I remember doing a reading some time ago with a young woman, in her early twenties, talking about life and job choices, the usual questions. But when she asked about her future she drew these cards –
Devil / Emperor / 8 of swords
I suppose I could have lied and made up some story but the cards made no sense to me in the context we had been talking about, and I said as much to her. I described them in detail – addictive/negative patterns, a dominating, controlling man/situation, a strong sense of being trapped, but if she was willing to see clearly she could find a way out.
And then she told me that she had lied to me, she was not a student, but rather a call girl, and those cards described how she was feeling perfectly. I had not suspected her of lying, I had no cause to, but the cards… they see the truth even when I don’t.
After that truth was revealed, the reading became far more productive.
I was reminded of this when I saw this other piece in the New York times - Chicago University is asking us if we can spot the liar through body language… Can you?
