Rabbit in coffee grounds and tea leaves: meaning

The Turkish dictionary links the rabbit to good news soon, Highland Seer to fair success in a city, and riamo.ru the hare to a struggle with fears. In both tea-leaf books the rabbit and the hare have separate entries, and this page covers the two animals together. Four sources have a reading: the Turkish dictionary, Cicely Kent, Highland Seer and riamo.ru. The readings differ on whether the animal is a good sign: the Turkish dictionary, both books' hare entries and Highland Seer's rabbit entry are favorable, while Kent's rabbit entry is mixed and riamo.ru sets the hare against the frog's luck.
