Wolf in Coffee Grounds
Courage or a strong opponent. This is an ambiguous sign: its meaning is decided by its place and the neighboring shapes.
Core Meaning
The wolf is an ambiguous sign. In the Turkish tradition it means courage and luck (the wolf is an ancient totem of the Turkic peoples); in the Russian tradition, a strong opponent or danger. Its surroundings decide: next to light shapes it is your own courage, next to heavy ones, an enemy.
In Love and Business
In love. A strong but jealous passion; a rival.
In business and money. Fierce competition; whoever acts decisively will win.
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.
