Coffin Lenormand meaning
ending, pause, closure
The core meaning
Coffin marks an ending, closure, exhaustion or a standstill. Some situations finish; others need a pause before anything can continue.
When this card comes second
The Coffin card can describe the first card as ending or inactive. This is one starting point; a literal meaning or the full combination may fit the question better.
Position changes the question
In a three-card line, background, present and direction are different lenses on the same core meaning. In a nine-card spread, the center is considered alongside both its row and column. In a Grand Tableau, distinguish the drawn card from its fixed house.
A practical example
Coffin + Sun can fit relief after a project closes: the end remains real, but room for renewed energy appears. Sun + Coffin begins with activity or success and then places a stop around it.
What this card does not prove
Coffin does not predict a death. Read endings, pauses and closure in the context of the actual question.
