Tree Tea Leaf Symbol Meaning

How to read Tree in tea leaves

Tree in a tea leaf reading points to Good health and a pleasing assurance of coming prosperity and happiness; with dots nearby an inheritance of property in the country is foreshown! See also Chestnut Tree, Christmas Tree, Elm Tree, Oak Tree, Yew Tree; A lucky sign; a sure indication of prosperity and happiness; surrounded by dots, a fortune in the country. 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, tree 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.
