Code of Ethics

1. Core Principles

• Respect. I treat every client with dignity, kindness, and curiosity. 

• Integrity. I give honest, good-faith interpretations without exaggeration or false promise. 

• Client Autonomy. You are the decision maker. Readings support reflection. You choose your action. 

• Do No Harm. I avoid fear-based messaging and refuse services that feel exploitative or unsafe. 

• Confidentiality. Private sessions remain private except where disclosure is legally required or necessary to prevent serious harm. 

• Inclusivity. All Genders, orientations, cultures, faiths, and backgrounds are welcome. No discrimination. 

​

2. Scope of Service

• Astrology. I interpret charts symbolically to explore themes, timing, and potentials. Astrology is not deterministic. 

• Tarot. I read cards for insight and perspective, not fixed predictions. 

• What I Do Not Provide. I do not offer medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. I do not diagnose, prescribe, or guarantee outcomes. When appropriate, I will suggest you consult a licensed professional. 

​

3. Informed Consent ****

Before we begin, I will make sure you understand:

• What the session covers, how long it runs, and the fee.

• What information I need, like birth data for astrology. 

• That insights are interpretive and may not be exact or predictive. 

• Your right to paude, skip topics, or end the session at any time. 

Booking a session means you consent to this framework.

 

4. Accuracy, Honesty, and Limits

• No Absolute Claims. I avoid language that implies certainty about the future or other people's private choices. 

• Plain Language. I aim for clarity over jargon. If something is speculative, I say so. 

• Data Limits. If your birth time is unknown, I'll explain how that affects precision and adjust methods accordingly. 

• When I Don't Know. I will say, "I'm not sure" rather than stretch an interpretation. 

​

5. Client Well Being and Safety

• Mental Health and Crisis. If you disclose intent to harm yourself or others, I may need to contact appropriate support. I am not an emergency service. 

• Sensitive Topics. We move at your pace. You can decline any question. 

​

6. Confidentiality and Data

• Session Privacy. Notes and recordings, when made, are stored securely. 

• Your Control. You can request deletion of session notes and recordings I control unless retention is required by law. 

• Public Content. Questions submitted to the public "Ask Me" blog are edited for privacy and tone. Do not include details you wouldn't want posted. 

​

7. Fees, Scheduling, and Cancellations

• Transparent Pricing. Fees, packages, and session lengths are stated in advance.

• Rescheduling. I'll do my best to accommodate changes with reasonable notice. 

• No Outcome-based Refunds. Payment is for my time and professional effort, not a guaranteed result. If I must cancel, you may choose a reschedule or a refund of the unused session fee. 

​

8. Conflicts of Interest and Boundaries

• No Exploitation. I do not use client information for personal gain. 

• Gifts and Favours. If accepting a gift could influence my neutrality, I will decline. 

• Dual Roles. I avoid overlapping relationships that could blur boundaries or create pressure.

​

9. Cultural and Spiritual Respect

• Credit and Care. I acknowledge diverse lineages in astrology and tarot and avoid appropriation or misrepresentation. 

• Your Beliefs. I adapt language to respect your worldview. You never need to adopt mine. 

​

10. Professional Development 

• Continued Learning. I maintain and grow my skills through study and practice. 

• Ethical Review. I periodically review this Code and update it as standards evolve. 

 

11. Entertainment and Legal Notice

• Entertainment and Informational Purposes. Services and content are for reflection and personal growth. 

• No Liability for Outcomes. You are responsible for your choices and actions. See the site's Terms and Conditions for complete disclaimers and limitations of my ability. 

 

12. Concerns, Complaints, and Feedback

• Talk to Me. If something feels off, tell me directly so I can address it. 

• Resolution Process. I aim to respond within a reasonable time, propose a path forward, and if needed, refer or refund the unused portion of a session at my discretion. 

• Documentation. I keep a brief record of complaints and resolutions to improve practice. 

​

13. Acceptance

• Submitting a question, booking, or continuing with services means you have read and accept this Code of Ethics. If you have questions, please ask before we begin. Clarity first, always.
