FAQ
Are wings in coffee grounds a good sign or a bad one?
In the cup the wings are neither good news nor bad, because the grounds do not prophesy. The wings work as a mirror here, showing what you are turning over now, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh.
What do the wings at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep, so the wings down there are read as an old story or as something coming out of your past. The wings 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.
