Man

The man symbol in coffee fortune reading represents masculine energy, strength, authority. The man figure represents an important male person entering or already present in your life, masculine energy, and an authority figure. The symbol can point to developments related to a male friend, partner, father, business partner, or boss. It can also bring the firm, protective, and active side within you to the foreground. His posture guides the reading. A man standing upright speaks of strong support and a protective role; a seated man, of patient waiting or a person of rank. A walking man speaks of someone entering or leaving your life, and a man seen with an object in hand stands for a person of professional identity. A young man points to romantic interest, a mature man to a mentor or business partner, an older man to a wise family elder offering counsel. A man seen on the handle side of the cup speaks of someone from your inner circle; on the opposite side, of someone foreign or from afar.
