Moles on the face and their significance

If a mole is located on the upper half of a woman's face, it represents connectedness (forehead), sociability and naivety (eyes) and secrecy (ears).

On the lower half of the face, moles indicate a lavish streak (left of the nose) or foresight (right of the nose). A birthmark on the cheeks stands for superficiality and one on the mouth for gentleness, sensuality and lust.

In men, moles on the upper half of the face represent an emotional tendency (forehead), weakness (eyes) and happiness (ears). Moles in the lower half of the face in men indicate skill, pessimism, arrogance (cheeks) and cheerfulness (mouth).
