Ship

Ship is a sign from the “Travel & News” group. Here is how Ship is read in the coffee grounds across the traditional schools:

Meaning in the coffee cup

What does Ship mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?

The ship carries you away from cares and sets sail toward new waters; fate opens a wide horizon where your deliverance awaits.

What does Ship mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?

A ship brings news from afar and stirs longing: soon a friend from distant lands knocks at your door, and a journey asks to be met with calm steadfastness.

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

The ship brings news from afar and perhaps a visit from a dear person travelling a long way. A small journey or parcel is at hand; meet it with a calm hand and a packed case.

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

At the upper rim the ship heralds imminent news or arrival, at the bottom a distant, slow-ripening voyage; opposite the handle it comes from strangers across the sea, near the handle it concerns you and your own.
