The Coffin Card (Lenormand): Meaning, Love, Yes or No
The Coffin shows a simple closed box, a symbol of endings and rest. In the gypsy deck it does not speak of literal death but of closing a chapter: a cycle that has run its course, a pause, or something that must be set down to move on.
As a card of reflection, the Coffin may suggest that an ending is making room for something new. It invites you to close the chapter calmly, to thank it for what it taught and to allow yourself rest before beginning again.
