huge number and irregularities in the Mercury finger... this sometimes also seems, in Asperger's, where there is high function, to relate also to the heart line. One case, where the girl was highly intelligent and unfortunately relegated to classes with Down Syndrome etc and known for violent outbursts- perfectly understandable when you knew her circumstances, the heart line travelled down inside the head and life line.
I pointed this out to her and also acknowledged the most unfortunate circumstances she found herself in, whereupon she opened up and we had the most incredible conversation! 12 going on 85 years!!!!

A girl with Down's Syndrome and a highly developed Mount of Luna, or sub thenar mount, but with a long ring finger, was delighted when I asked her about whether she loved art and had a very active dream life, and once again I was blown away by the depth and complexity of her aspirations and dream life.

Hi Felicity,

Thank you for your kind words!!

By the way, I would love to hear more about your ideas about Asperger's syndrome. And where you able to make a handprint?

I have a similar palm with an extra line that could be considered a parallel heart, head, fate, or life line- since it forms an intersection to all of them.

I've been studying palmistry for years, but haven't found anyone with an extra line like mine. This does not surprise me on her. Mine is also on the right hand (and a little different- as I have a darker mystic cross in the middle of all of it).

This has renewed my interest in palmistry.

Hi JenniferM,
Could you send pictures of your hands. I have been looking and looking at Michelle Obama's hand and I am puzzled. I do not think the pictures are clear enough. I read the link Martijing gave us and that reader definitely believes it to be two headlines, so I think she must have clearer pictures. What we are looking at is not clear enough to verify this. To say what she says she must be able to see that line coming from Jupiter and all I see is a line above the headline and also is that line coming in from the percussion side and therefore hovering above the definite headline. If that line comes in from the percussion that has a very different interpretation. Hope you will send pictures of your hands. Thanks.
Jeanette.

Here is my hand. It is not easy to get a great photo, since it is very water-type, with many lines. My extra line is connected by a very deep mystic cross. The bottom runs parallel to the life line and the the top curves up parallel to the heart line.

It really made my day to see another hand like that. I have read dozens of palmistry books that do not touch on the subject.
