Sun and Coffin in Lenormand
Sun is success; Coffin is ending. Read in that order, the pair says: a bright ending brings release.
Reading Sun + Coffin
Sun's vitality meets Coffin's ending, so the closing of something is lit rather than grim: a release, a needed conclusion, a chapter finished cleanly. In work this reads as a project or role ending on a good note, freeing you for what follows. Coffin also asks for stillness and rest, so the pair often shows a pause that is earned rather than suffered before brightness returns.
How the order works
Sun comes first and supplies the subject: success and vitality. Coffin comes second and modifies it: closing down. Together: Success and vitality closing down.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Coffin + Sun begins with an ending and ends with shining with success — Success rises from a difficult ending
