What Does Eye Mean in Coffee Reading?
An eye in a coffee reading means you are being watched. Whether kindly or not depends on what sits beside it.
The eye is attention directed at you. It appears when someone's interest in your affairs is stronger than you realise.
It also carries the older meaning of the evil eye — envy — which is why it is rarely read as neutral.
