Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Snake mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The snake warns of a hidden enemy, a cunning and treacherous person; guard your words against betrayal and whispering, for not everyone who smiles wishes you well.
What does Snake mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
A bad omen and a false friend are creeping into your life; gather your wits to recognize the foe drawing near you.
What does Snake mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The snake in the cup warns of gossip and a false tongue close to home: a neighbour or acquaintance is talking behind your back. Keep your household matters to yourself and don't believe every bit of chatter over the garden fence.
Where in the cup does Snake appear — and what does that change?
Near the rim the snake's danger is imminent, at the bottom an old or deep-rooted enmity; by the handle the betrayer lurks in your closest circle, opposite it among strangers or far away.
