Moleosophy ~ Study of Moles
The study of moles is called "Moleosophy". Like palmistry, tarot and numerology, Moleosophy or the study of moles is also a branch of astrology Moleosophy helps to understand what the moles located in different parts of ones body mean. Usually moles are found by birth but it is observed that moles appear also during one’s life time and also disappear, change their size and color. This is an indication of change of fortune. A raised mole is called a wart. Moles on the right side of a male body and left of a female body is considered auspicious. Honey brown, emerald green, and red colored moles are considered more auspicious and benefic than black moles.


In Indian and Chinese Astrology, moles are interpreted as representing the destiny of the person. The influence of the planets on the person would start at the time of fetus formation in the mother’s womb. Some planets influence the fetus more and some less. These influences result into mole formation when focused at the surface of the body. As per astrology the significance of moles increases with the size of the mole.
