Ladder in Coffee Grounds: What It Means
A ladder in the coffee grounds is a sign that you are set on climbing higher - your ambition, and a road you get through one step at a time, with one particular rung waiting right in front of you. The grounds don't foretell your fate, and in the ladder you read what is on your mind now.
First layer · what tradition says
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.
Second layer · the honest read
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.

What does the ladder at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep, so the ladder down there is read as an old story or as something coming out of your past. The ladder near the rim would speak of the days just ahead, and on the far side from the handle, of other people.
