Questions about the Umbrella

Is a Umbrella a good sign in a coffee cup?

A clearly drawn Umbrella 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 Umbrella matter most?

Near the rim the Umbrella 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 Umbrella appears more than once?

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