INTERPRETATION
FIGURE X
The most striking features of this cup are the various indications of pleasure and social enjoyment. These being shown by the cake and b.u.t.terfly, while the orchid in conjunction predicts that the consultant's personal charm and power of attraction will result in a future of wealth and social distinction.
The pillar, near the rim and handle, gives a pleasing a.s.surance of security and loyal friends. The bird flying from the cage brings joyful news, that something which has been an obstacle in the way of the consultant's desires is about to be removed, and much future happiness may be looked for.
The figure of the man fis.h.i.+ng from a rock foreshows the arrival of a visitor, who will have some pleasant news to tell.
The toque opposite the handle, but at the bottom of the cup, gives further evidence of the good luck coming to this fortunate consultant.

INTERPRETATION
FIGURE XI
This cup indicates that the consultant is apt to be ruffled by trifles and to become upset by anything unexpected. As, for instance, in the case of the arrival of visitors, shown by the ma.s.s of leaves and chair.
The query beside it shows the indecision of the consultant's mind as to necessary arrangements. The boots on the opposite side denote that lack of income will not trouble the consultant.
But that there is some misfortune or hindrance in the future is shown by the symbol of the broken cross in the bottom of the cup; the head and shoulders of the woman beside it suggest that this trouble will be caused by a woman. Compensation will be found in the happy love affair, which is clearly predicted by the cherries, the figures of the man and woman embracing, and the man's hat and pipe.
Large dots signify that wealth will be added to happiness. This event must not be expected for some months, as the symbols are in the bottom of the cup.
The letter "N" with the dots and small tree beyond show an immediate pleasant happening, in connection with a person whose name begins with that letter.

INTERPRETATION
FIGURE XII
The present conditions of this consultant are not cheering. The large cloud, a.s.sociated with dots, the small dog on the opposite side, and the policeman beyond, all point to grievous money worries, possibly caused by dishonesty.
The somewhat indistinct axe implies a brave effort to overcome, and final mastery of, some of the difficulties.
However, the future has more pleasant prospects, and may be looked forward to with hope. The symbols of the clover and cherries, give a.s.surance of this.
The spray of ivy speaks of the patience with which the present trials are borne, also that true friends are a source of comfort to the consultant.

_Near rim_.--Policeman. Indistinct symbol of an axe. Large cloud.
Dots.
_Centre_.--Two small b.u.t.terflies. Small symbol of a stocking. Small bunch of cherries. Spray of ivy. Clover.
INTERPRETATION
FIGURE XIII
The consultant who has "turned" this cup must be prepared for delays, and must not expect real happiness until rather late in life, this being shown by the bonnet and strings on the side of the cup.
The small symbol of birds on a perch gives further evidence that having to wait is a feature of the consultant's lot. The rock and pipe beyond show some dismay with regard to a dear friend.
