Since ancient times, some people have been studying moles and wondering what their significance is depending on their location on our body.
Many people know that in the 18th century there was a rather fashionable craze for nevi (moles). Ladies and their gentlemen drew them with a special pencil or cut them out of velvet and gave them the shape of the moon, star and boat.
Such moles were kept in painted boxes. These flies were divided into playful and ambiguous , they were glued to strategic areas of the body, from which other people could interpret the meaning of moles.
Signs on the palms of a person in palmistry
In palmistry, the most important, fundamental lines are considered to be the lines of the Heart, Head, and Life. Everyone has these lines. Sometimes there are lines of the Heart and lines of the Head connected into one long line. This means a lack of cordiality towards others and at the same time originality, prudence, and an extraordinary mind. If such signs are on both hands, such people are distinguished by cunning, ingenuity and, at the same time, a hot temper. Pale, thin, broken lines indicate a lack of vitality, frequent illnesses, and serious dissatisfaction of a person in some area that is very important to him. All ascending branches from the main lines are favorable signs, and those going down are unfavorable. In addition, there are lines on the palm that duplicate the main ones, as well as all kinds of signs. Duplicate lines run parallel to the main ones and enhance their meaning for the better. Signs on the palms - these can be circles, islands, chains, lattices, stars, crosses, dots, etc. Islands, dots, chains mean problematic moments in life; other signs (crosses, stars, etc.) have different meanings depending on where they are located. The more the palm is covered with lines, the more gifted and creative the person is. And the simpler and calmer a person is, the fewer lines there are on his palm.
Why do they appear on hands?
Neoplasms are congenital or acquired in nature based on exposure factors. Congenital pigmentation is transmitted from the mother or father. Information about formations is stored in DNA and appears at any age.
The most common cause of acquired moles (or stimulation of congenital ones) is the influence of ultraviolet radiation. Hands are a large open area for rays to penetrate. The factor is universal for any location of a convex or flat spot from the hand to the shoulder. The characteristics of exposure to ultraviolet rays of groups A and B are highlighted.
A | IN | |
Where is it contained? | sunlight | Solarium lamps |
Operating principle | Oxidizes existing melanin | Affects the pigment cells of the outer layer of the skin |
Effect | Darker colors | Increased secretion of melanin |
Pigmentation on the hands, under the influence of groups, acquires dark shades - brown, black. This is the skin's protective reaction to the rays - an additional layer against excessive UV exposure. After the onset of “protective” melanin secretion, the pigment does not understand when it will stop. The side of the body begins to fill with a group of nevi.
Any hormonal changes provoke an effect similar to UV on the secretion of pigment. This fact explains the reason for the increase in the number of pigmented cells during pregnancy, menstruation, puberty or after taking hormonal drugs.
Substances produced by a single system (endocrine) work together. Hormones interact to decrease or increase each other's secretion.
During emotional turmoil, cortisol is produced, which acts identically to UV. Under the influence of the stress hormone, the skin, hair color, and the shape of moles change.
Popular prejudices refute physiological explanations, highlighting the karmic indicator as the main cause. So the growth on the hand became a symbol of debt from a past life.
Moles on the palms: meaning
General patterns
The main features inherent in moles on the palms are that, firstly, they are extremely rare and, secondly, they tend to appear throughout a person’s life – often many times. Moles on the palms are almost always very important, powerful and fateful signs. This is, in all likelihood, connected with the meaning of lines, tubercles and other elements on the hand, which the science of chirology deals with.
Before we talk about the connection between some lines on the palm and their combinations with moles, we should point out two important general patterns associated with such moles. Firstly, people who have such moles are almost always distinguished by either very strong “subtle” energy (optionally, great innate abilities for magic and esoteric sciences), or extremely developed willpower, which they are able to concentrate to achieve their goals. One can also add that very often all this is complemented by a constant desire for spiritual self-improvement. The second feature, also common, is the ability of such people to independently shape their destiny in the desired direction (a rare gift!), which, in general, is not surprising, given the above.
Moles on the main lines of the palm
Now let's talk about the connection of moles on the palm with the science of chirology and its most important part - palmistry, predicting the future along the lines of the human hand. Here you can see a clear pattern: a mole located on any line sharply increases its influence on the fate and future of a person. This applies to the greatest extent to the main lines. Therefore, below we give a brief description of them, from which it will be clear “what to expect” from a mole located on one line or another.
