At the rim the star foretells fortune soon, at the bottom a deep-rooted light of life; near the handle it shines over you and your home, opposite it over distant roads and new acquaintances.

At the handle the star shines directly over you and your house: you yourself are the chosen one of fortune, and a blessing settles over your home. A happy turn begins with you, at home.

What does a star in coffee grounds mean for love and marriage?

In the Ottoman-Persian tradition the star is one of the most auspicious love signs: for the unmarried it heralds a sincere admirer or a soon, happy marriage, and for newlyweds it often points to the blessing of children. When it sits beside a heart, it speaks of a great, fated love. The brighter and clearer the star, the more certain and blessed (hayırlı) the bond.

A large, radiant star is a clear sign that your kısmet is opening: prosperity, financial rise and a fertile (bereketli) chapter of life are on the way.

A whole sky of stars in the cup is held to be an especially good omen for a bright, happy chapter.

The moon gives calm and the star gives guidance, so that hope and steadiness walk hand in hand.
