Money in Coffee Cup Reading
A symbol of material return; it concerns income, payments and the concrete result of your effort.
Meaning
Money appears in the grounds as round, full marks. In coffee cup reading it speaks directly of material return: a pending payment, a fee you have earned, or a new source of income.
The number and size of the circles are read as continuity rather than amount. Small scattered marks mean regular but small income; one large, clear circle means a one-off gain.
Traditionally, how close the money is to the handle matters: close means income earned by your own effort; far means income that comes through someone else.
Whether the money sits as separate circles or in a cluster tells you how the income is arranged. Separate circles at intervals mean regular income arriving in pieces; a gathered cluster means a single payment.
Traditionally the symbols beside the money name its source. With a letter it means an official payment or a notice; with a hand, payment given directly; with a road, income from another city or country.
Money in the cup also covers spending. The symbol shows financial movement, not its direction; so depending on where it sits and what you asked, it can be read as money coming in or going out.

Money near the rim shows income arriving soon; at the bottom, a gain that ripens over the long term. In the saucer, a development touching the household budget.
