Timing Techniques
			People often want to know when an event will occur and I believe that this is not something that cartomancy can reveal accurately like astrology.  However there are a few techniques that others have come up with that can give timing estimates if you would like to include them in your readings.  Here are some of these techniques: Seasons Since there are 52 cards and 52 weeks in a year, each card suit can be broken down into the 13 weeks of each season.  Clubs correspond to spring; Hearts to summer; Diamonds to fall; and Spades to winter. On the Pips and Face Cards pages, I have given the time periods for each card. Zodiac You can assign time periods to each face card according to their zodiac cycles: King of Clubs - Leo Queen of Clubs - Aries Jack of Clubs - Sagittarius King of Hearts - Scorpio Queen of Hearts - Cancer Jack of Hearts - Pisces King of Spades - Aquarius Queen of Spades - Libra Jack of Spades - Gemini King of Diamonds - Capricorn Queen of Diamonds - Taurus Jack of Diamonds - Virgo Aces If you assign each ace to its appropriate season, you can go through the shuffled deck until you come to an Ace.  The Ace that appears reflects the season during which the event will happen.  Twelve months spread Using the Destiny Square spread, you can find out what will happen during each month of the year.  Instead of using the spread for astrological houses, make each card represent a month of the year.  Look for clues in the cards that suggest timing issues.  For example, if the questioner is asking about when he will get a raise and the Ace of Diamonds shows up in the month of July, a raise may be forthcoming at that time. There are many timing techniques out there.  What is important is that you find a system or create one that works for you!
