Bouquet and Coffin in Lenormand

Reading Bouquet + Coffin

Bouquet is the subject, holding pleasure, beauty or appreciation; Coffin closes it down, bringing stillness and an ending. A good thing finishes gently, without drama, more a fading than a rupture. The gift was real and is now complete. In love this is affection cooling into distance; at work, a pleasant project or role wrapping up; in health, a treat or indulgence set aside while energy is low.

How the order works

Bouquet comes first and supplies the subject: a gift and pleasure. Coffin comes second and modifies it: closing down. Together: A gift and pleasure closing down.

Swap them and the sentence changes. Coffin + Bouquet begins with an ending and ends with offered warmly — A graceful ending that brings relief
