Chris Geere, the star of FXX’s “You’re the Worst” sat in a chair and pressed each of his hands into a blue metal brick as a camera whirred. The camera would capture his aura — at least that’s what the poster in the window of Magic Jewelry, a tiny crystal-studded shop just off Canal Street in Manhattan’s Chinatown, claimed.

On “You’re the Worst,” which just aired its finale (so yes, spoilers follow), Geere played Jimmy Shive-Overly, a pompous English novelist with bone-deep daddy issues. Over five seasons he lied, cheated, abandoned his girlfriend (Aya Cash’s Gretchen) just after proposing and months later sent her a text that read “Hey …” — Jimmy’s aura ought to look like a waste dump with seepage issues.

But that’s why they call it acting. Geere’s picture, taken a week before the finale aired, showed a buttercup sunburst cradling a fuchsia heart. Charlene Chen, the Magic Jewelry worker who interpreted it for him, called it, “Bright, big, strong and sunny. Happy looking.”

“We’ll take that,” Geere, whose skin looks like it has never seen a U.V. ray, said brightly.

Though Geere, 38, is based in Manchester, where his wife and young son live, “You’re the Worst” shoots in Los Angeles and he has fallen hard for California mysticism. Though this was his first aura photo, he has seen a couple of psychics and recently had his tarot cards read. (“I got the Death card and I was like, ‘Oh [expletive] great,’ and she went, ‘No! This means the end of something.’”) He also saw a palm reader who told him he should cry more. “I’m just a big believer in positive change and getting reminded that you’re still alive,” he said.
