Yes we can do timings with the Magician, it's probably not the most specific, but it can give a general idea.
I sometimes only use the major arcana in a reading because it has more clout than the miner arcana (suits). Particuarly if I just want a simple clear reading.
The Magician is a simple card when it comes to timings because it hasnt a time as such...it represents now, or certainly within days.
The Magician represents a result, an achievement, something that is happening right now.
To narrow it down specifically, you could match with another major arcana or minor.
The Magician is number one in the deck, he is the 'first' and arrives before the others, if you remember that it may help to understand the timing.
The Magician differs from the Fool, who may appear to lead the deck, in the sense that the Magician has an identity with a number. The Fool has no identity and is merely a wild card, a floater in the deck.
I would be interested to here other ways of timing with the Magician as alot of people do not use the Major Arcana for timings.
Have a great day

Depending on the reading(of course) I would probably use The Magician as more of a trigger than a straight up timer.
Like if somebody asks "When will I find a relationship?" or whatever... If the card was the Magician, it would say "When you let people see what you do" or "when you get in front of people with confidence"
The confidence and performance aspect of the Magician would become the trigger, and it would happen as soon as they became the Magician.
For straight up timing though, it would definitely mean soon... no longer than a month.

Yes, I agree with the 'trigger' bit. It sort of sets the scene I feel. Good comments there. Do you ever use the major arcana on thier own in a reading ?

I never have used the major arcana by itself.

I find it really interesting to see how other people read. Everyone is different but can produce the same readings

It can be quite full-on to do so! Many people only sticj to the Major Arcanas in the early stages of training; if you want to look deep, esoterically, you could do a Majors-only reading, or perhaps work with teh wonderful Quareia deck? (not tarot)
