I've been waiting for this thread to revive. My participation would probably be infrequent, but I'd be interested in giving it a go.
I don't even know Mels system for reading pips, so I've used something more akin to Enrique's "system", which is more of an impression based on ho the cards look than any numerology or meanings for the suits.
I haven't really had time to put the necessary attention into this cast of three cards, but my initial impression is of a man who has lost his virility- he is ashamed of what he has, and what he has lost.
I get this through very little- his body language in relation to the other cards is like one who is hiding something, and when you follow his eye line, he is looking at a pomegranate on the VIII, which is a traditional fertility symbol. Also, the "brackets" on the VI seem to be pointing towards the middle, which on a human form could be the groin area....
I'll try to come back to this with more details later. I typically don't use set meanings for the cards- even the pips, but this is what I'm getting on a first impression.

I know Mel's system!
Very interesting! So if we combined that with what I interpreted
