Lenormand Timing Cards

You can use Lenormand cards to determine timing.

The simplest way to use Lenormand for timing is to gear the question for your spread towards timing. For example, “When will I move to a new house?”

I find timing actually works best with smaller Lenormand spreads, particularly 5 card Lenormand spreads.

I have a friend who uses only 1 card spreads for timing. However, I find this to be imprecise as not all cards are timing cards, and some cards have unrelated timing meanings, such as the Clover which can represent 2 days/weeks/months or the month of February.

I personally don't think one card is sufficient to correctly determine which meaning applies for timing. Thus, my use of 5 card Lenormand spreads for timing.

I've developed a method for using a Lenormand 5 card spread for timing that is almost always accurate. It uses Lenormand timing cards with a twist. You can find my method here: Guide to Lenormand Timing Spreads.

For now, here are the timing meanings for each Lenormand card.
