To Help You Remember:
WandsΒ are days, because they are fire, and fire moves fast.
SwordsΒ are weeks, because while a sword is quick to cut, it first requires some thinking on the warriorβs part.
CupsΒ are months, because they are water, and water flows with the moon, which completes a cycle in roughly a month.
PentaclesΒ 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 theΒ Major ArcanaΒ and theΒ PagesΒ are related to the cardsβ meanings. Once you know the meanings, you know the timings.
TheΒ Kings, QueensΒ andΒ KnightsΒ are the Zodiac signsβ birthdays:
King of Wands β Leo (Fixed Fire)
