The meaning
What the Coffin card means
The Coffin is an ending — not death, but the point after which something does not continue. It also stands for illness, exhaustion and grief, and for the empty space that comes before a new start. Hard to like, but often necessary: what it closes usually needed closing.
Coffin in work and money
A job ending, a project canceled, a business closing. Clears space, at a cost.
Coffin as a person
Someone who is ill, grieving or worn out — or simply withdrawn.
Coffin as advice
Let it end. Holding on to what is finished only delays what comes next.
Is the Coffin a yes or no card?
No. The Coffin closes the matter — whatever you are asking about is ending rather than beginning.

The Coffin in a Grand Tableau
House 8 is row 1, column 8 — an edge, so it touches 5 cards: Snake, Bouquet, Stars, Stork and Dog.
The house of the Coffin marks endings and transformation. A card that falls here is closing down, being cleared out or changing completely: the Fox is a job coming to an end, the Ring a contract or relationship that finishes, and the Mice losses that finally stop.
