Arg! I forgot about this. I was distracted by vampyres.
What I decided to do was lay out the original spread and substitute memento mori for the seven of chalices. It certainly made the reading more ominous. Memento mori seemed to take the meaning from fear of death to imminent reality. The skeleton is in the eye of the reader and the reader can see the woman is surrounded by death.
The seven of chalices felt more like it was saying live your dreams before it's too late. Where memento mori felt like it was saying make your peace because your going to die.
