Oh god, the dreaded "all pips" layout with no peering eyes to interpret
I shall simply post first impressions without even reading your thoughts first. I shall just dive in, see what strikes me, first impressions and all that, then read yours (and others') interpretations and think about other levels of meaning over the next few days.
I think it is important to post before being influenced by the other!
The first think that strikes me, numerologically speaking, is that we have even-ness (4, the ultimate number of control and firmness) flanked by odd-ness either side, 7 & 3.
Oh god, the 3 of Swords again. Good job we're not reading Rider Waite style otherwise I'd be thinking both our lives are an ongoing saga of misery, grief and despair (judging by the spreads we draw)! But no, these are pips...
I have to confess, looking at those three cards I'm a bit flummoxed. I don't quite know what to latch onto...
money + cups + swords in progression? Does that mean something? The images funnel from left to right? 7 then 4 then 3?
This is one of those moments when, if I were doing a proper reading, I bet I'd just panic and come over all RWS...
The single, encased Coin within the curlicue foliage draws my attention... but what might it mean? Oh dear, not doing very well. Nothing else comes to mind. I think this flanking of even-ness and solidity (4) with oddness (7 & 3) is as far as I can go just now...
Trying to be succinct IF it were a reading...
Isolating a single factor to restore the harmony of the central 4? Would that make sense (just throwing stuff out there)? Isolating a single element (that coin) in order to get an accurate, stable sense of things and before a true, rational, incisive analysis (swords) of the situation can be arrived at?

Now to read what you made of it!
