Astrology, like any field that involves personal guidance and self-reflection, requires a strong ethical foundation to ensure its practice remains constructive, respectful, and empowering. Ethical considerations in astrology not only uphold the credibility of the astrologer but also protect the dignity and autonomy of the client. This article explores the crucial aspects of ethics that every responsible astrologer should observe. First and foremost, informed consent is fundamental. Astrology should never be presented as a form of absolute prediction or deterministic science. Astrologers must clearly communicate that astrology is a tool for self-reflection and guidance, not a way to foresee the future with certainty. Transparency is key, as clients should fully understand what astrology can and cannot provide. Furthermore, participation in an astrological session should always be voluntary. Any form of coercion, pressure, or undue influence compromises the integrity of the practice.
Confidentiality is another pillar of ethical astrology. Personal information shared during a reading, such as birth details or personal circumstances, should be treated with the utmost respect and privacy. This confidentiality builds trust and ensures a safe space for individuals to explore their personal concerns without fear of exposure. Astrologers must maintain professional boundaries and avoid sharing client information with others unless explicit permission has been granted.
