A few weeks before my father met my mother, his aunt read the future in his coffee cup. She told him that she saw the shape of an aeroplane and a heart, which she inferred meant that he would meet a foreigner and fall in love. My father had scoffed at this having met many tourists in his time, all of whom had been disposable.
A short time later, my mother arrived on an aeroplane from the UK, met my father on the third day, and said goodbye to life as she knew it.
The ancient art of coffee cup reading (officially known as Tasseography) is a skill that sadly not many of us have anymore – myself included. But if you want to give it a try I have jotted down some researched important points below to start you off! If anyone does know of any skilled tasseographers out there, please do leave a comment below!
How to Read a Coffee Cup
Your cup should be held facing out on its side and be turned three times clock-wise. The cup should then be overturned onto a paper towel for a few minutes.
Remove the paper towel and hold your cup upright. You are now ready to interpret the signs and symbols that the coffee residue has left behind in your cup.
Types of symbols
Animals, initials, nature and more could be present in your cup!
If there are big shapes close to the top of the cup, a big event will happen soon.
Vertical lines apparently mean life goals – straight lines represent concise plans whilst wavy or broken lines can mean uncertainty.
The Cup
Generally, the bottom part of the cup represents people, situations, or ideas from your past, the middle part on the sides of the cup represents the present whilst the top part indicates your future!
