Fish in Coffee Grounds: What It Means
A fish in the coffee grounds is a sign that you can sense an opening and feel ready to catch it - the kind of luck you have turned to face, some chance swimming near you now. The grounds don't foretell your fate, and in the fish you read what is on your mind now.

What the sign actually shows
A fish comes through when you can sense an opening and feel ready to catch it. It is about the kind of luck you have turned to face yourself. Look at what chance is swimming near you right now.
Fish by place in the cup
A fish at the very rim promises luck in your affairs within these few weeks. Deeper, toward the bottom, it is about good fortune that ripens slowly and will be a long time coming. By the handle the fish is a gain passing through your own hands. On the far side, a chance that will swim in from other people. One large clear fish carries more weight than a small school of blurred spots.
