Spider
AnimalsSpider is a sign from the “Animals” group. Here is how Spider is read in the coffee grounds across the traditional schools:
Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Spider mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The spider warns of a trap or a toxic entanglement you might be caught in; yet whoever weaves their web patiently, as it does, may still reap a gain in the end.
What does Spider mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
A spider in the cup promises luck and reward for industrious work; soon an unexpected surprise, a windfall, or even an inheritance may cross your path.
What does Spider mean in the German / Central-European reading?
In the cup the spider is held a bringer of luck and promises that steady diligence will soon pay off in hard coin. Whoever patiently spins their web as it does may hope for saved pennies, a good deal, or an unexpected gift.
Where in the cup does Spider appear — and what does that change?
At the rim the chance or the trap is spun soon; at the bottom an old entanglement lies deeply woven, near the handle the web concerns your own home, and opposite the windfall comes from a stranger's hand.
