This topic came up on the professional tarot forum but I didn't want to get the discussion off track so thought I'd post it here.
I'm a professional reader both for my own site and for a psychic site. I have always refused to answer questions about other people who have not given their permission as I feel it is unethical. You know the kind of thing "Can you tell me if my sister's boyfriend is having an affair?" You are 'spying ' on someone without their permission. The site owner is fine with this and always checks with me now beforehand and recontacts clients asking them to rephrase questions!
Early on I didn't know this and did a quick reading for a lady (who was herself a psychic) without her giving permission. I just asked 'Tell me what's going on in X's life at the moment" Afterwards I told her what I had done and the card I pulled for her (which turned out to be totally accurate) but she gave me a resounding telling off and I have never done it since.
What are your thoughts?
