Everyone has moles of various sizes and numbers on their body. But did you know their locations are traditionally linked to lifelong fortune? Some women remove facial or body moles for beauty, which is believed to risk turning good luck into hardship.
Before rushing to remove any moles, consider what they’re believed to represent. Understanding this first may help attract good fortune and avoid misfortune.
First, confirm that it’s a mole: Moles are darker than the surrounding skin and can be deep black, light black, gray, brown, or red. Some are slightly raised; others are flat. If it’s flesh-colored and significantly raised, it may be a wart rather than a mole.
In physiognomy, many factors are considered, including location, visibility, color, size, and elevation. Favorable moles are said to be moist and shiny, with pure black, red, or jade-like white tones. “Black as lacquer, red as spring, white as jade suggests great wealth.” “Inky black and vermilion red moles are good.”
Unfavorable moles are typically dark, dull, and lack luster—such as tea-colored or gray moles with lifeless color. “Red implies gossip and disputes; white implies worries and punishment; yellow implies forgetfulness and loss.”
Moles in hidden areas—such as on the earlobes, behind the ears, under the eyebrows, below the nose tip, or beside facial features—if about the size of a grain of rice and pure black, vermilion red, coffee-colored, gray-brown, or brown, and aesthetically pleasing, are considered good moles. If irregular and unattractive, they’re considered bad moles. Conversely, prominently placed facial moles are often seen as unfavorable. Facial moles are said to correspond to body areas: a mole on the eyebrow may correspond to moles on the shoulders or hands; a cheekbone mole may correspond to moles on the chest. Most body moles are regarded as auspicious.
Additionally, it’s advised to avoid surgically removing unfavorable facial moles, as such procedures are believed to change one’s fate and thus be inauspicious. Removing what you think are bad moles without careful consideration may bring unforeseen consequences. Since your current fate is as it is, trying to sidestep it may lead to bigger issues. It’s recommended instead to improve yourself through practical actions and mindset—addressing potential negative traits and avoiding unnecessary external risks.
As the saying goes, “The face reflects the heart.” The influence of moles on facial features is only a small part. When you notice unfavorable moles, align your actions to avoid the associated omens as much as possible. Over time, this is believed to shift your fortune—bad moles may even fade or turn favorable.
