Keyhole

The keyhole symbol in coffee fortune reading represents secret about to surface, hidden opportunity, curiosity. The keyhole represents a truth or an opportunity you cannot yet fully see but which will soon open to you. Unlike the key, the keyhole asks you to be the one who waits: the door has not opened yet, but the lock is in place and will turn at the right moment. This symbol shows that hidden information, an unspoken offer, or someone's true intention will soon come to light. The state of the keyhole guides the reading. Light coming through the keyhole means the awaited news is favorable; darkness means a little more patience is required until the right key arrives. A large, ornate keyhole says an important matter will be revealed; an old-style padlock keyhole points to a traditional or deeply rooted matter coming into the open. A small keyhole represents a private, personal secret. Several keyholes together indicate multiple opportunities and several secrets surfacing at once. A clogged or broken keyhole speaks of a matter that needs a little more waiting. Near the rim, the keyhole points to a closed door reopening very soon; close to the handle, a matter being puzzled over within the family that will be resolved; at the bottom, a question you have wondered about for a long time finally becoming clear.

It may mark a matter where an expression of affection is finally about to be voiced. Professionally it says an unannounced offer, promotion, or contract will soon be made official. Financially it points to a hidden chance for gain. Spiritually it reminds you that your intuition will lead you to the right information at the right time; the patient seeker finds the door. In Turkish folk tradition the keyhole is read as "the secret by which a closed door reopens." It is often interpreted together with the key symbol. Read the keyhole with its neighbors; they reveal which door is about to open.
