When winter frosty days come, each of us tries to look into the near and distant future. From St. Andrew's Day (December 13) and right up to Holy Baptism (January 19) lasts a period that the Slavs call Christmas time. Our ancient ancestors believed that the predictions of fate at this time are as true as possible. Therefore, many mysterious rituals were performed. For example, fortune-telling on coffee grounds. The interpretation of the drawings and symbols at the bottom of the cup not only opened the veil over future events, but also often became a fun and exciting activity.

Basic Rules

If you decide to tell fortunes in this way, you should stock up on natural coffee of two varieties: fine and coarse grinding. Pour one large spoon of the first type and two of the second with hot boiling water. At the same time, the cup from which you will drink a fragrant drink should be white, without patterns.

When you treat yourself to delicious coffee, there will be thick at the bottom of the dishes. Then take a cup with your left hand and focus, mentally ask a question that interests you. At the same time, scroll the container three times around its axis clockwise. After that, with a sharp movement of the hand, turn the cup over on the saucer, count to seven, lift it and find out what happened. Carefully inspect the container, do not forget to inspect the plate. The thick, which was on the saucer, speaks of past events, the remaining in the cup - of the future.

Be as objective as possible when looking at the resulting symbols and drawings. It is better, of course, if close people help you: they will say that they see from the side and with a fresh look will determine the figures left after fortune-telling on coffee grounds. It is better to interpret the drawings from left to right, then vice versa. Then consider the bottom of the cup and the symbols that have formed in the direction from its edges to the center.

Cats and mice

The contours of these two domestic animals are often seen at the bottom of the cup by the person conducting the ritual. Usually, such drawings do not bode well if you notice them while fortune telling on coffee grounds. Interpretation: the cat is a symbol of cunning, poverty and dirt. If it is closer to the top of the cup, this means that you have enemies who dominate you and lead you into a dead corner. Therefore, you need to carefully analyze the actions of people from your environment and stop such connections. Do not get involved in major disputes, do not argue and do not provoke scandals. If the cat is located at the bottom of the dishes, expect a serious quarrel with relatives. If an animal is next to a tree, there will be theft or imprisonment, with a person or person - find new opponents at work.

The mouse is also a bad sign. First of all, the animal warns of the losses that close people can inflict on you. Watch carefully for other figures when you arrange fortune-telling on coffee grounds. Interpretation: the mouse is next to the circle - carefully monitor your jewelry and valuables that you may lose; if it is near a triangle, you can return the missing thing or restore the spoiled one; an animal conveniently located in the middle of the dishes - material difficulties and financial losses.

As for bats, they are more favorable to those who conduct fortune-telling on coffee grounds. Interpretation: a bat is a sign of friendship and longevity. Often her outlines promise a meeting with a pleasant stranger who will help in life, become an ally. Also, the animal can warn about false comrades, conspiracies, intrigues and gossip emanating from them.

Other animals

First of all, let's talk about the dog, horse and pig. These animals are more likely than others to contact with a person, help him in hard work and even feed him. The dog is a friend. If you saw it in the remnants of coffee, higher powers warn of events related to your comrades. For example, if the animal is in the middle of a cup, you will make friends with an influential person. He will offer you a profitable interesting business, which will invariably lead to success and prosperity. The dog is at the bottom of the dishes - friends will solve your problems, an animal surrounded by clouds - there is a traitor among loved ones, near the outlines of the face - do not neglect the advice, they are quite practical and useful. A frightened animal with disheveled hair is a meeting with comrades of childhood and adolescence.

If you decide to conduct fortune-telling on coffee grounds, the interpretation of the picture of the pig that you got will be negative. This animal is a symbol of lack of freedom, dependence on circumstances and other people. If the pig is at the top of the dishes - you feed and support the freeloader, below - you yourself live at someone else's expense. The road running next to the animal means the spread of unfair rumors about you. Be careful, someone is trying to tarnish your reputation.

But the horse seen in the coffee mass promises good luck. If it is at the bottom of the tank, a secure old age awaits you, in the middle - wealth and a successful union. The bull obtained during fortune-telling means happiness, the hare - indecision and cowardice, the goat - travel and adventure, the cow - acquaintance with a pleasant person of the opposite sex, the fox - loss, the bear - danger, and the deer - intelligence.

