Dots in Coffee Grounds: What They Mean
Dots in the coffee grounds are a sign that small sums are on your mind - the little outgoings and takings that add up to what you have, and where they quietly go and come back in. The grounds don't foretell your fate, and in dots you read what is on your mind now.
First layer · what tradition says
What the folk omen says
Dots are read as money, usually in small sums: a little coming in, a find, a fiddly bit of profit. A scatter of dots beside another sign was said to strengthen it and to give the whole matter a money flavor.
Second layer · the honest read
What the sign actually shows
Dots get noticed when small outgoings and small takings are on your mind. They are about your eye for the little amounts that add up to whatever you have. Have a look at where the small sums go and where they quietly come back in.
Dots by place in the cup
Dots at the very rim point to a small gain in the next few days. Settled toward the bottom, they are old pennies or something that was put by little by little a long while back. By the handle dots are your own purse and your own small spending, on the far side they are money that moves through other people. A thick clear scatter counts for more than a couple of faint dots you can barely see.
FAQ
Are dots in coffee grounds a good sign or a bad one?
In the cup dots are neither good news nor bad, because the grounds do not prophesy. Dots work as a mirror here, showing what you are turning over now, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh.
What do dots at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep, so dots down there are read as an old story or as something coming out of your past. Dots near the rim would speak of the days just ahead, and on the far side from the handle, of other people.
In coffee cup reading the place of a sign tells you when and about whom: nearer the rim is sooner, toward the bottom is further off or out of the past, by the handle is you and your home, opposite the handle is other people.
