ObjectsKnife is a sign from the “Objects” group. Here is how Knife is read in the coffee grounds across the traditional schools:
Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Knife mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The knife cuts a bond in two — separation or divorce; what was once joined, fate now severs with a sharp blade.
What does Knife mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
A knife warns of a broken friendship, quarrels and harm, of an intrigue against you; if the point turns downward, it warns of self-inflicted damage.
What does Knife mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The knife warns of a quarrel in the house or with neighbours, of sharp words that can split a friendship in two. Keep the peace at the family table and say nothing in the heat of the moment that can hardly be mended later.
Where in the cup does Knife appear — and what does that change?
At the rim the break is imminent, at the bottom an old, deep feud smolders; near the handle it concerns your home, opposite it the cut comes through a stranger or foe.
