How to read Frog in tea leaves
Frog in a tea leaf reading points to A change of residence; with other signs, new work or profession; with bad symbols around, unpleasant sights and stories; Success in love and commerce. 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, frog 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: Frog in coffee grounds.
