Apart from the calendar spread methods of laying out the cards,there are also ways of timing an event using the cards of the Minor Arcana,this is true when specific questions have been asked.
First count backwards from the last card you laid down.Ignore all Major Arcana and Court cards,then take note of the suit and the number of the first minor numbered card that you come to.
In this system each suit corresponds to a different measurement of time;
Cups = Days (but cannot be counted unless next to a Pentacle card)
Wands=Weeks
Swords=Months
Pentacles=Years
So if the last card placed in a reading was the 6 of Wands,the event spoken of in the interpretation would occur in 6 Weeks.
Individual cards often have a time period associated with them.
The Moon often refers to one Lunar cycle of twenty eight days.
The Sun could refer to Summer.
The Empress to Spring and the Star to Xmas,as well as the Astrological signs associated with various Major Arcana cards.
The Minor Arcana suits ,too,often refer to Seasons.
Wands are associated with Springtime,Cups with Summer,Pentacles with Autumn and Swords with the sharp cold of winter.
