Moles on the Back: Meaning by Position

Moles on the back are hidden from view, and in the Thai tradition many of them are linked with support from others, hard work that pays off, and long-term success.

Upper back

Back of the neck

A mole on the back of the neck, especially more than one, marks a public-spirited, honest and generous person respected by others. Some readings warn that wealth may not last unless it is managed carefully.

Just below the back of the neck (centre)

Clever, loves learning and has wide general knowledge.

Left shoulder near the neck

Steady progress in a career.

Just below the shoulders

Readings warn of being taken for granted: someone who helps others without receiving help in return, and who should not sweat the small things.

Shoulder blades

Fortune that alternates between good and bad, but success in what they do. Toward the ribs on the right: wealth through successful ventures; on the left: social standing and success.

Middle back

Back behind the chest

A very good sign: always lucky, quick-witted, hard-working and patient, living simply, with a good partner, good children, wealth and honour.

Centre of the back

Readings differ: some describe a peaceful person who prefers a quiet life and enjoys wealth and a happy marriage; others say life is a constant effort that ends in real success and wealth.

Right side of the middle back

Lucky and successful, with a talent for business.

Left side of the middle back

Achieves what they set out to do; for a woman, rising status and reputation.

On the spine

A mole on the spine above the waist is linked with a long life. Some readings say the middle of the spine is less fortunate; please never remove a mole for luck.

Lower back

Back of the waist

The tradition warns against impatience and giving up easily; steady effort is the key.
