The Triangle
Unexpected fortune or a warning of imbalance.
Positive meaning
A triangle pointing up is one of the most fortunate small symbols — an unexpected gain, a favorable meeting, or news that changes your plans for the better. Multiple upward triangles multiply the luck.
Warning or shadow meaning
A triangle pointing down warns of a plan that will not hold — a project attempted for the wrong reason, or an alliance built on unequal terms.
Position in the cup
Near the rim: the shift arrives quickly. Near the handle: it involves you personally. Opposite the handle: someone else brings it to you.