- Life Line
. It starts between the tubercles of Venus and Jupiter, from the very edge of the hand. It goes around the tubercle of Venus and ends at the bend of the arm or before reaching it. This line determines a person’s health and his love affairs. If the line is very close to the base of the thumb, then this is a sign of indifference and coldness in love, if the line is far enough, this indicates sensitivity and a strong attraction to love. Longevity is counted along the Life line - from bottom to top. From the top bracelet line we measure 1 cm upward to the Life line - this is 80 years, we divide the line to this point into 8 parts, each part will mean a segment of 10 years. Small transverse lines at the beginning of the Life line - accidents in childhood (bruises, etc.). In the place where the Life line bifurcates - weakening health, exhaustion. If it consists of chains, this is a sign of general pain and physiological weakness. Islets are more or less serious diseases depending on their size. If chains and islands are at the beginning of the line of Life, then this indicates weakness of the body and illness in childhood and adolescence. Small circles or dots mean diseases not of the whole body, but of some part, if the accumulation of many dots means a danger of bleeding. Small branches from the Life line towards the fingers indicate the strength of the body, branches going down to the bracelet lines indicate weakness that awaits a given person in old age. Two branches extending towards the valley of Mars and intersecting, forming a triangle with this segment of the Life line, mean a break (of marriage, love, friendship, family relationships). Small lines crossing the Life line indicate love affairs. Broken or disappeared lines on both hands are a bad sign, often of a sudden illness that awaits a person in the foreseeable future. Finally, for some people, a duplicate Life line runs along the Mount of Venus; it is a very favorable sign, sometimes foreshadowing healthy longevity. - Head Line
(midline of the palm). Most often, it begins from the point from which the line of Life originates, i.e., between the thumb and forefinger, and extends along the valley of Mars in the direction between the tubercles of the Moon and Mars. If the Head line is not connected to the Life line and originates from the tubercle of Jupiter, then this means a risky person and more susceptible to damage and the evil eye. If the Head line is interrupted, then the person is destined to experience grief or fear. All energy and mental abilities of a person are determined along this line. Loops and dots indicate detachment from real events inherent in a given person in everyday life. If the Head line merges with the Life line, then this indicates excellent mental development and intelligence. If these lines are intertwined, this indicates early awakening sexuality in youth or excessive sensitivity in adulthood. When the end of the Head line is directed towards the tubercle of Mars, this means the development of the mind in a real direction; if the end leans towards the tubercle of the Moon, then this indicates an interest in learning everything mystical, mysterious, the desire for the ideal in everything. The Head line in a chain indicates constant headaches. A line break is a head wound or blow, a double break is a strong blow, accompanied by a concussion and significant injury. To determine the time of events along the Head line, you need to draw a straight line from the middle of the base of the index finger down to the Head line - this will be a segment of 10 years, the next line - from the gap between the index and middle fingers - 20 years, etc. - The Heart Line
runs from the edge of the palm between the tubercles of Mercury and Mars and goes to the opposite edge of the palm. This line gives an idea of heartfelt experiences, relationships with people around you, and the loss of relatives. The more points on this line that extend downwards, the more experiences are destined. If the Heart line is interrupted, this means separation from a loved one; a very wide distance means his death. Island-shaped protrusion - strong love with jealousy, imbalance in feelings. Heart disease is also determined along this line. A line in a chain indicates a weak heart, pain, anemia. An island on the Heart line – heart disease, miscarriage or complication during childbirth. The location of the island determines the time, and the size determines the severity of the situation. Circles and dots - heartbreaks, worries; crosses and dots - heartfelt, love experiences. If the Heart line is connected to the Life and Head line, this is a sign warning against violent death or danger. The less developed the Heart line is, the less emotional a person is in his daily life. The absence of this line occurs in callous natures. A smooth line, without branches or intersections, shows that there were not too many truly strong and exciting experiences in a person’s life. If the Heart line is longer than the Head line, then such a person is more guided by feelings; if the Head line is longer, then the person is rational, is guided in life by common sense, logic, rationality and at the same time is able to perfectly control his feelings in any situation. When the Heart line connects its end with the Head line in the middle of the palm, this is a sign that a person will have to face a very serious problem in life, which may have a great impact on his entire subsequent destiny. Events along the Heart line are read from right to left by year. If you draw a line from the middle of the little finger to the Heart line - this is 10 years, a line down from the gap between the little finger and the ring finger - 20 years, etc. - The Line of Fate
