General Coffin Meaning
The Coffin is the card of endings. It is for this reason that it is often interpreted by Lenormand readers as representing death. When the card takes on a morbid flare, you can predict that the death has been expected and after a long drawn-out illness. In fact, the card is also associated with serious illnesses that can threaten life but don’t necessarily cause death.
As a reader, interpreting death is rather controversial and many readers have personal ethics against doing so. In some countries, it is illegal to give out medical advice during a reading. So, it is important to look at mirroring or surrounding cards for more information before making any deathly predictions!
In Lenormand, Coffin also signals something being put to rest after a long, drawn-out ending. For example, if you have been beating a dead horse in terms of your relationship, then Coffin will pop up to usher in the end. Coffin can symbolize leaving a job or a relationship you lost passion for long ago.
Coffin rarely takes on a pleasant meaning even if the change is welcome. In general, the card can represent a dark spot and negativity. It is very similar to the Clouds card in that sometimes it can signal mental illnesses and depression. Take this Lenormand Coffin card meaning into consideration when interpreting this card.
Finally, the Coffin card is associated with ghosts, including ‘ghosts of the past’ coming back to haunt you. You will often see Coffin in combination with Rider to mark the return of an ex-friend or lover.
Specific Coffin Meanings
Coffin Love Meaning: Coffin can represent the illness of a lover. In some cases, the Coffin can warn that a relationship is doomed to fail.
Coffin Career Meaning: Coffin means that you will lose your job. Sometimes, Coffin predicts that you will catch an illness at work.
Coffin Business Meaning: In a business reading, Coffin will mean that your business is in danger. Take a look at surrounding cards to discover why this may be.
Coffin Positive Meaning: Coffin rarely has an appealing meaning, but it can represent an end to suffering. I can also signal the end of something you want to be put to rest.
Coffin Negative Meaning: For negative readings, Coffin is pretty self-explanatory.
Coffin As A Person: Sometimes, the Coffin card will represent an undertaker, coroner, or another individual who works with dead and dying people. In other readings, Coffin can also symbolize someone from the past.
Coffin Timing Meaning: Because Coffin is card number eight, it predicts that events will unfold in eight days, eight weeks, eight months, or eight years. However, Coffin is the card of endings, so it can mean that an event is either not meant to be or will not ever happen.
