How to read Acorn in tea leaves

Acorn in a tea leaf reading points to Health, strength and gain through industry, a sowing of which expect to see the reaping, a short journey from which there may be great results; good fortune and ease are predicted by several acorns; Improvement in health, continued health, strength, and good fortune. Read it as a tea-leaf sign first: the shape, cup position, and nearby clusters matter as much as the dictionary meaning.

In tea-leaf reading, acorn is not read as a perfect picture. It is read as a cluster of damp leaves, stems, dots, and empty porcelain that briefly resembles the sign. The stronger the resemblance and the clearer its position, the more weight the symbol carries.

This entry is based on paraphrased notes from Highland Seer and Cicely Kent, with wording rewritten for the Tasseography.org tea archive.

For comparison only, the coffee-reading archive also has a related coffee symbol page: Acorn in coffee grounds.
