Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Cloud mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
A cloud is a passing shadow over your heart, a grief that longs for tears; yet like all clouds, it too will drift away.
What does Cloud mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
A hard stretch or an approaching problem is gathering; if the cloud is ringed with dots, troubles are piling up, yet none of them will last.
What does Cloud mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The cloud shows a small everyday worry, a gloomy day in the house or a passing sulk; don't take it too much to heart, for the sky soon clears again.
Where in the cup does Cloud appear — and what does that change?
At the rim the cloud clears quickly and the worry soon passes, at the bottom the sorrow runs deeper; near the handle it darkens your own mood, opposite it the shadow comes from outside, from others.
