Coffin and Tower Combination in Lenormand

The Coffin names the topic, something has run its course, lost its strength, or is shutting, while the Tower specifies that it concerns something solid and formal: work in a large organization, a post, a status, or a long period of solitude. Together the cards say that an established position that seemed unshakeable is nonetheless ending. This can be leaving a long-held job, finishing a matter with an institution, retirement, or the end of a long isolation, when a person finally steps out from behind a high wall toward people. The combination sounds serious but is not always heavy in essence: sometimes the ending brings relief and lifts a burden of obligation. The neighboring cards hint at exactly what is closing and whether light waits beyond it.

In relationships the Coffin and the Tower speak of the close of a bond that held more distance than warmth. This may be the end of a union sustained by routine, status, or habit rather than by close feeling, after which both finally admit the coldness that long stood between them.

Close accounts without haste, and beyond the end of the official stage a place will open for a warmer and more honest life.
