How to read Wolf in tea leaves
Wolf in a tea leaf reading points to Beware of an avaricious and hard-hearted neighbour or friend; Beware of jealous intrigues. 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, wolf 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: Wolf in coffee grounds.

Rim
Near the rim, wolf describes something close to the present: news, movement, or a matter already visible to the querent.
Middle
In the middle of the cup, wolf points to the developing stage of the question and the choices that shape the coming weeks.

At the base, wolf is slower and more rooted. It may show a hidden cause, a delayed result, or an emotional foundation.
