To Help You Remember:
Wandsย are days, because they are fire, and fire moves fast.
Swordsย are weeks, because while a sword is quick to cut, it first requires some thinking on the warriorโs part.
Cupsย are months, because they are water, and water flows with the moon, which completes a cycle in roughly a month.
Pentaclesย are seasons to years, because they are seeds, and some seeds only require a season to grow while others need a year.
The timings for theย Major Arcanaย and theย Pagesย are related to the cardsโ meanings. Once you know the meanings, you know the timings.
