Grand Ayatollah Khomeini (1900-1989) - political & spiritual leader of Iran

Hi Martijin,
You say long ring finger for leadership, I thought it was long index finger. Could you explain. Thanks.

I quoted only M.A Malik's reference. Anyways, Martijin

Hi Martijin,
Thanks for the reply, information and links. I have read them and they are very informative. I cannot think of any books to send quotes from. This is something I had deducted from all readings. Thanks again.

Dear Martijn,

I think the first two pictures are not a good base for interpretations because the fingers are prepared - or unfriendly a little bit a fake.

For example: Compare the Saturn finger with other fotos. It and the other fingers, too, apears much too thin. On good other fotos, specially of the "late" Khomeini, his Saturn finger is much stronger, specially on the base phalanxe, which signalize a stronger and not a weak Saturn with his abbilities for responsibility, (a kind of metrialistic) religious leadership in an "old" conservative "God father" way by laws....

On the other side I always thought that there is a Jupiter (finger) accentuation because of the typical finger position of the "late" A. Khomeini. - Hopefully I'll manage to put in fotos (one of Khomeini) in near future - The conic Jupiter is always getting away from the Saturn: independence and the combination emotion+insight.
And look a the Mercury: Expected away from Apollon, the ring and "cought" or ceeping in borders sexual needs.

I would also take into consideration his very remarcable right thumb, a may be sign for a charismatic "managing" leader and always a need for leaders to realize their abbilites on the earth.

Hy Matijn,

categories are always only a helping tool and fotos are only the second joice. In natural we always have the chance to come to better results. - Look at the 5th picture from the start and at the Jupiter finger there, specially on it's base, similar to his typically Saturn finger. I think it's quite heavy or thick on the base which shows a familarity to the earth element with all it's quality aspects and even on influence of his kind of greed.

Dear Martijn,

I think, you understood me right. I agree with what you wrote about the base phalanxe. But it seems for me still strong or stronger (and the conical shape) than with what I would await with a more philosophical type.

Okay Manfred, thanks for explaining what you had in mind!

Hi All,

A very interesting insight into a figure that impacted so strongly on the Middle East.
I have looked at the website dedicated to Khomeini and from pictures there see that his Jupiter finger and Mercury finger have long and pointed first phalanges, so feel they are not doctored but agree the sketch differs dramatically from the reality.... the long, pointe first phalanges, according to my understanding increases a strong spiritual focus. It would be most interesting to see if there had been any markings on the first phalange which can heighten these tendencies. It is interesting that he has a short third phalange on the Jupiter finger meaning he didn't aspire to dictatorship but the leadership came through the spiritual dimension. This probably was aided by the strong Apollo line. The ring of Solomon was not apparent but a very strong Mount of Jupiter was. The Heart line seems to also have a strong downward connection to the headline.

What I failed to see anyone mention was the unusual depth of the primary lines in Khomeni's hands. Depth of lines is highly correlated with an individual's energy, industry and focus --- all critical components when it comes to predicting one's success.

Deep lines are not an attribute one is born with. Deep lines are an outcome of either: (a) hard physical labor or; (b) extreme hard work in general. Another way to look at deep lines is to view them as an indication of extraordinary stamina. Which, once again, is a major predictor of an individual's success.

You will learn to distinguish the relative depth of lines only after you have looked at thousands of hands. Yet, it is a very important skill to have that must be a part of a skilled palmist's skill set. JMHO
