Interpretation 17

Although the small symbol of the dagger points towards the consultant, it would not in this case predict a personal danger, as there are no further signs of illness or misfortune. So that it may safely be taken to mean that the consultant will shortly be going to see a friend who has had an operation; this fact is borne out by the short dotted line beyond, leading to the door knocker, under which is written the word "in."

The numeral "7" coming at the end of the dotted line would show that it will probably be seven weeks before this friend recovers from the illness. This friend's name is shown to begin with "L," as that letter is also near the end of the lines.

The more distant signs of a brooch and a cabinet beyond both foretell the unexpected development of good fortune. If the consultant is married, the thimble in the centre would show future changes in the household; that they will be advantageous is shown by the large feather which gives assurance of a prosperous future.

That this may come about through a friend, or lover, is shown by the cigar, and is further emphasized by the large dots beside it.

A warning against extravagance, however, is given to the consultant by the crinoline, which appears amidst these signs of future wealth.

Interpretation #18

The only definite indication of future prospects is shown by the symbol of the organ, and acorn, upon the circle at the bottom of the cup, the position of these signs showing that hope will not be realized for some time.

But these symbols make the prediction of ultimate success a safe one. Should the consultant be a musician, triumph in the profession would be assured.

The coal scoop and beetle are significant of domestic worries and household cares. But the tea cozy in the centre promises compensation in the way of small comforts and affection.
