What the folk omen says
In folk coffee reading the dragon is a sign of great strength and passion - near you stands either a powerful protector or a fearsome rival you'll have to reckon with.
Second layer · the honest read
What the sign actually shows
The truth is that the dragon surfaces in the cup of someone who senses great strength in herself and doesn't yet know where to put it. It's about your own fire - the desire, the anger, the passion straining to get out. Look closely at what in you is pulling at its chains right now, and why you keep it locked away.
Dragon by place in the cup
A dragon by the handle turns that fire back on you - this power is your own to claim.
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.
FAQ
Is a dragon in coffee grounds a good sign or a bad one?
Neither one on its own, because the grounds do not prophesy. The sign shows what is on your mind, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh. The dragon works as a mirror here and sets nothing in your future.
What does the dragon at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The dragon down there is read as an old story or as something coming out of your past. The days just ahead are told by signs near the rim, and other people by the far side from the handle.
The sign in your cup reflected one minute of your life. The chart of the sky for the minute you were born I can work out for real.
