"Time to shine" means the opportunity to show how good you are at something. In the same way a star shines and people notice it, a person can "shine" by doing something and other people will take notice of and admire their ability. A similar phrase is "a moment of glory." Ex: This singing competition is my time to shine. Ex: Alright, Taylor, it's your time to shine! You're in the game in the next half.
