The concept, first developed in 1939 by Russian scientist Semyon Kirlian, is that when you place something (like your hand) on a photographic plate that’s connected to voltage, you’ll see that image surrounded by a “mysterious energy,” Wired reported. The photo was taken to an aura reader, who dissected the image, explaining what she saw to me.

Turns out, I was none of those things (shocking, right?). I had no idea what that even meant, but I headed down to the Freehand Hotel, ready to figure out whether I was a summer, or a winter, or a fiery red or a technicolor dream coat. I’m always down to try something new, so when I heard LA’s House of Intuition was offering free aura readings as part of the launch of its New York pop-up store this past holiday season, I said yes.
