Birthmarks have always been seen as holding a deeper meaning in cultures.
Whether you view it as something fortunate or even something as deeper like past lives, their meanings vary depending on how you see it.
I will give you my expert opinion on this topic, from a psychological, and spiritual perspective.
Psychoanalytic Viewpoints
According to Michael Olpin, birthmarks in areas linked to sexuality/reproduction can represent subconscious feelings towards one’s psychosexual self-image.
Birthmarks might also manifest your flaws or insecurities. Which means they appear in places where you have insecurities about yourself, whether you acknowledge it or not.. Their locations can also add to these inner feelings of inadequacy.
Cultural Symbolism & Beliefs
In some Asian traditions, birthmarks on your buttocks are considered lucky.
DreamMoods.com highlights how Vietnamese culture associates them with “wealth and prosperity”, while the Bahnar people see them as “symbols of coming abundance.
Now that’s something?
Interestingly Aboriginal Australians see birthmarks as something that indicates the presence of ancestral spirits or linked to past lives.
An anthropological study quotes a tribe member: “The child’s buttocks birthmark is where the spirit has lingered from their former existence on this earth.”
I found this quote while searching online.
Ancient Greeks and Romans also connect birthmarks to past lives or someone who has reincarnated.
The philosopher Aristotle pondered, “What are these markings but outward tellers of an inward soul’s journey from past tense?”
Could it be something to think about?
I do believe birthmarks are connected to past lives, which I have mentioned before in other articles about birthmarks.
Interpretations from Dream Experts
Michael Lennox suggests viewing buttocks symbolism through a Freudian lens. He concludes such dreams relate to “feelings about authority, nurturing, and self-worth.
A birthmark’s location is very important to understand the interpretations.
In our western societies the buttock area is linked with topics of wealth, luck, and loss of control.
Think about your circumstances, whether you have a prosperous life or going through a loss of control.
Other Perspectives
In numerology the birthmark on the buttocks is linked to the numbers 2 and 8, representing duality and abundance cycles.
As a healer myself the location means there are blockages in the sacral or root chakras.
Birthmarks in this area symbolize stifled creative energy or repressed primal urges. This could be something you are going through, I mean we all do sometimes.
The Meaning is Personal
While perspectives abound, just remember it’s personal about how you see the symbolism about this birthmark, a little self reflection might be required.
Only you can know what it might mean for you, there might be hints, but I need to know your personality and how you are as a person for a clearer meaning.
