Meaning in the coffee cup

What does Candle mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?

The candle whispers of a wish that comes true through patience, and of a light rising within — a new thought, a clear insight.

What does Candle mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?

Help comes from kind people and the spirit grows clear: if the candle burns bright your love is returned, if it flickers or dies a loss or parting looms.

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

The candle on the table means good news and a welcome visitor close to your heart; in household matters it tells you that someone will lend a helping hand and a small affair settles itself kindly.

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

At the rim the wish is fulfilled or help arrives soon; at the bottom the insight ripens slowly and deep; by the handle the candle lights your own heart and home, opposite it the light — or the comfort — comes from strangers.
