Triangle in Coffee Grounds: What It Means
A triangle in the coffee grounds is a sign that you are waiting for life to swing one way or the other - your nose for the chance that tips things, and the way your own hunch has been leaning lately. The grounds don't foretell your fate, and in the triangle you read what is on your mind now.
First layer · what tradition says
What the folk omen says
In folk coffee reading the triangle stands for luck and a sudden turn: a happy accident, an unexpected gift out of nowhere. Point upward it was read as a rise in your fortunes, point downward as a loss or a slump.
Second layer · the honest read
What the sign actually shows
You pick the triangle out when you are waiting for life to swing hard one way or the other. It is about your nose for the chance that tips the cup up or down. Look closely at which way your own hunch has been leaning lately.
Triangle by place in the cup
A triangle at the rim points to an unexpected chance turning up in the next few days. Settled toward the bottom, it is an older turn or a piece of luck that has been ripening at a distance. By the handle the triangle is a change in your own affairs, opposite the handle it is a chance that comes in from outside. A large clear triangle point up carries more weight than a small upended one.
FAQ
Is a triangle in coffee grounds a good sign or a bad one?
In the cup the triangle is neither good news nor bad, because the grounds do not prophesy. The triangle works as a mirror here, showing what you are turning over now, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh.
What does the triangle at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep, so the triangle down there is read as an old story or as something coming out of your past. The triangle near the rim would speak of the days just ahead, and on the far side from the handle, of other people.
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.
