Questions about the Anchor

Is a Anchor a good sign in a coffee cup?

A clearly drawn Anchor is read as a strong, positive sign. When the shape is faint, broken or blurred, the same message is there but weaker, or it asks you to wait before acting.

Where in the cup does the Anchor matter most?

Near the rim the Anchor speaks about the days and weeks ahead. In the middle it points to the coming months. At the bottom it belongs to the distant future or to something you carry inside you.

What if the Anchor appears more than once?

Repetition intensifies a symbol. Two or more Anchor shapes mean the theme is already in motion around you, often through more than one person or event.
