Meaning
The Coffin marks an ending: a chapter closes, a situation runs its course, or something you've carried is finally laid to rest. It can feel heavy, but it clears space for transformation and renewal. It may also signal a phase of low energy, when rest and retreat are what you need most. Let what is finished go, so something new can begin.
Love & relationships
A relationship or pattern reaches its natural end, or a bond passes through a quiet phase. Closure makes room for a fresh start.
Work & money
A project ends, a role winds down, or money feels tight for a while. Clear out the old before taking on the new.
Advice
Let what's finished be finished, and give yourself time to rest.

As a person
