Meaning in the coffee cup

What does Balloon mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?

A balloon in the grounds heralds a celebration near at hand and a joy that lifts the heart skyward; what once weighed on you loosens and rises away on the wind. Kismet carries you out of the valley into brighter heights.

What does Balloon mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?

Soon there will be a celebration in the house, a birthday or a party full of laughter and clinking glasses. The worries of recent days lose their weight, and everything suddenly feels lighter and brighter.

What does Balloon mean in the German / Central-European reading?

In the German cup the balloon means a small, cheerful celebration in the home and family, a child's birthday or a party hung with bright streamers. Whatever has been pressing on you soon weighs only half as much, and daily life turns lighter and merrier again.

Where in the cup does Balloon appear — and what does that change?

At the rim the celebration is already within reach; if the balloon sinks to the bottom the joy is distant and long-awaited; near the handle you celebrate within your own home, while opposite it the occasion arrives from afar or through unfamiliar guests.
