An anchor in coffee grounds is a symbol of stability and reliability. By tradition it means a solid relationship, a safe place or a job where you will find your footing.

What does an anchor in a coffee cup mean?

An anchor holds a ship steady in a storm, so in the cup it means what keeps you steady. It could be a person, a job or a city where you feel safe. The anchor says a calm period follows the wandering.

Where does an anchor appear: rim, bottom or handle?

Near the rim, an anchor points to things settling down soon. At the bottom it means a lasting, solid foundation. By the handle it is calm arriving in the family and a home on firm ground.

Big, small or blurry: what changes the meaning?

A clear anchor means a reliable person or position. A blurry or upside-down anchor is traditionally a changeable time when you have not yet found your footing. An anchor with a heart means faithful love.

The anchor in love

In love an anchor means a loyal, trustworthy partner. If you are wondering about a relationship's future, it says you are standing on solid ground.
