What Does Zigzag Mean in Coffee Reading?
A zigzag in a coffee reading means an uneven road. You will get there, but not in a straight line.
The zigzag is a path with corners. It confirms arrival while warning that the route will not be smooth.
The number of turns measures the difficulty: a few bends mean occasional setbacks, many mean constant course correction.

Frequently asked questions
Is a zigzag a bad sign?
Difficult but not negative. The zigzag says you arrive; it only adds that the road bends more than you would like.
Is a zigzag the same as lightning?
No. Lightning is a single sudden event; the zigzag is a long uneven period. One is a moment, the other a season.
