Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Numbers mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
A number is the measure of the hour in the book of fate: it names the span — a day, a month — until the promised thing comes to pass.
What does Numbers mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
A number counts off the days, weeks or months until an event and is generally read as a lucky, fortunate sign for what is coming.
What does Numbers mean in the German / Central-European reading?
Numbers in the grounds are down-to-earth signposts of daily life: they tell you how many days or weeks remain until a letter, a visit, or a small expense. Count them calmly, for they put your house and your plans in order.
Where in the cup does Numbers appear — and what does that change?
At the rim the number counts a few days to the event, at the bottom months or years; by the handle the span concerns you yourself, opposite it an event among strangers or far away.
