At Kāla Petal, tarot reading is approached as a sacred practice, a conduit for spiritual guidance, and a tool for reflection and self-discovery. To maintain a safe, respectful, and ethically sound environment for every client, the following Ethics and Boundaries Policy is observed:

1. Nature of the Readings

• Tarot readings are intended for guidance, reflection, and empowerment, not as definitive predictions or substitutes for professional advice in medical, legal, financial, or mental health matters.

• Readings will never address the health, pregnancy, or personal situations of others who are not present. Questions relating to third parties (partners, family members, colleagues, etc.) will be re-phrased or declined.

• Clients are encouraged to use their own discernment and intuition alongside the reading.

2. Confidentiality

• All readings and personal information shared during sessions are strictly confidential.

• Readings are conducted in confidence between the client, the reader – Kāla Petal.

• Information will not be shared with third parties without explicit permission, except where legally required.

3. Boundaries Between Client and Reader

• Kāla Petal readings are professional spiritual services.

• The reader does not engage in romantic, sexual, or exploitative relationships with clients.

• Emotional support is offered within the scope of tarot guidance, not as therapy or counseling.

4. Consent and Age Restrictions

• Clients are informed about the nature and purpose of the reading before it begins.

• Participation is voluntary, and clients may pause or stop the reading at any time.

• Readings will not knowingly be given to clients under 18 years of age without permission from a parent or guardian.

5. Respect for Personal Sovereignty

• Readings aim to empower the client’s personal sovereignty and self-knowledge.

• Advice will focus on options, insights, and reflection, never coercion or pressure.

6. Limitations and Responsibility

• Tarot reflects possibilities, energy patterns, and guidance—not guaranteed outcomes.

• The client retains full responsibility for decisions made after the reading.

• Kāla Petal is not liable for actions taken based on the reading.

7. Professional Integrity

• Readings are conducted with honesty, respect, and spiritual integrity.

• Misrepresentation of abilities, coercion, or fear-based tactics is never employed.

• The reader maintains personal ethics and spiritual discipline to provide clear and grounded guidance.

• If at any time a reader feels unable to complete a reading, they will withdraw tactfully.

8. Safety and Well-being

• Readings will not involve any form of ritual or guidance that may cause physical, emotional, or spiritual harm.

• The reader will not provide readings on illness, medical conditions, or pregnancy, either for the client or on behalf of another person.

• Any client expressing distress or crisis may be gently referred to qualified professional support.

9. Feedback and Communication

• Clients are encouraged to provide feedback, ask questions, and share their experiences.

• Open and honest communication is welcomed to ensure mutual respect and clarity.

By booking or participating in a reading, clients acknowledge that they have read and understood this Ethics and Boundaries Policy and agree to honour it
