How to read Cart in tea leaves
Cart in a tea leaf reading points to A symbol of fluctuation in fortune and of a tedious waiting for any settled improvement in financial affairs; Fluctuations of 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, cart 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.
