Coffin and Bouquet in Lenormand

Reading Coffin + Bouquet

Coffin is the ending or release, and Bouquet softens it with pleasure, appreciation and a welcome gift. The close can feel graceful rather than harsh, bringing relief after something has run its course. In love, a parting may be handled with warmth; at work, a project ends with thanks or a parting bonus; in health, a difficult phase lifts and small comforts return. Bouquet suggests the ending is offered kindly.

How the order works

Coffin comes first and supplies the subject: an ending. Bouquet comes second and modifies it: offered warmly. Together: An ending offered warmly.

Swap them and the sentence changes. Bouquet + Coffin begins with a gift and pleasure and ends with closing down — Pleasure that quietly comes to an end
