Ladder 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
The ladder in folk coffee reading stands for growth and for moving up step by step: a career going uphill, a matter rising rung by rung. Rungs going up were tied to a climb and a promotion, ones leading down to a dip or a retreat for a while.
What the sign actually shows
The ladder surfaces when you are set on climbing higher than you stand right now. It is about your ambition and about a road you get through one step at a time. Have a look at which rung is the next one in front of you and whether you are ready to stand on it.
Ladder by place in the cup
A ladder at the rim points to a climb that starts in the next few weeks. Toward the bottom it is an old ascent or steps you got through some time ago. By the handle the ladder is your own growth and the work you are running, opposite the handle it is advancement that depends on other people. A large clear ladder counts for more than a small blurred one that gets lost against the wall.
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 ladder 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 ladder works as a mirror here and sets nothing in your future.
What does the ladder at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The ladder 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.
