Readings by Nico

My partner and I came here as part of his visit and exploration of Rochester and my first tarot reading. I bought the Groupons online and when we got there I was surprised to learned that Nico’s sessions were 30 minutes long and individual. As I waited 30 minutes, I found myself feeling conflicted because there wasn’t a spot to sit down that didn’t allow me to overhear his tarot reading but instead I had to pace back and forth in the store. Nevertheless, during my own reading, I find myself intellectualizing and unable to focus on the reading perhaps, due to my own strong skepticism of this trade. Moreover, I believe that a lot of what she was reading was based off of a solid understanding of generalizations and intuition of human behaviors and emotions; I felt that this was vindicated through her statement that tarot reading is meant to «validate» what you already feel and believe. As a result, I did not walk away with a new found understanding or great revelation but my partner did like his reading and found it «spot on». Side note, apparently it is custom to tip after the reading, I did not know this.

I can’t express how much I enjoyed getting a reading by Nico. First off, her energy is so warm, light, & compelling that you feel relaxed in her presence. Secondly, she has a wonderfully designed Tarot deck influenced by Osho that have beautiful art on them. Thirdly, I made the strange mishap of picking up too many cards on two of the sections, and instead of making me redraw she said something that I thought was absolutely brilliant, she said something to the effect that she would try to read it as is because it seems that it was meant to be there. To me that just showed how open and unconventional her style is. Rather than try to change it to her liking, she decided to go with the flow and see what the hidden meaning and purpose for it being there was. I really thought that was great. Her reading was honest, yet positive and she has a wonderful soul.
