What Does Hand Mean in Coffee Reading?

A hand in a coffee reading means help or agreement. An open palm offers; a closed one holds back.

The hand is the gesture symbol of the cup. It marks the moment something is offered, accepted, or refused.

Its position tells you which way help runs: reaching toward the handle means help coming to you, reaching away means you are the one giving it.

Where you look in the cup changes the meaning

Help you received before, or a deal already made.
