A moon in coffee grounds: what does it mean?

  • intuition
  • romance
  • new beginning
  • secret

A moon in coffee grounds is a symbol of romance, intuition and cycles. By tradition a crescent means a new beginning and a full moon means success and a wish come true.

What does a moon in a coffee cup mean?

The moon in your cup points to your inner world, your feelings and your hunches. It often means a romance or a hidden crush. The moon says: trust your intuition.

Where does a moon appear: rim, bottom or handle?

Near the rim, a moon points to romantic or emotional news soon. At the bottom it is a secret or a feeling not yet put into words. By the handle it is about calm and warmth at home.

Big, small or blurry: what changes the meaning?

A crescent is the start of a new chapter; a full moon, complete success. If the moon is covered by a cloud or spots, tradition reads it as a short spell of uncertainty that will soon clear.

The moon and love

In love the moon is a sign of attraction and a romantic mood. If you are hiding something in your heart, the moon advises saying it gently but honestly.
