The second card that I pulled today.
A grey cat sits in an ornate pale-red bedroom, a heavily curtained bed in the background--obviously a room of great wealth. She is dressed simply in a white top and blue skirt, but the material looks fine, and the shirt has gorgeous black and gold brocade on the front. She is seated and is holding a golden statue of a cherub, who is in turn holding a red heart with three small swords through it in the classic manner.
I really like this card. For one, it says that wealth will not assure you joy. The cat's expression is sad but resigned--she seems to be holding the cherub not only as a remembrance for herself, but as a warning to others. "Don't do what I did, don't make my mistakes, beware." But what DID she do, what can we avoid? That is a mystery.
I see this card having all the regular connotations of the Three of Swords, especially that of a broken heart, but also with the addition that a privileged life does not mean a happy one, so be careful what you wish for.
