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.
