How to Make Time Predictions using Tarot

Tarot has always been a method of fortune telling and prediction,

although a modern approach uses the tarot for self-discovery and
analysing problems or situations.

Fortune telling may seem to some people as being “a thing of the

past” as many newcomers to the tarot see it as a way to explore the
mysteries of the inner psyche and soul, yet the tarot can still be used
as a way to predict the future and potential outcomes.

Different methods exist for using the tarot for predictions; each tarot
reader will have a preference and this preference can vary
depending on the question or situation – namely what, how and
when an event may happen.

There are no hard and fast rules for making predictions using tarot,
most of what's interpreted as a prediction depends on intuition and
what cards seem to “grab your attention.”

In this guidebook, we'll look at ways to predict when something may

happen from interpreting a tarot reading.

Let’s begin with the card positions and how to make predictions
based on the positions in a tarot spread.

Making Predictions Based on Card Positions

To start with making time predictions using tarot, you’ll first have to
narrow in on a specific card or cards.

If you’re using a tarot spread, this will often be the card in the
“outcome” card position and/or “near future” card position for
example as commonly found in the Celtic Cross tarot spread.

Although these cards are often the tell-tale cards for making
predictions for the future, sometimes different cards in a tarot spread
can give hints or be used in conjunction with an outcome or “near
future” card position.

Tarot is a fluid art and interpretation, so even having pre-set card

positions shouldn’t have to restrict you to only reading a card in a
designated “future/outcome" position.

Tarot cards can interact and flow, so a key to finding when an

outcome will happen can rely on looking at card interactions and if
any of the other cards “hint at” a predicted outcome when two or
more cards are combined together.

In essence, look to see what card (or cards) “stands out” the most to
you.

You may feel a “pull” towards a certain card if you’re thinking about
a prediction or the future, so take special notice of any cards that
seem to suggest a future outcome – even if you’re not quite sure yet
what the predictive card is trying to tell you.

Tarot Suit Cards and Time Predictions

Now that we know that we can look at the outcome/“near future”

card positions and/or other cards in a tarot spread, let’s look at the
tarot suits.

Tarot suits can hint at the seasons of the year when something may
happen, although there's some variation between tarot readers on
the designation of seasons and the suits.

Here are the tarot suits and the seasons associated with them, there
are different variations of the suits and seasons, so pick which one
feels right to you.

Common interpretations of the suits and seasons are:

Wands – Summer or Spring

Cups – Spring or Summer
Swords – Autumn or Winter
Pentacles – Winter or Autumn

TarotPugs
Depending on your personal associations, you may feel that Wands
are associated with Summer and Cups with Spring or the other way
around.

You can use these associations in your own readings or you can
keep both in mind and trust your intuition to decide which season is
associated with the suit based on the suggestions above.

Tarot Numbers and Time Predictions

The numbers on the tarot cards can also be used for making time
predictions in tarot readings.

When making predictions using tarot and the numbers on the cards,
the numbers can represent the number of:

 Hours
 Days
 Weeks
 Months
 Years

How will you know if a number is meant to predict hours, days,

weeks, months or even years?

©2018 How to Make Tarot Predictions using Astrology

TarotPugs
This requires a combination of intuition and a little rationalizing.
If you’re predicting something, you will have a general sense if hours
or days are too soon or if years are too far away, so then you may
feel that weeks or months may be somewhere in between.

Trust your intuition when it comes to using numbers to predict days,

weeks, etc.

An easy method is to ask yourself each if you feel intuitively that the
outcome is days, weeks, months or years. You may get a feeling or
sensation when you “hit” the right length of time.

Astrology, Tarot and Predictions

Tarot is closely associated with astrology, that not only the major
arcana is associated with planets and astrological signs, but also the
minor arcana is associated with planets in astrological signs.

Another way to use tarot for time predictions is to have a look at

what the astrological association is for a card.

