SYMBOL DICTIONARY · SCISSORS

Scissors in your coffee grounds

A clean cut — a decision made, a tie loosened, freedom in a single snip.

Scissors in the grounds are not a warning but a relief: something overdue to be cut is finally cut. A commitment you outgrew, a thread that tangled everything, an ambiguity you have carried — the cup hands you the scissors and blesses the snip.

Two blades working together also mark good partnership in a decisive act: a choice made cleanly with someone beside you. The cut near the rim is this week's; make it kindly and make it whole.
