FAQ
Are wings 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 wings work as a mirror here and set nothing in your future.
What do the wings at the bottom of the cup mean?
The bottom of the cup is the distant and the deep. The wings 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.
