Person 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
A human figure in the grounds was read as a meeting or a guest: an introduction that matters, the arrival of someone you have been waiting on. Near the handle it meant one of your own people, further off a stranger.
What the sign actually shows
A figure in the grounds belongs to whoever is occupying your thoughts. Out of all the random shapes in the cup you picked the one built like a person, and that says whose presence matters to you now. Who were you thinking of while you turned the cup over?
Person by place in the cup
Close to the rim a human figure points to a meeting very soon. Deeper down, toward the bottom, it belongs to someone from the past who is still on your mind, or to an old acquaintance. By the handle it is someone close to you, on the far side a stranger stepping into your life. A large clear figure counts for more 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 human figure 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 human figure works as a mirror here and sets nothing in your future.
What does the human figure at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The human figure 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.
