Meaning in the coffee cup

What does Rooster mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?

The rooster crows out good news and proclaims the end of a hard time, as dawn ends the dark. Yet let it not crow too loud, for it sometimes points to one who sows discord among people.

What does Rooster mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?

The rooster announces a piece of news, and if its head is raised in a bright patch the news is all the more welcome. It calls you to awaken and grants the confidence to raise your own voice.

What does Rooster mean in the German / Central-European reading?

In the cup the rooster announces an early visit and good news, often from a neighbour or your own household. It bids you rise and set briskly to work, for the morning belongs to the diligent.

Where in the cup does Rooster appear — and what does that change?

Standing high at the rim with head raised, the glad tidings come swift and clear; low and dark at the bottom it warns rather of the troublemaker, and at the handle its crow concerns you and your home itself.
