General description: The Coffin Card in Lenormand typically represents endings, loss, and transformation. It signals a phase coming to a close—this can be painful, but it’s often necessary to clear the way for something new. In some cases, it may also suggest illness, depression, or withdrawal. Still, the card doesn’t always speak of literal death—it’s about necessary conclusions and the opportunity they provide for renewal.
