Other Divinations

Astrological symbols

Astrological symbols become very powerful tools when combined with other symbols. For instance, a letter with an Aries symbol close by would suggest news of a new enterprise, while if it had a Taurus symbol close by, it might relate to money, goods, land, property or possessions. The astrological symbol could also refer to a person who is born under the sign that is shown in the cup.
