How to read Asters in tea leaves
Asters in a tea leaf reading points to Flowers indicate a smooth though possibly a somewhat monotonous life; they also a settled state of mind and sound judgment; if seen in the form of a wreath a death is predicted. 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, asters 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 Cicely Kent's tea-leaf symbol book, rewritten for the Tasseography.org tea archive.
