Rooster in coffee grounds and tea leaves: meaning

Cicely Kent links the rooster with good news, Highland Seer with prosperity, kp.ru with family harmony. The Turkish dictionary is the one source that does not read the rooster favorably. No entry for the rooster appears on woman.ru, riamo.ru or fb.ru.

How different traditions read it

The sources disagree here

Turkish tradition

The Turkish dictionary on yemek.com says the rooster points to someone who wants to stir up nifak (discord) among those around the person asking. In the yemek.com article on the ritual, by contrast, the rooster shares one entry with the letter or envelope, said to mean müjde (glad news).

TYTH

Western tea-leaf books

Kent calls the rooster a sign of forthcoming good news, conquest and triumph. Highland Seer lists much prosperity.

On kp.ru the rooster is a good omen of complete family understanding, harmony and love.

In combination with other signs

  • Rooster, letter or envelope (one Turkish entry). The article on the ritual has no entry for the rooster alone. The entry is headed "rooster or letter/envelope", and the glad news it names is said to arrive in the near future.
  • Rim and bottom of the cup (general rule of woman.ru). On woman.ru, figures at the upper rim of the cup speak of the present, and figures at the bottom speak of the future. This is a general rule, not an entry about the rooster.
  • Reading by the cup (general rule of the Turkish article). In the yemek.com article the rooster comes first in an example list of symbols, and each meaning, it adds, is read according to the particular cup. The article also says these meanings are almost the same wherever one goes. Both remarks cover every symbol on the list, not the rooster alone.
