Second layer · the honest read
What the sign actually shows
The truth is that the eagle surfaces in the cup of someone who secretly tries great heights on for size and is afraid to want them out loud. It's about your wish to rise above the petty bustle and see your whole life at once, from a bird's-eye view. Ask yourself which summit you marked out long ago, and what stops you from spreading your wings.

FAQ
Is an eagle 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 eagle works as a mirror here and sets nothing in your future.
What does the eagle at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The eagle 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.