If you feel a certain card is the “key” to your outcome or prediction

when something will happen, you can look to see what planet or
astrological sign the card is associated.

4 of Wands – Venus in Aries
5 of Wands – Saturn in Leo
6 of Wands – Jupiter in Leo

But what about the Aces and the Courts?

The Aces are the purest of their element – fire, water, earth and air –
so using Aces for prediction isn’t very effective.

Court cards are representative of the personification of elements, so

using them for prediction isn’t as effective as other methods.

Pages are the representative of the element:

 Page of Cups = Water

 Page of Wands = Fire
 Page of Swords = Air
 Page of Pentacles = Earth

However, the other court cards – Knight, Queen and King can be
associated with astrological signs:

Knight of Wands - Sagittarius

Knight of Cups - Pisces
Knight of Swords - Gemini
Knight of Pentacles – Virgo

©2018 How to Make Tarot Predictions using Astrology

TarotPugs
Queen of Wands – Aries
Queen of Cups – Cancer
Queen of Swords – Libra
Queen of Pentacles – Capricorn

King of Wands – Leo

King of Cups – Scorpio
King of Swords – Aquarius
King of Pentacles – Virgo

So how does this all work to use astrology and tarot for time
predictions?

You can use the astrological time of year as a way to find out when
something may occur.

For example, if you feel the 2 of Wands is calling to your attention,

you may choose to use the number 2 and predict hours, days,
weeks, months or years or you can use the astrological association
for the 2 of Wands which is Mars in Aries.

By looking online or in an ephemeris, you can check to see when

Mars will be in Aries.

TarotPugs
This can also work with major arcana cards.

Let’s say for example, you feel the Death card is the key to your
outcome, you may then feel that Scorpio season may be when your
prediction will come true or perhaps when a planet will soon be
entering Scorpio (use your intuition to determine which planet or look
to the other cards to find out.)

Astrological seasons can also be associated with the court cards

(Knights, Queens and Kings) when prediction when something may
happen during that particular astrological season.

For example, the King of Swords (Aquarius) may indicate that an

outcome may happen during Aquarius season (January 21 to
February 18.)

Another example with a card that has a planet association: if you

get The Empress, you may feel that the planet Venus may have
something to do with when your prediction will come true.

This could mean either when Venus retrogrades, makes an aspect in

someone’s natal chart or is contacted/conjunct by a planet in their
natal chart or when Venus enters another sign. This method can be
applied to any of the planets.

Intuition, Tarot and Time Predictions

As mentioned earlier, there aren’t any “hard and fast” rules when it
comes to predictions in tarot.

The above suggestions are recommendations that can be used in

your tarot knowledge and can be blended and mixed based on
what you feel is calling to you in a tarot reading.

Trust your intuition to guide your eyes and attention to particular

cards in a tarot reading that can give you hints about the prediction
or outcome of a tarot reading.

When it comes to making time predictions based on astrology, it’s

handy to have a reference in books or online of an ephemeris or
know when certain planets will change signs or go into retrograde.

Above all, don’t be afraid to be wrong.

Have confidence that you will be right sometimes and wrong

sometimes; don’t let any wrong predictions prevent you from making
future predictions.

Keep Track of Your Tarot Predictions

12

©2018 How to Make Tarot Predictions using Astrology

TarotPugs
When making predictions using any form of divination, it’s ideal to
have a notebook or binder to keep track of your tarot predictions for
future reference – especially if making predictions based on
astrology or with specific dates such as hours, days, weeks, months or
even years.

There will also be times that your predictions won’t come true.

The reason that a prediction may not come true (even when using
the different methods mentioned herein) is that there can be a lot of
variables between the time of a tarot reading and when something
will happen.

A tarot reading is just a projection of where things are headed at the

moment of the tarot reading.

Sometimes life throws a curve ball and predictions don’t come true.

That’s OK. Make a note of it in your tarot journal and keep working
at it to practice your tarot prediction skills.
