What does the Eye figure tell you?
Two eyes are read as someone watching your progress with interest, which can be admiring as easily as curious.
A question to sit with: What have you been seeing out of the corner of your eye that deserves a direct look?
By its place in the cup

| Position in the cup | Meaning |
|---|---|

| At the rimthe near future, within a few weeks | A time to be alert in the coming days. |
| In the middlethe medium term, over weeks | A phase of quiet observation before you act. |
| At the bottomthe past and roots; in some readings the distant future | Insight that has deepened over time. |
| Opposite the handlestrangers, work, what comes from outside | Glances from outside: colleagues, rivals or admirers. |
