Lenormand Coffin Card Meaning & Combinations

8 Coffin

Quick hit: End, disease, final, sickly or literally, boxed up

Quality: Negative

Timing: Eight days, months, weeks, the eighth day of the month, August or finished, ended

Detail: This card, similar to the Death card in Tarot, rarely if ever points to death. It is more about an ending or completion. It can also represent disease or illness. It may imply shrouded or buried (hidden). More literally, it can mean boxed up.

Compare: Compare the ending of the Coffin to Mice, which represents something being eaten away.
