Refining Physiognomy: An In-Depth Analysis of Mole Interpretations by Qingya Jushi

Ancient texts on physiognomy, handed down through the ages, contain numerous intriguing accounts, particularly concerning moles. The position of a mole is said to provide insights into various aspects of a person's life, claims that modern science has yet to fully explain.

From my research on luck and its relationship with the human body, I have previously offered explanations for these phenomena. Luck influences a person's overall life state, impacting health, emotions, psychology, and surroundings. Consequently, moles can be viewed as physical manifestations of changes in one's luck that appear on the face.

A while ago, a netizen reached out to verify the accuracy of these ancient descriptions. She sent me a photo of a new mole that had appeared on her forehead. According to the texts, the left side of the forehead is associated with the father, while the right side corresponds to the mother. A mole on the left side suggests potential danger for the father, whereas a mole on the right indicates similar concerns for the mother. There are further nuances for other relatives based on specific locations, but broadly, the left side pertains to male elders, and the right side to female elders.

When I examined her birth chart, it also reflected that her father faced peril that year, and a divination confirmed this. This instance underscores how the manifestations of luck—in physiognomy, birth charts, or divination—can uncover the core of issues in distinct ways.

Why do I call this a further confirmation? At one time, I read in the texts that if white spots appear above the eyebrows, it foretells that one's parents will pass within six months—the left side foreshadows the father, and the right side, the mother. Initially, I questioned how such spots could appear unwarrantedly and wondered if it might be vitiligo. However, about two weeks later, a friend's mother became critically ill. On visiting, I saw small white spots above her eyebrows, scattered randomly. True to the prediction, her mother passed away about five months later, and within a week of her passing, the white spots above her eyebrows vanished on their own.

This example illustrates that the vast majority of records in these texts stem from countless validations and experiences accumulated by ancient scholars.
