What it carries
The Coffin marks an ending — but endings are also the ground beginnings rest on. Something has run its course and now asks to be released, mourned, and laid down. This is not a card of doom but of completion and quiet rest. Among the other cards it raises an honest question: what must finish here, so that the space it occupies can finally hold something new?
Love
The end of a phase in a relationship, or the release of what no longer serves the bond. Something is being mourned and let go — and that quiet grief is making room for what comes after.
Work
A job ends, a project closes, a chapter of work reaches its natural last page. Let the space clear fully before you rush to fill it — the next thing needs room to arrive.
Body
A period of illness, depletion, or deep rest. The body is processing and releasing something — meet it with stillness rather than pressure, and let recovery take the slow route.
Counsel
Let it end. Holding on to what is already over only postpones your next beginning — grieve it honestly, then set it down.
