Snail in Coffee Grounds
Slow progress. This is an ambiguous sign: its meaning is decided by its place and the neighboring shapes.
Core Meaning
A snail means a slow pace of events and solitude. Things will drag on longer than you'd like, but they will reach their goal. The sign advises you not to fret or force the situation.
In Love and Business
In love. Caution, reserve; someone is retreating into their shell.
In business and money. Delays and red tape, but no failure.
Where It Lies in the Cup
- Near the handle: the sign concerns you yourself: how it turns out depends largely on you.
- Opposite the handle: this will come from outside; whether for good or ill, the neighboring shapes will tell.
- To the right or left of the handle: on the right, the sign is gaining strength; on the left, its influence is fading.
- At the rim and on the sides: at the rim, within the coming days and weeks; on the sides, within the coming months.
- On the bottom: what has already taken shape and lies at the foundation of the situation, or the distant future.
- 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.
In Combinations
This shape has no established traditional pairs: it's read by its place in the cup and by the mood of the neighboring signs. Next to light shapes its meaning softens; next to heavy ones it becomes sterner.
