Chinese Traditions: What a Mole Says About Your Personality
In
the Chinese face-reading tradition, moles on the face reveal
interesting secrets about your personality and can even predict your
destiny depending on where the marks appear. Far from being forgotten,
these traditions still play an important role today and are often taken
into account when people decide whether to have a mole removed.
Apart
from the specific links to particular aspects of your personality,
there are several general beliefs about what kind of moles are
considered auspicious: hidden moles, moles with hairs, and dark-colored
moles are lucky, also moles located on the right side usually are
auspicious compared to left-sided ones.

Here’s a list of mole interpretations based on placement. Only big moles count, not freckles or other little marks on the skin!
Forehead
A
mole located on the forehead is often regarded as a positive attribute
because it indicates intelligence and energy. People with this mark are
likely to have a successful career, especially when it’s located in the
center of the forehead, because that indicates strong potential for
making money. But a mole on the left side of the forehead means that
person is a worrier.
Eyebrow
A
mole located within the eyebrow is also a good sign, signifying
abundant wealth. A mole on the right side of the eyebrow means success
after hard work, while on the left side it suggests the person may have a
tendency to develop addictions.
Eyes
A
mole below the eyes is called “tear mole” and signifies suffering and
bitterness in life. It usually comes top of the list for removal.
Ear
A mole on the ear suggests wisdom and indicates a good marriage if it’s located on the left.
Nose
People
with a mole on the nose tend to be bad-tempered and profligate, but a
mole next to your nostrils indicates self-control and the ability to
save money.
Cheeks
A
mole on either cheek means the person is a conversationalist and
easygoing, but could potentially be a bigmouth that gives away secrets.
Lips
People
with moles on their lips are usually very talkative. It also indicates
they enjoy eating and might develop health problems or become
overweight.
Chin
A
mole on the chin signifies determination; people with such a mole tend
to succeed in business through being naturally persuasive, which in the
case of Chairman Mao (pictured above), certainly applies.
