How to read Cow in tea leaves
Cow in a tea leaf reading points to A calm, contented state of mind, peaceful and prosperous days; A prosperous sign. 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, cow 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: Cow in coffee grounds.
