Questions about the Candle
Is a Candle a good sign in a coffee cup?
A clearly drawn Candle 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 Candle matter most?
Near the rim the Candle 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 Candle appears more than once?
Repetition intensifies a symbol. Two or more Candle shapes mean the theme is already in motion around you, often through more than one person or event.
