"What does a dense formation of leaves ususally indicate in a reading?"
Celandine sipped her tea as the other students answered leaving a tiny amount in the cup. Carefully placing the cup down she raised her hand and answered.
"Professor, Large clumps of tea leaves indicate trouble or difficulties. If the dense area is near the handle the trouble is of your own making- since the handle represents the person who is being read for- and if it is opposite the handle then the trouble is
not the fault of the person being read for - and the troubles or difficulties are either more or less pronounced based on whether they fall at the rim or the bottom of the cup. Also the dense area generally represents negativity in relation to its symbol and to some extent the symbols around it."
She paused, "Professor, if the dense area is a positive symbol do the two cancel each other out or does it just represent indecision or something like that?"
Cela picked up her cup again, waiting excitedly for the next step; still watching the professor expectantly for the answer to her question.
