How to read Squirrel in tea leaves
Squirrel in a tea leaf reading points to Is contentment and cheerfulness; although you may never be rich expect to be loved by those around you and, on the whole, will lead a happy life. 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, squirrel 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.

How placement changes the reading
Rim
Near the rim, squirrel describes something close to the present: news, movement, or a matter already visible to the querent.
Middle
In the middle of the cup, squirrel points to the developing stage of the question and the choices that shape the coming weeks.
Base
At the base, squirrel is slower and more rooted. It may show a hidden cause, a delayed result, or an emotional foundation.
Handle
Near the handle, squirrel is personal to the querent, their home circle, or a decision only they can make.
