How to interpret the shapes with tasseography?

At the bottom of your cup, you’ll be able to see a shape or figure. Each figure has a corresponding interpretation.

  • Circles: If they prevail over the other figures, you are set to make money. Conversely, if there are only a few of them, you will have financial difficulties.
  • Squares: If there are a lot of squares, you will suffer some inconveniences.
  • An elongated square, close to the rectangle, announces a marital dispute.
  • Ovals: If there are many of them, you will be successful in business.
  • Lines: If there are many of them, they are an omen of a happy old age. If they snake, you will have a difficulty.
  • Triangles: If only one appears, it symbolizes employment. If three appear one after the other, it is a sign of great happiness.
  • A diamond: This shape announces great happiness in love.
  • Birds: In the shape of a "V", a sign of happiness.
  • A snake: This symbolizes betrayal.
  • A spider: This announces financial success.
