Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Square mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The square is the seal of shelter: your fate settles into firm, even walls, and within these four corners you find calm, order and a peace no worry can breach.
What does Square mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
A square tells of a house that holds — security is coming soon, perhaps a gift or a good deal; but if it boxes in another symbol too tightly, you may feel confined for a while.
What does Square mean in the German / Central-European reading?
In the cup the square stands for a secure home and an orderly household where everything has its fixed place. It promises domestic calm and constancy, yet also warns that within too tight an arrangement one should leave a window open.
Where in the cup does Square appear — and what does that change?
At the rim the square promises stability soon, at the bottom a lasting foundation; near the handle it protectively encloses your home, opposite the handle it marks the solid world of strangers.
