Code of Ethics

1. Confidentiality:

I will not reveal what a client tells me without his/her written approval. I will withhold all written and verbal communication with a client in confidence, except in the event of a life-threatening situation.

2. Honesty:

I will interpret a reading to the best of my ability and will honestly admit when I cannot interpret something. I will always tell the truth, but not impose information on a client that they have clearly indicated that they do not wish to know or explore further in depth.

3. Non-judgmental:

I will always provide readings with compassion and in a non-judgmental manner.

4. Expertise:

I will not give advice in areas for which I am not qualified. If the client needs a physician, psychologist, lawyer, financial advisor, accountant, or any other professional service for which I am not qualified, I will encourage him or her to seek such service from a professional in that area, and I will make appropriate referrals wherever possible.

5. Responsibility:

My goal as a Tarot reader is to allow my clients to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions, which guide their lives, and to act according to their own conscience for the greater good of all concerned.

6. Empowerment:

I will let my clients know that the future is never set in stone and thus that they have the power to change their future! I will strive to help my clients leave a reading feeling empowered to make practical, life-affirming decisions.

7. Healing:

I will allow myself to be a conduit through which Divine Spirit heals my clients’ spirit, mind, body, and environment based upon insights gained from a reading.

8. Uplifting:

I will strive to make each reading a blessing for everyone involved. I will be encouraging and try to leave my clients with a sense of renewed strength and hope. Thus, I will try to make each reading, no matter how bad it might initially appear, end on a positive, encouraging note.

9. Independence:

I will not let my clients become overly dependent upon my services, nor pressure them for return visits.

10. Professional conduct:

• Since the future is always mutable, I will never scare a client by predicting the inevitability of a physical death.

• I reserve the right to refuse to read for any client, but I will return any compensation for such a reading.

• I will not do a reading for anyone under 18 years old without the permission of a parent or guardian.

• I will at all times maintain an ethical and professional relationship with my clients.

• I will not abuse a client’s trust and vulnerability for my own personal benefit.

• I will endeavour to study those things that will advance my own professional development and aid me in giving better readings.

• I will not refer clients to another professional reader in anticipation of acquiring kickbacks or other compensation.

• I will treat my professional colleagues with respect.

I reserve the right to refuse to do a reading for a question that I feel I cannot answer, or one that goes against my code of ethics.
