Where in the cup does Flag / Banner appear — and what does that change?

Interpretation and meaning of the flag in tasseography.
The flag stands for triumph, recognition, and a hard-won standing visible to all. It tells you your effort will not stay hidden but will be publicly rewarded and honoured.
What does seeing a flag in the saucer mean?
In the saucer, which shows the home and the past, the flag recalls a victory already won or an honour that strengthens your roots. What you fought for in the past forms the proud foundation you stand on today.
Is the flag a good or bad omen?
The flag is a decidedly good omen of victory, honour, and gain. Its subtle caution is to carry the won triumph with dignity, so that pride does not turn into arrogance.
What does an upright, raised flag mean compared to a drooping or lowered one in the cup?
A high, upright, fluttering flag promises a clear and imminent victory that will undoubtedly be yours. If it hangs limp or lowered, it counsels patience: the triumph is coming, but it still asks for one final effort before the banner rises again in the wind.