originates near the end of the Line of Life or (it is much less common) from the Mount of the Moon. The line goes up to the fingers and can be of varying lengths. The course of life is determined along this line. This line means fatality, what is destined for a person, and what he is unable to change. Along this line, events are determined that do not depend on the will of a person, but are a consequence of a combination of circumstances. This line also shows culture. If there is no line of Fate, this means life “without fate,” that is, without doom and fatalism and at the same time without a specific program. In this case, a person is his own master, he can make any further plans and stick to them according to his own understanding. If the line of Fate originates near the line of Life, then a person achieves everything himself, if from the tubercle of the Moon, then he is protected by chance or coincidence. The Line of Fate without breaks means a calm life. If this line is interrupted in one place and a branch goes from there to the Mount of Saturn, this is a sign of illness. Breaks in the line of Fate indicate material changes and strong experiences. If after the break the line goes towards Jupiter, then changes for the better are coming, if in the opposite direction - for the worse. The line of Fate, bending in one direction or the other, speaks of a restless, unsettled, anxiety-filled life of a given person. - The line of the Sun
originates from the tubercles of the Moon or Mars. It means practicing any type of art; if there is one or more duplicating lines, then several types. If this line does not exist, then art is either of little interest to this person or is completely alien. Breaks on this line indicate fluctuations in the choice of activities and frequent changes in hobbies, and deviation of the line in one direction or the other indicates general unsettledness, inability to find oneself and get settled in life. - The Line of Knowledge
comes from the tubercles of the Moon or Mars, sometimes it begins near the line of Life. It ends on the Mount of Mercury. It can go straight or bend. The presence of such a line means that the person learned something and acquired practical rather than abstract knowledge. If the line is straight, then the study followed a certain course, without distraction into different fields. The absence of this line means lack of education. Interruptions and deviations indicate hesitation in the choice of sciences and knowledge. If such a line consists of grouped dashes, then a person learns a little of everything throughout his life. - Bracelet lines (on the bend of the hand)
are lines of well-being. The line runs along the crook of the wrist parallel to the base of the palm - it begins under the tubercle of the Moon and ends under the tubercle of Venus. This line is always present. It is accompanied by one or two (occasionally three) duplicate lines, and they are an indicator of a person’s well-being in life. The first line is youth and maturity, the second is middle age, the third is old age, if there is a fourth line or part of it, very old age. If the lines are smooth, it is a sign of excellent material security and life without any special worries. A line of chains means that success depends on the work a person puts in and external circumstances. Deteriorating well-being and a hard life mean bracelet lines of broken dashes.
Is it necessary to delete and which method to choose?
After detecting symptoms, it is recommended to submit a tissue sample for histological examination (determining the benign or malignant nature of the formation). The doctor will recommend a method for eliminating cell pigmentation based on the results obtained.
The surgeon excises malignant and benign nevus. This is an inexpensive outpatient treatment method. Removal on the hand occurs by contact using a scalpel. The tissues are damaged, the possibility of relapse is minimal - all malignant cells are excised.
To remove a mole for aesthetic reasons (if it is benign), hardware methods are recommended.
The devices do not leave marks on top of adjacent skin, and a new outer layer of tissue will appear on the damaged areas within a month.
Method | Device | Impact principle |
Laser | Microbeam | Evaporation |
Cryodestruction | A liquid nitrogen | Freezing |
Electrocoagulation | Electrocoagulator | Electric shock treatment |
Radiosurgery | Electroknife | Radio wave |
Photodynamic | Substance that increases skin sensitivity to light | Light that kills microorganisms |
For preventive purposes, getting rid of a benign tumor on the arm is often carried out at home after receiving doctor’s recommendations. Choose one of the methods:
- pharmaceuticals (ointments);
- oils (castor, linseed);
- natural juices (dandelion, pineapple, onion).
The local type of impact is long-lasting, but does not require additional costs. Medical or cosmetic treatment is short-term and safe. A dermatologist-oncologist or cosmetologist monitors the healing process.
The special significance of individual moles on the palms in morphoscopy and moleosophy
In these two esoteric sciences involved in the study of moles, it is also generally accepted that the meanings of moles on the palm and their interpretation are determined by the lines on which they are located. However, in addition to this, there are interpretations for certain types of moles, which are presented below. So…
A mole in the very center of the right palm is a highly favorable sign. It promises its owner success in any endeavor and material well-being. However, if for men such a mole promises happiness from birth, then for women - only after marriage.
But a mole in the very center of the left palm for both men and women promises good luck from the moment of birth, but at the same time its influence on a person’s fate is much weaker, because the owners of such a mole are almost always characterized not only by luck and fortune, but also by an absurd character or excessive willfulness, which hinders them throughout their lives.
