Tarot Reading Ethics

Reading for other people is a privilege. A few principles keep it kind, honest, and genuinely helpful.

Core principles

• Consent. Only read for someone who has asked. Don't read about a third party who hasn't agreed (an ex, a colleague, a crush).
• Privacy. What comes up in a reading stays private.
• Empower, don't frighten. Offer perspective and choices, never doom or dependency.
• Stay in your lane. You're not a doctor, lawyer, therapist, or financial adviser — refer people to real professionals for those questions.

Questions to avoid answering

• Health / diagnosis — never predict illness or death.
• Pregnancy — don't confirm or predict it.
• "When exactly will…" — tarot isn't a clock; avoid false precision.
• Anything about a non-consenting third party's private life.

Reading for minors

Take extra care — keep it light and positive, and defer to a parent or guardian. When in doubt, don't.
