Astro-tarot timing

For the court cards - most of the readers I know wouldn't use court cards as timing indicators and would instead link the page/knight with their appropriate sex and age group (usually younger). The Kings and Queens would be used similarly but for mature persons. 

Aleister Crowley gave a more complex method: for example,

Page/Princess of pentacles - earth of earth
Prince of pentacles: 21° Aries - 20° Taurus
Queen of pentacles: 21° Sagittarius - 20° Capricorn
King of pentacles: from 21° Leo - 20° Virgo

Some of the correspondences I have difficulty understanding, such as the ten of swords being linked to the Sun in Gemini. That being said, when I used to do a high volume of readings, I did notice the astro indicators that were showing in the cards would often be useful when looking for timing.
