Ozzy Osbourne would probably have said palmistry is a load of old bo****ks, having the hands of an earthy sceptic. In fact, if it wasn't for his hugely creative headline and powerful imaginative Luna mount, he'd have been narrow minded. So let's dive dee into Ozzy Osbourne's Palm Reading.
The Practical Hand of the Prince of Darkness
The late Prince of Darkness had an 'Analytical' and 'Practical hand' mix. The thinking firm but fair type, often seen in construction site managers. The type who enforce rules, so long as they can find it in themselves to respect them, otherwise, they follow their own.
Contradictions in Ozzy Osbourne’s Hand Analysis
There are many contradictions in his hand analysis, which make him extremely complex. This is not surprising being neurodivergent, Ozzy had both ADHD and dyslexia. ADHD in palmistry is often seen in 'many lined' hands with a doubling of the lifeline and girdle of Venus - both of which Ozzy has.
Much of Ozzy Osbourne’s life story was televised, but the hands reveal all. So, what do they show that we don't already know?
And what are the signs of a sceptic in palmistry?
Signs of a Sceptic in Palmistry
Palmistry and personality go hand in hand. Those who are sceptical always bears similar markings, and I rarely see them in my clients, for obvious reasons!
Ozzy was both a doer and thinker. Analytical fingers are always seen on the hands of those who nit-pick, having eyes for detail. This made him detail orientated but argumentative. His fingers are almost level with each other as they emerge from his heavy hand. This is known as the 'Tudor arch'. He was fully confident in his actions, trusting his judgment, pushing on through with self-assurance and even aggression at times, whether he was right or wrong.

1. The Thumb: First Sign of a Sceptic in Ozzy Osbourne's Palm Reading
His heavy thumb is stiff, short and low-set. His heart was always in the right place; he expressed feelings immediately rather than bottling them up. He was efficient and quick to judge, but not necessarily to act. He was incredibly stubborn. The inability to open his thumb out 90 degrees shows a difficulty to be open to concepts that challenge accepted views. (This is the bit where you look at your own hand). It comes as no surprise to see he has both the angle of time and angle of pitch, being musically gifted. (First sign of a sceptic palmistry trait.)
2. Life and Head Lines: The Tortoise of Chinese Palmistry
His Life and Head Lines are joined for a longer length than average. In Chinese palmistry, Ozzy would have been referred to as a tortoise, one who commits to goals and overcomes all challenging odds and terrain.. eventually. One who plods through life in their own way, and at their own pace, slowly. This sign leavens the Tudor arch somewhat, as it's a sign of over-cautiousness and even shyness. This contradiction in his character adds a layer of complexity. He took his time with decisions and was confident in action, but likely always struggled to be confident in himself. (This degree of caution is the second sceptic sign in palmistry.)
3. The Space Between Head and Heart Line
It is difficult for people to be open and open up, unless they have more than 1cm between the Head and Heartline throughout. A smaller space than this is a sign of blinkered thinking. (Third sign of scepticism in palmistry.) Ozzy appears close to this, although his headline in his late 30s changes direction, increasing this space, showing his perceptions shift. He was immensely creative as shown by the sheer curvature of this line. The length of this line shows an obsessive mentality and an ability to picture finished results; he had an abundance of vision. This mental state of living in the future is the definition of anxiety, and commonly seen in the hands of the neurodiverse.
4. Mercury Finger and Intelligence
The combination of the length of his headline and the length of his Mercury finger shows he was very intelligent. A sharp tip of Mercury always shows a sharp tongue; he was verbally quick off the mark and witty.

5. Bow of Intuition: A Rare Palmistry Sign
His left hand shows a bow of intuition in palmistry. This rare and unmistakable feature, bowing and terminating on outer Mars, reveals his overall goodwill and powerful personality, and is said to be a sign of a great amount of control over imagination. Due to this marking, Ozzy was able to use his intuition productively, and possessed an almost hypnotic ability, having a great impact on those he came into contact with. This sign meant he could set new trends in thought and behaviour, having a sort of magical and positive effect on those around him, his audience.
6. Success Line and Ozzy’s Rise to Fame
His right-hand lifeline shows an ambition line at age 18. Then difficulties began where he started to claim his independence until age 22 - the age he met his wife. From this time, a success line can be traced, rising across the Apollo mount and towards Mercury. Ozzy Osbourne shot to fame from the age of 22 onwards. His relationship line shows this as marriage in his mid 30s.
A disturbance is seen at this same time on his lifeline. This event literally changes the course of his lifeline. In 1982, Ozzy's lead guitarist Randy Rhoads died in a plane crash. Ozzy said "Randy Rhoads was quite possibly the best composer & musician that I have ever met in my life."
At age 65, his health line comes into contact with his lifeline, creating an island, where he was possibly first affected by his rare disease. Remarkably, his health declines from this time onwards. Most begin this descent at age 50. This shows exceptional vitality and capacity to overcome any obstacle. Our left hands reveal our genetic and inherent traits. His girdle of Venus stops his fate line on his left hand at the age of 70, the age he was diagnosed with his rare genetic form of Parkinson's disease.
Being the stubborn tortoise he was, he defied this, continuing his career, dying just weeks after his final show at the age of 76.
In my opinion, he died far too young, but legends never truly die.
"The thing about life is that by the time you're older and you begin to understand, you die!" – Ozzy Osbourne.
