Coffin in a reading

Coffin is ending: release, stillness and transformation. Its tone is negative, and its timing is a decisive close. When the question asks for a plain yes or no, this card counts as no.

Love

A relationship closes or transforms.

Work

A role or project ends.

Money

A loss or a closed account.

Health

A low point or a need for rest. This is not medical advice.

Shadow

Refusal to let go, prolonged grief.

By age

child	A small ending.
young	A chapter closes.
adult	An ending that transforms.
mature	Loss and renewal.
elder	Release and closure.

As a house

Coffin is also the 8th house: endings and release. Its question is What is ending, and what must be released?. Wherever it falls in the tableau, that area of life is being described.
