How do you read the When questions?

I never do a when question without first ascertaining if something will occur. Not everyone will marry, have children, and so on.  Also, cards can split hairs: someone might live with someone and not marry. 
 

Once ascertained I have a couple of timing methods. One uses the card the significator faces: coins are spring (fire), batons summer (earth), cups are autumn (water) and swords are winter (air).
 

The cards (deuce to king) are the first to thirteenth week of a season, e.g. King of Batons is the thirteenth week of summer.
 

Aces are the season in general.

 

For some questions that require longer time frames coins, batons, cups and swords can be days, weeks, months and years, respectively.

 

I don’t tend to use the trumps for timing. I do have some associations for them: the Bateleur is Wednesday or within three months. 
 

For long term forecasts I do prefer palmistry and astrology (traditional).

I am so glad to see you here @Nisaba. Definitely a welcome addition, and your this post was a learning element for me too. I guess i have a deck which i rarely use because it has minimal imagery and i could try this theory there for simple questions and see how it works out!!

And I love your signature quote from the Scorpions, too! A much underrated song.