What does it mean
In the Middle Ages, moles in this location symbolized devilish signs. It was believed that a person was rewarded with a “mark” for doing something wrong. After righteous deeds, the “sign” disappeared. In modern times, the formation on the hand is also characterized by its variability.
The meaning of a mole is deciphered based on its location (finger, shoulder, forearm, palm, elbow). The interpretation of one location can be radically opposite on the left and right sides of the body.
Location | Hand | Interpretation | Prediction |
Shoulder | Left | Envy, stubbornness, inflexibility, patience | Problems with employment, unstable financial situation |
Right | Arrogance, envy, indecisiveness, loyalty | Problems in money matters, stability of family relationships | |
Forearm | Left | The widower's sign is for men, the housewife's sign is for women. | Lack of stable income |
Right | Pleasant character for others, vulnerability, energy, hard work | Early marriage | |
Hand (wrist) | Left/right | Vulnerability, sensitivity | Happy marriage |
Elbow (bend) | Left | Artistry, attracting attention, self-development, self-realization, instability | Successful career up to 40 years old |
Right | Stubbornness, insight (the ability to distinguish lies from truth), optionality | Unstable location - travel | |
Palm | Left | Hereditary disease, sign of a family curse or gift, grumpiness, intrigue | Late marriage, problems in relationships with the opposite sex at a young age |
Right | Pure karma, luck | An easy way to achieve your goals |
Popular wisdom says that when there is a change in character, a mole on the left hand or on the opposite hand disappears from the “negative place” and is located in the “favorable area”. Both dorsal and internal nevus have the same risk of degenerating into a malignant formation.
Description of the tubercles on the human palm
The palms of the hands have elevations called tubercles. There are seven of them in total, five of them are under your fingers:
- under the thumb is the Mount of Venus (the largest in size);
- under the index - the tubercle of Jupiter;
- under the middle one - Saturn;
- under the nameless one - the Sun;
- under the little finger - Mercury.
- There is also a tubercle of Mars - it is located closer to the edge of the palm, and below, towards the end of the palm, there is a tubercle of the Moon.
The tubercles are formed by the muscles of the palm. They can be very developed and stand out strongly, or they can be absent (if there is a depression in place of the tubercle, the tubercle is considered to be negatively developed). The more developed it is, the stronger the influence of the corresponding planet on a person. The center of the palm, that is, its concave part, is called the valley of Mars. This area of the palm represents the struggle of life; all the main life lines intersect here. The mount of Venus shows sensitivity, mercy, kindness. Jupiter – the degree of religiosity, pride, self-love. Saturn - foresight, prejudices, if it is expressed very strongly - a tendency to sadness. The sun is wealth, fame, success. Mercury - trade, contacts, with appropriate additional lines - resourcefulness, cunning. The mount of Mars - depending on how it is developed - courage or cowardice, perseverance or humility. The influence of the Moon is how strong a person’s imagination is. Weakly expressed tubercles indicate the weak influence of the planets and the absence of corresponding properties in a person. If the tubercles are expressed normally, clearly and at the same time - with a clearly defined semicircular shape and circles on them - this is considered a sign of a person who is harmonious in everything, prosperous and lucky.
In addition to the tubercles, there are six main lines on the palm and the seventh on the bend of the arm. The better, more clearly expressed the lines, the longer they are, the fewer branches they have, the more favorable their meaning.
Moles on the hands: what will the doctor do?
The doctor will examine the formation.
He will perform a dermatoscopy.
This is a basic test to detect suspicious skin growths.
It does not make it possible to accurately state malignant degeneration, nor to exclude it.
But signs of malignancy can be identified, after which a decision may be made about the need for additional diagnostic procedures or removal of the nevus.
Dermatoscopy is the study of an area of skin using a special device.
It provides magnification.
Modern dermatoscopes are also equipped with digital cameras that take pictures.
They allow you to document research results and evaluate changes in a suspicious formation over time.
Benefits of the study:
- non-invasive (does not cause skin trauma);
- painless;
- safe (no risk of infection or other complications);
- It is carried out quickly - about 10 minutes.
For each suspicious mole on the hand, the likelihood of malignancy is assessed.
Patients usually seek consultation with a dermatologist and undergo dermatoscopy for the following reasons:
- many moles on the body;
- changing an existing mole on the hand;
- the appearance of a new mole.
Some patients have no signs of pathology.
They are treated solely for preventive purposes.
It happens that dermatoscopy reveals malignant neoplasms.
Most often it is basal cell skin cancer.
It also happens that melanomas are detected.
During a preventive examination, approximately 2 out of 3 people are diagnosed with a neoplasm that was not noticed by the patient himself.
