Code of Ethics and By-Laws


Astrology has diverse uses, among them using the birth chart to analyze personal development, timing procedures and events, projecting economic, political and societal trends, and understanding the meaning of cycles and time as a whole. Astrologers are equally diverse, taking into their astrological practice a variety of additional skills and educational backgrounds. Astrologers recognize the apparent synchronicity between life cycles on the earth and cycles of the cosmos. They identify the mytho-logical associations to celestial bodies and their physical order in outer space, combining astronomical measurement with symbolism in their interpretation.

Astrologers strive to provide a service that enriches and enhances life, and protects human dignity. They can contribute to the ongoing evolutionary process of astrology by providing quality service and continually increasing their own proficiency and mastery of the practice through ongoing studies, research, and the support of other astrologers.

The Ethical Guidelines governing personal, public, and professional conduct in the practice of astrology must lend dignity to the profession, without stifling creativity, individuality and future growth. Astrology does not lend itself to a rigid set of rules outlining all of its functions and procedures. However, a guide of acceptable conduct is paramount to its respectability.


A Professional Astrologer, for the purpose of this code, is one who is able to accurately generate a horoscope and interpret it by verified and generally accepted standards of procedures, and one who adequately performs any of the following functions to generate an income:

  • Using astrological interpretive skills to consult clients.
  • Organizing, researching, or developing verified astrological information and presenting this knowledge in print, in speech, or on the internet.
  • Teaching astrology.




a. All horoscopes must be calculated using standard methods of procedure based on accurate data. It is critical to have a recorded time, date, and place of birth that is as precise as possible. If a rectified time or an alternative method such as a Johndro Locality, Solar Chart or Natural Chart is used, this should be stated and its limitations, if any, described.

b. Astrologers must use reasonably verified and credible astrological knowledge in their interpretation and test their competence through regular practice.

c. The terms of the consultation need to be stated and understood prior to the appointed time. This would include fee, duration, style and what the client has a right to expect.




g. Clients must not be misled in any way, including emotional, sexual or financial exploitation and harassment.



a. All astrological work is expected to be performed with the highest standard of integrity and personal competence.


c. Astrologers should not mislead by making unfounded promises, or exaggerated claims.

d. Any advertisement about the professional practice must be truthful and factual. This means the astrologer must be honest in stating proficiency and scholastic degrees, and must deliver what is advertised.

e. Astrologers are expected to practice only in areas of their competence and qualifications and avoid making unfounded claims or assessments in the name of astrology. This includes but not limited to medical, psychological, financial or legal advice. The astrologer may make suggestions, but openly state that he or she is not a professional in those fields. When a client's needs are beyond the capability of the astrologer, the client must be referred to appropriate agencies or other professional services.

f. When dealing with horoscopes of public figures using commonly published data, observations should be made in a way that is educational, and in such, refrain from gossip and unfounded assumptions.


a. Astrologers are expected to make a conscious effort to continue their professional growth and education. This can be done by taking courses, reading literature, attending conferences and seminars, conducting research, etc.

b. Astrologers must remain tolerant to personal and astrological differences where there is no breach of ethics. If unethical conduct is noted, it should be dealt with in an appropriately professional manner.

c. Astrologers are encouraged to give support to the efforts of other astrologers, so that everyone benefits from our collective knowledge, experience, and insights.

d. Research and any related presentations are to be conducted in a rigorous manner with objective references, always maintaining strict professional integrity. It is appropriate to take credit for scholarly work and ethical to give credit to contributions made by others.

e. Copyright laws must be honored. This does not preclude the use of other astrologer's work providing the law is upheld and/or appropriate credit is given.


a. Astrologers are expected to maintain a personal image of cleanliness, competence, and social respect when representing astrology.
