Something I've been wondering was if there's any significance to lower numbered minor arcana within a higher numbered one.
As an example, the 7, 5, and 2 of swords.
In the 7 of swords, the "thief" is making off with five swords. In the 5, the "victor" holds three. The 7 and 5 of swords both show somebody holding some swords and leaving others on the ground. In both of those cards, two swords are left behind.
So would it be useful at all to look at those other minor arcana cards when interpreting the 7 and 5 of swords?
For instance, if the querent is represented as the "victim", perhaps they're left at the position of the 2 of swords? Blind and holding two different choices or ideas.
In the 7, the "thief" could represent either the "victor" or the "losers" shown in the 5. Maybe while he makes off with the swords, he'll lose his ill-gotten gains.
In the 5, the "victor" holding three swords could represent a person or idea that "kills" something.
