The woman nearby supports through action, brings order to shared finances and helps you get on your feet. For single people the pair hints that through the patch of chores an independent, level-headed woman of a businesslike sort appears.

In money this is the Queen of Diamonds' home ground: the pair speaks of expenses on settling troubles, yet promises that sensible handling of money holds the budget. In a hard period it is especially worth checking the figures and not trusting loud promises of easy gain.
Reverse Order
If the cards fall the other way and the Queen of Diamonds comes first, the business-minded woman and the theme of money lead, and the Ten of Spades merely colors her calculations with a heavy, troublesome tone. The accent then shifts from a hard patch to a specific person and an obstacle in financial affairs. This turn is covered in detail on a separate page, Queen of Diamonds and Ten of Spades, where the practical woman's figure speaks first and the hard patch becomes the backdrop of her money cares.
The Cards' Advice
Do not pass a hard patch blindly when a practical, calculating person stands nearby. Lean on the business-minded woman or on your own clear-headed approach: count your resources, keep your affairs in order and carry matters through to a result. Practicality now serves you better than hope for luck or outside help. Check the paperwork, do not make large purchases in a hurry and keep a reserve for the unexpected.
