Letter 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 letter, drawn as an envelope or a square, is read as word arriving: news, a document, a message that matters. Clean edges meant good word. Dots scattered around it meant news that brings bother.
What the sign actually shows
A letter in the grounds belongs to news you are waiting for or dreading. Finding it in a random blot says you are already braced for something to land, and the bracing started a while ago. Who is it you want to hear from?
Letter by place in the cup
Close to the rim a letter belongs to word arriving within days. Deeper down, toward the bottom, it points to an old piece of news, or to an answer you have been waiting a long time for. By the handle the news comes from your own circle, opposite the handle it comes from outside it. A large clear envelope carries more weight 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 letter 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 letter works as a mirror here and sets nothing in your future.
What does the letter at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The letter 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.