Overseas guests

They are also often obtained during divination on coffee grounds. Interpretation: the elephant is a sign of abundance and power. You are an important person, respected and in power. If an animal has a raised trunk - luxury and money will fall on your head unexpectedly, but will certainly be the result of your diligence and hard work. Usually, the result obtained during the ritual often depends on how correctly and competently divination was carried out on coffee grounds. The interpretation of "elephant" is unambiguous: invariably means only prosperity and success.

But the interpretation of the lion varies depending on its location and posture. This animal is usually interpreted as a symbol of dignity, arrogance and pride. If he is evil, with an open mouth and a raised tail, love torments and experiences await you; dark animal - meeting with influential authorities; with stripes on the head and body - connections with the underworld, scrapes, disputes; near another animal - danger, the collapse of a dream.

Camel is a very good sign. It means kindness, a cheerful and prosperous life. An animal located in the middle of a cup promises the favor of fortune, next to a tree - wealth, near the heart - dreaminess and naivety, in the company of clouds - a decent fortune. If there are stars around the camel, this means a quick and safe replenishment of the family. The kid will be smart and successful. If you saw a tiger in coffee, fate asks you to think about your emotions. Learn to control and manage them.

Amphibians and insects

If during the ceremony on the dishes you notice the figure of something terrible and poisonous, such as a scorpion or a spider, do not be alarmed. This does not always promise an unhappy future. True, the statement does not apply to the snake, the outlines of which speak exclusively of trouble. Be on the lookout if a figurine of this animal appears when you are doing divination on coffee grounds. Interpretation: the snake is the personification of insincerity and lies, treacherous relationships and intrigues. The reptile at the top of the cup predicts the gloating of enemies from the pain inflicted on you, in the center - expect victory over a long-standing enemy. If the viper is torn apart, you should carefully consider your health in order to avoid lingering ailments.

The frog is a sign of mutual love, good news and success. The lizard is also a good omen that promises surprise and great things. Scorpio is always an enemy waiting for you around the corner, as well as monetary losses and unsuccessful connections. The turtle makes it clear that the caution you took was not superfluous. You managed to avoid problems, so keep up the good work. As for the crocodile, it promises a successful business, sensitivity and excessive sentimentality.

Fortune telling on coffee grounds, interpretation of signs is an entertaining pastime, the mood is especially lifted when the outlines of insects appear, because they always bring happiness. A bee promises profitable cooperation, a fly - countless treasures, an ant - successful business deals, a butterfly - fresh impressions and joy from communication, a spider - an unexpected gift.

Birds

A sign of a positive and good future is a rooster. It is often obtained from those people who often perform the fortune-telling ritual on coffee grounds. Interpretation: the rooster embodies a family idyll, harmony, complete harmony. Often this is new news. If a feathered one sits on a hill, you will soon enter into a marriage union; stands near the road - expect a loss from an influential person; surrounded by trees - help from a stranger. If the rooster's beak is open, this is a sign of good news. A bird turned upside down promises a change in your position for the better.

A duckling has always been considered a good symbol. He also signaled the defenselessness and vulnerability of the person who received his image during divination on coffee grounds. Interpretation: a duck in the middle of a cup - take care of your soulmate, his or her heart may break from your actions; next to a person - you have a reliable friend; near another bird - beware of unwanted neighborhood.

Our ancestors also considered the images of a dove and a swan to be good signs. The first promised fidelity and stability in relations, the second - unexpected financial receipts, confidence in the future. As for the swan, they also paid attention to the color of the graceful bird. If it is too dark - avoid nervous breakdowns, light - get a good position in society. Two birds intertwined with their necks mean great unbreakable love.

The crow has always been the epitome of trouble and confusion. The chicken foreshadowed stupidity and material damage. The eagle promised unexpected news, and the owl - death or serious illness.

fantasy creatures

Any ritual is always shrouded in mysticism: soaking up this mysterious and slightly fabulous atmosphere, we often imagine unrealistic images for ourselves, we see dragons, mermaids, elves. Of course, this also happens during fortune-telling on coffee grounds. Interpretation: the dragon is a symbol of unexpected circumstances, new meetings that can change your life. It can also portend anxiety and doubt, especially in financial matters. It is better to abandon the complicated commercial scams. Pay attention to every little thing in order to correctly conduct the ritual of divination on coffee grounds (interpretation). The dragon is a mythical creature, so its location on the dishes affects the essence of the prediction. Sometimes he promises parting with his beloved. In other cases, it promises the implementation of plans and the fulfillment of a dream.

