Eye in Coffee Grounds
The evil eye and envy. This is a heavy sign — a warning, not a verdict: its place and the neighboring shapes will show how serious it is.
Core Meaning
In Turkish coffee reading, the eye is the nazar, the evil eye: someone envies you and is watching your affairs. The sign advises against boasting about your successes. Its second meaning is attentiveness: keep your eyes open.
In Love and Business
In love. Envy of your relationship, a jealous eye from outside.
In business and money. You are being watched; don't talk about your plans too early.
Where It Lies in the Cup
- Near the handle: the warning concerns you yourself and your home: the tension is within, and you are the one who can ease it.
- Opposite the handle: the trouble comes from strangers or circumstances and will only graze you.
- To the right or left of the handle: on the left, the heavy sign is leaving your life — the worst is behind you; on the right, it is still approaching, and there is time to prepare.
- At the rim and on the sides: at the rim, a warning for the coming days; on the sides, for the coming months.
- On the bottom: a difficulty in the past or at the foundation of the situation; if there are light signs at the rim, it is being left behind.
- Clarity: a clear, large shape is a sure and important sign; a blurry one means the event may still pass you by. Dots around a shape link its meaning to money.
