Cross
Shapes & LinesCross is a sign from the “Shapes & Lines” group. Here is how Cross is read in the coffee grounds across the traditional schools:
Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Cross mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The cross speaks of a victory won through hardship; yet it also carries a shadow of farewell, for a dear one may pass on, as fate decrees.
What does Cross mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
The cross tells of troubles, sacrifice and delay; it whispers of a loss or someone who wishes you ill, and urges you to stay watchful through this heavy time.
What does Cross mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The cross points to a worry or vexation that weighs on the house for a while, often a delay or a small burden one must bear with patience. Stay level-headed through this time, and the weight will lift again.
Where in the cup does Cross appear — and what does that change?
At the rim the trial is near and soon over, at the bottom it weighs heavily and runs deep, near the handle the sacrifice touches you or your home itself, and opposite the burden comes from outside.
