Ethics and limits
The most necessary lesson in this course.
Tarot is a thinking tool. It is not a professional, it cannot diagnose, it cannot give legal advice, and it cannot decide for anyone. Knowing these limits is part of being a reader.
Where to stop
- HEALTH — never. "Is this pain serious?" is answered by a doctor. Cards do not go there.
- LEGAL and MONEY — never. Court cases, investments, debt: those need a professional, not a symbol.
- THIRD PARTIES — you do not read the interior of someone who is not there. You can read YOUR relationship with them.
- DEATH and DATES — cards do not give dates. Anyone giving one is making it up.
The law differs by country: in some places reading for others for money is restricted or an offence, and doing it for free does not always change that. This app presents its content as entertainment and self-reflection, not as a service. Look into the legal position where you live before reading for others for money.
A practical rule
A practical rule: if you sense someone is hanging a life decision on your reading, the sentence to stop and say is — "this decision is yours; I am only offering one angle".
Which subject should not be read on?
Health needs a professional. Cards do not go there, and should not.
