Maria Shriver's handwriting reveals that behind her powerful, upbeat facade there is confusion, lack of confidence and a tendency to negate oneself, all of which are probably contributing factors to her staying for so many years in a difficult marriage. Beginning with her her signature, one immediately notices that it is illegible with omitted and/or disguised letters, a clear indication of deception in some form. In the bottom signature she completely omits the "i"and in the others the name appears to be "Manz Shein or Shun or Shur". This means that as a person that "what you see is not what you get". The first name is who you are and the second name represents your role in society, your work and family, etc., and so in this case there is deception in her core self as well as in areas of her work, family and/or social settings. The illegibility is so consistent indicating that it is deeply entrenched in her psyche. (Note Arnold's signature at the top which is just as illegible as Maria's - they are two peas in a pod in that respect.)
Maria's lack of confidence can be seen in the top note, in the very low t-bar on the word "brothers". T-bars are the barometers of one's confidence in oneself, one's goals and drive in life. High t-bars with long strokes show a high level of confidence, but Maria's is small, short and low to the ground. Also, note how the word "brothers" is capitalized - no other words are capitalized like this, suggesting that she puts her brothers above her in some manner (which implies a confidence issue). She also very much likes to have her way....please note the dot at the end of her signature which means basically, "I have the final word."
Surprisingly, there is not much of an upper zone (the realm of ideals, imagination and of the mind) in her handwriting, rather there is a predominance of very large loops in the lower zone The lower zone is strictly about money, sexuality and the more material aspects of life. The loops are not crossed over indicating a lack of sexual completion in her marriage. There are some other lower zone forms that are very small straight sticks, which suggest a less than abundant sexuality. The lower zone formations also resemble cradles, indicating that motherhood of great importance to her. Also seen are very large lower zone loops are called "money bags". These are seen in her signature (bottom image) or the loops on the top image and denote the a concern for money.
Finally, there is a tendency to sabotage oneself, which can be seen in the way she slashes out her first name in the signature on the bottom. Whenever there is a slash through the first name (first name = the self), there is always some form of self negation going on, a denial of sorts which in hindsight can be seen in the way things played out in their marriage.
As a side note it is interesting to observe that while she capitalizes when writing the word "brother", her handwriting slants downward on the word "husband" - the weight of her unsatisfying marriage briefly manifests itself in this word. So while on first glance Maria Shriver appeared to be a confident, pulled together business woman, the loving wife of a politician/movie star, a super mom, etc., underneath it all there is doubt, excessive concern for the material and self negation.
