Sickle
ObjectsSickle is a sign from the “Objects” group. Here is how Sickle is read in the coffee grounds across the traditional schools:
Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Sickle mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The sickle carries a sorrowful message and reminds you that every harvest is also a farewell; what has ripened is now cut so that new things may grow, so grieve gently and know that fate weaves meaning even into letting go.
What does Sickle mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
A disappointment in love or a painful ending may be near, as if something dear were being cut away; yet a harvest also clears the field for a new sowing once the grief has quieted.
What does Sickle mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The sickle says something is coming to an end — a love, a friendship or a habit is being cut away, and that can sting. Yet what has ripened is meant to be harvested; once the ache has faded, there is room again for something new in your life.
Where in the cup does Sickle appear — and what does that change?
At the rim a farewell is close at hand, at the bottom an old loss still echoes; near the handle the cutting touches an affair of the heart, while opposite the handle a tie to distant people or places comes to an end.
