You can tell timing in horary, although I don’t know how accurate it is. Wands will be the fastest, they’re associated with cardinal fire, and days or quickly, cups weeks and emotions, mixed, pentacles are associated with earth and slowest, months/years. Swords are associated with air and thinking/thoughts and being quick.
The pages are knowns as messages, so if you get a page of pentacles, you will be waiting a long time for the message, the page of wands quickly, but if representing a person and feelings, then pentacles show long term stability. So it’s all about context, like a knight of wands is just after a wham bam thank you ma’am but a king of wands has mastered his passions and will be amazing in bed.
Sounds like good methods U.K.! You and c should do a tarot thread 😊
