Coffee cup reading is an ancient way of divination, occult and fortune telling. Usually this tradition is passed down from one generation to another by grandmothers. Though it has some universally agreed rules, coffee cup reading is a very personal experience based upon on the sixth sense, clairvoyance and concentration.

The process begins with drinking of Turkish style coffee in a white cup with no inside pattern or decoration as shapes and patterns inside the coffee cup and on the saucer are essential to be visible for reading. After most of the coffee is consumed, cover the cup with the upside-down saucer and swirl three times. Put it down and allow a few minutes for the coffee to settle.

Later, when the cup is separated from its saucer, a big piece of the coffee grind might fall down on to the saucer sometimes. But you need not worry as this is regarded as a positive sign that means you are about to achieve your goals and very soon all your troubles will leave you.

In other instance, the cup and its saucer might be stuck when you try to separate them. Even when you try to lift the cup, the saucer beneath comes with it like glued to it. They say it is prophet’s coffee cup! You need not open the cup as it is an indicator that all your wishes will come true anyway.

Usually, symbols on the saucer talk about the person’s love and home life. Shapes formed at the bottom of the cup tell a lot about your past, middle part presents your current day whereas the top and edges give hints of the unknown future. You can always see clues about your home, family, friends and jealousies at the bottom of your cup.

The various shapes like eye, tree, circle, crown, house, star so on help in interpreting different aspects of life.
