Eagle in Coffee Grounds: What It Means
An eagle in the coffee grounds is a sign of the heights you secretly try on for size - a wish to rise above the small bustle and see your whole life at once, and the summit you marked out long ago. The grounds don't foretell your fate, and in the eagle you read what is on your mind now.

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?
In the cup the eagle is neither good news nor bad, because the grounds do not prophesy. The eagle works as a mirror here, showing what you are turning over now, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh.
What does the eagle at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep, so the eagle down there is read as an old story or as something coming out of your past. The eagle 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.
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.
