Card 29 of 36 · A♠ · present
Woman
A female significator; the counterpart to Man and the other anchor of the tableau.
Woman in pairs
This is where the meaning is. Woman leading means the reading is about the querent or a woman; Woman following means something else is being coloured by it. Same two cards, different sentence.

In a Grand Tableau, Woman is both a card and house 29. Whatever falls into that house is read through the querent or a woman — so if Fish lands in house 29, money is being read in the context of the querent or a woman.
If Woman lands in house 29 — its own house — that is usually called significant. It is worth knowing the arithmetic first: across a shuffled 36-card tableau the expected number of self-housed cards is exactly one, so this happens constantly. See the combinatorics on the main page.
Proximity is the other convention. Any two cards land adjacent 16.98% of the time by geometry alone — about one pairing in six — which is the baseline against which a meaningful-looking neighbour should be read.
