Cocktails and predictions:
"Tarot cards add zing to the corporate
party!"
Sunday, July 28, 2002
By MARIEE PILKINGTON, Columbia News Service
NEW
YORK At this year's corporate party, Angelica Taranto, a secretary
at Cravath, Swaine and Moore, made sure she got to the Rainbow Room
early to beat the line. She knew from last year's get-together at
the swank penthouse restaurant in midtown Manhattan that there would
be a crowd all for the tarot card reader.
No
longer the province of boardwalks and carnival booths, tarot card
readers are popping up in the most unlikely places, among the gray
suits and wine spritzers of the corporate party. To enliven the cocktails
and hors d'ouevres atmosphere, corporate party planners have made
tarot card readers a staple feature of the fun and games at these
annual events.
"Maybe
people wanted to know what to do with their fortunes," says Sasha
Nanus, owner of a party planning company called Manhattan Performing
Arts Co. While the caterers bring the food and drink, Nanus brings
the goodies that make the party buzz: face painters, mimes, caricaturists,
celebrity look-a-likes, string quartets or a circus depending on the
occasion. Tarot card reading, she says, is a "constant and expected
at parties."
Back
in 1993 when the party scene started humming after the lean years
at the end of the 1980s, Nanus first added four tarot card readers
to her offerings. Today she employs 12. A typical lineup at a big
corporate bash will consist of four readers, two caricaturists and
then maybe celebrity look-a-likes or photographers taking digital
pictures, she says. Her clients are a who's who of Manhattan's top
companies, including the investment bank Goldman Sachs, the advertising
firm Ogilvy & Mather and BlueCross BlueShield insurance.
Nanus
finds her readers through word of mouth and, for the most part, they
contact her. The readings last about 10 minutes, so the readers must
be quick as well as knowledgeable. "To come and connect with a person
in a short time," Nanus says, "that's a skill."
Tarot
evolved from a group of 22 playing cards called tarocchi used in 16th
century Italy that were added to an extant deck of 56. In the late
18th century, the French started using the cards for fortune telling.
In today's tarot decks, the 22 cards are the trump cards with such
fantastical illustrations of characters dubbed the Fool, the Devil,
the Sun, the Lover and Death and the 56 cards, consisting of kings,
queens, knights and knaves.
A reader
will use a person's birth date to signal many of the predictions,
adding the numbers from the month, day and year in a complex formula,
the results of which correspond with particular cards in the deck.
If the numerological deductions or the final number correspond to
the Emperor and Death cards, for example, they represent organization
and movement in the client's character and life.
Outside
the party scene, a reading can last as long as two hours. Then the
birth date is just a starting point. Following that, a reader will
lay out four aces in an elemental array and the customer will put
them in an order of visual preference and space them accordingly.
Those choices, too, indicate something about the customer.
A reading
should be surprising, interesting and logical as well as useful and
entertaining and finally it should be true, says Wald Amberstone,
a certified tarot grandmaster, who founded The Tarot School in New
York with his partner, Ruth Ann Brauser. The key to any good reading,
he says, is the type of question posed a question to which the answer
will not be a yes or a no. Less of the "will I be rich?" variety and
more "how should I proceed with my career?"
Some
readers will make observations without asking questions and still
make the predictions.
"He
hit the nail on the head," says Michelle Kaufman, a secretary at Cravath.
"He told me I had a controlling and domineering mother, and that's
the truth."
The
draw is easy to understand, says Joe Nickell, senior research fellow
at the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the
Paranormal, in Buffalo, N.Y. In the end, we are all interested in
ourselves, he says.
But
for most partygoers, a quick 10-minute session is just about perfect.
"It's fun and free," Taranto says. "I wouldn't want to spend a lot
of money on it."
Taranto
asked her reader at this year's party if there would be children in
her future. She was told she would be pregnant within the year. She's
still waiting.
"You
hope they tell you things you want to hear," Taranto says.
