Patient making — a web of effort about to catch its reward.
The spider is the cup's patron of quiet industry: not the busy swarm of the bee but the solitary, methodical spinning of something built to hold. A project, a network, a plan you have woven thread by thread is nearly ready to catch what it was made for.
A spider descending on its line is the luckiest form — the old sign of good fortune arriving from above, unearned and welcome. Trust the web you have spun; it is stronger than it looks.
