The Prime Directive of Tarot: Protecting Querent Free Will
Professional tarot practitioners never pose as fatalistic judges. Generating anxiety, engineering emotional dependency, or making rigid prophetic claims violates professional ethics.
---
#### Core Standards of Tarot Ethics & Practice
#### 1. Absolute Querent Sovereignty
- Tarot maps probable trends based on present momentum, never immutable fate.
- Readings must empower seekers to exercise conscious discernment and personal agency.
#### 2. Strict Boundary Safeguards
- Healthcare & Mental Health: Never diagnose psychiatric conditions or prescribe treatment. Immediately refer acute crisis seekers to licensed emergency medical services.
- Legal Affairs: Defer legal proceedings to licensed attorneys.
- Financial Speculation: Refrain from giving specific investment or securities trading advice.
#### 3. Zero Fear-Mongering & Commercial Manipulation
- Demystify challenging archetypes (Death, The Tower, The Devil) into constructive growth catalysts. Never manipulate fear for commercial profit.