Palm tubercles and their meaning
Mount of Venus
The deep line from the thumb to the line of Life is the only and constant love in life. A pronounced cross in the center of the tubercle means strong love without reciprocity. Broken lines or a grid means strong sensuality, if a solid grid means a lot of unsuccessful connections. A star on the tubercle of Venus foretells a person some kind of misfortune from a person of the opposite sex.
Mount of Jupiter
If there is a sign of a cross or a star on it, this is a relationship or marriage, in the second case it is happier. Small vertical lines - success at work, as well as active activities - sports. Small branches running from the line of the Heart to the Mount of Jupiter mean that this person is endowed with the mystical gift of premonition of future events. A line running from the Mount of Jupiter along the entire length of the index finger is a sign of dignity and respect from everyone around; Often such people occupy high leadership positions.
Mount of Saturn
This tubercle marks experiences, sad events, sometimes fatal ones. The grid is a frequent obstacle to fate, sadness. The presence of a star is fatal, a sign that some kind of fate is weighing on this person. A line running from the Mount of Saturn along the entire length of the middle finger is success in any career that a person has chosen for himself.
Mount of the Sun
The grid is success in achieving material well-being. Star - happiness, reward, success in art. Forking with a fork is wealth not acquired by labor. Straight, sharp vertical lines are a strong inclination to engage in a wide variety of arts, to creativity in general. A line running from the tubercle of the Sun along the entire length of the ring finger means success in the arts, crafts, and profit.
Mount of Mercury
The signs on this tubercle refer to the area of knowledge. One or more sharper vertical lines indicate a propensity to trade or success in it. The star in the center of the tubercle is cunning, sometimes duplicity, a tendency to manipulate (or lead) other people. Longitudinal lines - success in business. A line running from the tubercle of Mercury along the entire length of the little finger - great natural abilities for anything, as well as the ability to make life plans.
Tubercle of Mars
A cross in the center of the hill means crossed out intentions in some area or business where a person intended to try himself. A line running from the Life line to the Mount of Mars means possible health problems. Fine mesh means constant bad luck in small things.
Tubercle of the Moon
Signs indicate experiences that have had a strong impact on the imagination, as well as trips, moving, traveling. A cross on a tubercle is a sign of some major failure that has befallen this person. The grid indicates frequent disappointments.
Indications for mole removal
Removing moles on the hands is a simple, harmless and painless procedure.
Therefore, it can be performed both for medical reasons and at the request of the patient.
Such a desire may arise if:
- the mole looks ugly;
- interferes with a person;
- causes him physical or psychological discomfort.
For medical reasons, a nevus can be removed if there are signs of malignancy or its risk is assessed as high.
This may be the case if:
- the mole is constantly injured and inflamed;
- it changes its color, size, shape;
- there are cases of skin cancer among relatives;
- a person often sunbathes in the sun or visits a solarium, so the nevus constantly receives a large dose of ultraviolet radiation.
It should be taken into account that a mole on the hands often receives a lot of ultraviolet radiation, even if the person is not a fan of beach holidays.
If you are often in an open space, your hands are always exposed to sunlight.
To avoid future medical problems, it is better to undergo prophylactic nevus removal.
Including in cases where there are no signs of a pathological process, and atypical cells were not detected during laboratory testing.
The listed situations require removal of the mole as planned.
There are also indications for immediate excision of the formation.
These are:
- increasing the area of an element or its height;
- the appearance of erosions, bleeding;
- inflammation;
- itching;
- regression (reduction in size, lightening);
- the appearance of a corolla around the mole;
- the appearance of smaller moles nearby.
Nevi must be completely removed.
Otherwise, they may recur.
The meaning of the symbol on the Heart line
The spots located on the lines of the palm carry a special meaning. Their appearance on the right or left hand can be a warning of the future or an indication of a problem that a person needs to solve.
A mole on the Heart line in most cases warns a person about existing problems with the cardiovascular system. Emotionally, this mark indicates disappointment in love life or an increased feeling of jealousy.
Depending on the color of the pigment spot, palmists distinguish the following meanings:
- Light pigment spots notify their owner about upcoming positive situations and events. The lighter the nevus, the more positive the event will be. In most cases, such marks disappear on their own after the event occurs.
- A yellow mole is a signal to think about your health. The most common problems that the mark warns about are diseases of the spleen, liver and circulatory system.
- Moles colored red indicate an impending dangerous situation. It could be an accident, an accident.
An omen of an improvement in financial condition are nevi of brown and black shades. People prone to waste should be careful. All funds received can be spent on unnecessary things.
