Live and Let Die: Was Solitaire REALLY psychic, or just a really good guesser?

Okay, so I just re-watched *Live and Let Die* and, like, I have SO MANY FEELINGS. The whole vibe is just so different from other Bond movies, right? It's got that blaxploitation thing going on, which is... well, it's a *choice*. But Solitaire, man. She's giving me some serious feels. I kept thinking, is she *actually* psychic? Or is she just really good at reading people and situations? Because, think about it. Mr. Big (or Dr. Kananga, whatever you wanna call him) obviously tells her things. He probably relies on her for info, so she's got inside knowledge, right? And maybe she sees how powerful he is and just figures things out. When she pulls the Death card for Bond, I was legit scared for him, but then I wondered if she’d just heard some intel about Bond being dangerous to Mr. Big's plans. I mean, she was nervous AFTERWARDS when Bond just stares at her. I think she was scared that she blew her cover and that he now knew she was a fraud. And then there’s the whole tarot thing. I'm not into tarot at all, mostly because I think it’s a load of hooey but I feel a little a bit dumb because she knew things! But think about it - like, maybe she just knows how people think and how they're going to react in certain situations, especially Bond. I was just really confused about it all - maybe I’m overthinking it, I dunno. Anyway, I’m off to watch *The Man with the Golden Gun*. I'm expecting some serious Scaramanga feels. Hit me up if you guys have thoughts on Solitaire. Was she the real deal, or was she just playing the system? I need ANSWERS!
