Lines in Coffee Grounds: What They Mean
Two readings: what folk coffee cup reading says about this sign, and what it actually shows.
What the folk omen says
Lines are read as path and direction: the run of events, movement, the road ahead. A straight line was taken for a clear run, a wavy one for uncertainty, a broken one for obstacles waiting along the way.
What the sign actually shows
Lines surface when you feel that life has finally started moving. They are about your road and about whether it runs even or wanders and breaks off. Notice what line has been drawn straight through your days lately.
Lines by place in the cup
Lines at the very rim speak of a path that opens up in the next few days. Running down toward the bottom, they are an older road or a direction chosen long ago. By the handle lines are your own movement, opposite the handle they are the path other people are calling you onto. A clear straight line reads more easily than a wavy, broken or smudged 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
Are lines 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. Lines work as a mirror here and set nothing in your future.
What do lines at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. Lines down there are 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.
