Mountain 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 mountain is read as an obstacle or a big aim: a hard climb, a serious task ahead of you. The summit promises the achievement, a steep slope promises a heavy road up to it.
What the sign actually shows
A mountain surfaces when something large and difficult is standing in front of you. It is about the challenge you are already carrying around in your head. Look at what height it is you have to take.
Mountain by place in the cup
A mountain at the edge says the climb starts any moment now, in the days just ahead. Settled toward the bottom, it is about an old task or a weight that has been dragging along from far back. By the handle the mountain is your own personal challenge. On the far side, an obstacle that circumstances have put in your way. A large clear summit weighs more than a small hump.
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 mountain 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 mountain works as a mirror here and sets nothing in your future.
What does the mountain at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The mountain 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.
