Heart in Coffee Grounds: What It Means
Two readings: what folk coffee cup reading says about this sign, and what it actually shows.
What the folk omen says
In folk coffee reading the heart is the great sign of love: feeling, attachment, a warm bond. Clear and even, it is taken for love returned. Blurred at the edges, it is taken for doubt.
What the sign actually shows
The truth is that a heart surfaces in the grounds for someone who was already thinking about love. It shows one thing: what weighs with you right now is a matter of the heart. Ask yourself who your thoughts went to while you were holding the cup.
Heart by place in the cup
A heart right at the rim speaks of a feeling about to warm you, in the days just ahead. Sunk toward the bottom, it reads as an old attachment or a love out of the past that still has its hold. By the handle the heart is your own warmth and your home. On the far side it is someone whose heart is turning toward you. A large clear heart weighs more than a small blurred one.
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 heart 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 heart works as a mirror here and sets nothing in your future.
What does the heart at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The heart 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.
