How to predict the future with coffee grounds: three steps to see the future

Not everyone knows that after Halloween, some countries celebrate another mystical holiday. November 1 is the Day of Coffee Grounds Divination.

According to Celebratoday, there is indeed a certain connection between these holidays. It is believed that a portal to the afterlife opens on Halloween, so the next day's predictions can be very accurate.

According to the Greek Reporter, the tradition of telling fortunes on the remains of a drink originated in China, where green tea leaves were used to tell fortunes. With the spread of the tradition, people began to turn to coffee grounds, which lie on the walls and bottom of the cup in complex patterns, for answers. This practice is called tasseography, or tasseomancy. Some people perceive it as entertainment, others take it seriously. We will tell you how to do it correctly and how to read the signs written on coffee.

How to read coffee grounds correctly

People who read coffee grounds professionally say that the emotional, physical, and mental state of a person affects the pattern that remains in the cup after they drink coffee. Based on this pattern, you can make predictions about your personal life, financial well-being, career, and many other issues. To do this, take three steps.

First, you need to prepare for the ritual properly. Only natural coffee brewed in a Turkish pot can tell the future. The required proportion is 1 tablespoon of ground beans per 100 ml of water. It is important to prevent the drink from "escaping" from the Turk during brewing. Pour the coffee into a plain white, regular-shaped cup so that nothing distorts the results. No sugar or milk should be added.

Then the person being divined should concentrate on the question they are looking for the answer to, take the cup with their left hand and, thinking about their question, slowly drink the coffee, savoring each sip. At the bottom of the cup, there should be a thick layer with a small amount of liquid so that it can slowly drain down the walls.

Now you can start the divination. Lay the cup on its side and turn it clockwise three times to distribute the grounds over the walls. Pour out the excess through the side where the handle is attached, turn the cup upside down on a saucer or napkin, and leave it there for about a minute. This should allow the pattern to form completely.

Interpretation of symbols

Before looking into the cup, try to clear your mind and then focus on the symbols you see. Don't try to look at the symbols too closely - as a rule, the first association is always the most accurate. Experienced coffee grounds divination masters say that the really important messages are always surprisingly clear and understandable.

At the bottom of the cup, you will see symbols related to the past. The middle part of the cup will tell you about the present. And look for omens of the future at the edges.

Most often, you will come across geometric shapes. Here's what they mean:

Lines

Vertical stripes on the walls of the cup symbolize a person's aspirations. If the line stretches all the way to the edge of the cup, it is the most positive answer to the question that the person asked themselves before drinking coffee - the desire will come true, the goal will be achieved and a bright future will be ahead. But interrupted lines are a bad sign.

Dots

Dots are most often associated with coins, i.e. wealth. Thus, a cluster of dots promises good earnings and financial stability in the future.

Triangles

Triangular patterns symbolize change. Whether it is for the better or the worse depends on where the "arrow" is pointing.

Circles

Round symbols are a good sign. They symbolize completeness, perfection, and success.

Squares

Square and rectangular shapes promise comfort, tranquility, and portend pleasant, carefree days.

You can often see numbers in the cup. Look closely at the symbol next to which you notice a number - next to a line, it can mean the time it will take you to reach your goal. And the number itself can portend something specific:

0 means repetition;

1 - a new beginning;

2 - a crossroads, a fork in the road;

3 - a meeting

4 - an upcoming trouble;

5 - success;

6 - sex;

7 - the beginning of a new relationship;

8 - good luck;

9 - opportunity.
