Lately I’ve been doing some research on the timing associations of the cards, and have found some pretty interesting methods that I thought I’d share!
Here are a few different systems I’ve found of simple Minor Arcana suit associations that you might want to try:
General
⏳ Wands: Day(s)
⏳ Swords: Week(s)
⏳ Cups: Month(s)
⏳ Pentacles: Year(s)Season
🌻 Wands: Summer
🍁 Swords: Autumn
🌷 Cups: Spring
⛄ Pentacles: WinterLunar Phase
🌑 Wands: New Moon
🌗 Swords: Waxing Moon
🌓 Cups: Waning Moon
🌕 Pentacles: Full MoonWhile it’s definitely possible to have a timing system for the Major Arcana as well, it’s certainly more complicated. Generally, I prefer to read the timing as “this will happen once the issue represented in this card is resolved.” However, I did find a neat, simple system that associates the days of the week with several Major Arcana cards:
Days of the Week
🌟 Sunday (Sun): The Sun
🌟 Monday (Moon): The High Priestess (fyi: The actual Moon card is associated with Pisces – go figure!)
🌟 Tuesday (Mars): The Tower
🌟 Wednesday (Mercury): The Magician
🌟 Thursday (Jupiter): The Wheel of Fortune
🌟 Friday (Venus): The Empress
🌟 Saturday (Saturn): The WorldAs with everything related to tarot and divination, remember that tarot merely predicts a possible future – not an unchangeable one. Always take timing associations with a grain of salt, and remember that you have power and control of your future!