Instead, the image of a mermaid should be a red traffic light for you. You should immediately stop, think, rethink the situation if you saw it, making fortune-telling on coffee grounds. Interpretation: mermaid - instability and uncertainty, the danger of seduction, temptation and deceit. Be careful in love and business affairs, trust only yourself and finally take off your rose-colored glasses.

It is interesting that often a fortuneteller sees only the tail, without the torso and head. In this case, the symbol is called a fish, and it has a completely different meaning. The main thing is to distinguish it from a mermaid: therefore, look carefully when doing fortune-telling on coffee grounds. Interpretation: fish - complete well-being. If it is at the top of the cup - expect important events, below - earn authority and respect in society. The meaning of the symbol changes very much if the number of characters changes, so correctly decipher fortune-telling on coffee grounds - interpretation. A fish, for example, if it is not alone, but is in a school, is a good sign. You will get one chance in a thousand to make huge profits and improve your well-being.

Items

A cozy house, a funny key, an ominous coffin... Their outlines can also often be seen on the walls of dishes during the rite of divination on coffee grounds. Interpretation:

• The key is that your dreams will come true soon, you will get everything in order to finally achieve your goal. The symbol also prophesies career advancement, a creative upsurge. Perhaps you will even write a brilliant work.

There are a lot of things in our life. To interpret what happened to you, it is worth looking through a special book, which describes in detail each thing and its meaning.

Nature

Carrying out fortune-telling on coffee grounds, the interpretation of symbols is best done in a small company, where everyone, in their own way, creatively deciphers the resulting outlines on the cup. Yes, and together with friends, this process is much more fun: first, a pleasant ceremony of savoring coffee, then laughter, noise and uproar during the analysis of pictures. At the same time, people often drop out different elements of the environment, which also have their own meanings.

So, clover is a sign that soon your complicated life will stabilize. The black bar will be left far behind, and you will be able to enjoy success. Lonely people will definitely get acquainted with the betrothed. If only clover leaves have formed on the dishes - expect complete impeccable happiness, a flower - popularity and fame will overtake you.

The bush says that you have a dream, an idea, a goal. But the plan is not destined to come true, so do not waste your energy and money in vain. If there are thorns on the bush - you will be deluded for a long time, flowers - you will lose everything on the way to your dream. Bare branches - experiences, loss, suffering. Perhaps you realize that the best years are irretrievably gone.

Willow - a warning of separation, defeat, fall. For men, the sign promises trouble and difficulties, problems with the law. Willow branch - to life problems that will cleanse your soul. If the tree is near the river - pay attention to your health, take care of yourself.

Oak always signifies a winner. You will be the first, despite the intrigues behind your back. They say you walked over corpses. Let be! After all, you became a leader, and that was the goal. True, during this competition I had a chance to lose valuable qualities of character, to forget about what humanity, flexibility, kindness are. You have become impenetrable to all feelings, even to love and friendship. Oak is a warning: remember that strength and determination are good only in those situations that do not affect the interests of people close to you.

Other figures

People who have not yet found their mate always dream of seeing a heart at the bottom of the cup. After all, it promises the beginning of a romantic relationship, which may develop into serious feelings. Believe that it will be so. Just for starters, take the simplest step towards love: do fortune-telling on coffee grounds, interpretation of symbols.

Take a close look at your surroundings and eliminate this error. If the sign is at the bottom of the cup, you will very quickly find your chosen one. Don't give up on your dreams.

A star means liberation from painful people, events, deeds. Finally, you will breathe deeply, throw off the yoke, take a break from the current difficult situation. A big star is a sign of great happiness, a six-pointed one is a hint that it's time to go on vacation or at least take a day off.

The cross is a sign of bad events when it is dark, and a herald of a family idyll, if it is light. The arc - a warning about a traitor, an envious person, a square - promises stability and a smooth flow of affairs. If you see numbers, consider all possible combinations of them. Most likely, they add up to a date that will be a turning point in your life.

Line: broken line - to travel, straight line - to good events. If two curves intersect - you will find instability, the collapse of plans, the loss of a loved one. If you saw a dotted line, difficulties and troubles will fall on your head. You may become seriously ill.

The circle is a sign of good relations with employees, family members. You are a wonderful conversationalist, sensitive and flexible. You know how to listen, and people appreciate it in you. You get along with almost everyone.

So that you do not fall out of this, remember: when conducting a ritual of divination on coffee grounds, we perceive the interpretation of the symbols formed as a prediction of very close events.
