Vendredi: Shapes Telling Stories

At least when reading tea leaves shapes tell stories.  We’ve looked at geometric and animal shape meanings in the leaves so today, and probably for a few Fridays more, we’ll catch all those miscellaneous shapes in our cup.  From the seeds of trees to harnesses for oxen, we’ve got a lot to cover so let’s get started:

Acorn ~ good health and a run of luck

Airplane ~ unexpected travel; recognition in one’s profession

Anchor ~ success; hope for the future

Armor ~ a knight in armor is a sign of a person trying to avoid contact with the outside world; a reclusive personality

Arrow ~ something major – possibly with negative results – is on the horizon for the petitioner

Axe ~ issues that need immediate attention; cutting ties or addressing addiction

Backpack or book bag ~ the petitioner is carrying – but not sharing – critical knowledge that they need to let go of

Bed ~ the petitioner’s mind is preoccupied as in daydreaming or too much rumination of self

Bell ~ news is on the way to the petitioner and it may be something they have been needed for a while

Boat or ship ~ resolution of a difficult situation or problem; a large ship can indicate the potential to avoid problems

Book ~ open, the book indicates enlightenment; closed, the petition is seeking information they will not find

Boot or shoe ~ the petitioner is being well looked after and kept out of troubling or uncomfortable situation either by someone else or by circumstance

Bottle ~ there are concerns for the petitioners health; whether they are known or unknown depends on the symbol(s) next to or touching the bottle

Bread ~ whether a slice or a loaf of bread is represented in the leaves the meaning is the same: the petitioner is acquisitive and too focused on material things

Bridge ~ a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is drawing near

Bush or hedge ~ the petitioner is blessed with many good friends

That’s a lot to absorb so we’ll leave it here for today.  Next time we’ll look at shapes starting with C through E.  Vendredi heureux ~
