Clouds and Coffin in Lenormand
Clouds is confusion; Coffin is ending. Read in that order, the pair says: the fog finally lifts.
Reading Clouds + Coffin
With Clouds the fog rolls in, and Coffin does something decisive with it: closing the confusion down. Where doubt has been drifting, this pair brings a definite end, a release into stillness. An unclear situation at work, perhaps a role or project you could never quite read, simply terminates, and the uncertainty dies with it. In love, a tangle of mixed signals finally closes or transforms, freeing you from questions that once circled endlessly. The close brings clarity at last.
How the order works
Clouds comes first and supplies the subject: confusion. Coffin comes second and modifies it: closing down. Together: Confusion closing down.
