What it means where it appears
In the Slavic way of reading a cup, where a shape sits tells you when its meaning is likely to matter.
- Rim: days to a month.
- Sides: months to a year.
- Bottom: the distant outcome.
Near the handle, which stands for you and the present, the sign concerns you directly and tends to arrive sooner.
Far from the handle, it points to people and events further from you, and to a later time.
Good or bad sign?
Mixed sign. Traditionally a mixed sign: its position in the cup and how clear it is decide whether it leans good or bad.
