Not that I know of.. Except as a general theme of not being qualified to answer it in any meaningful way...
If you would trust the fall of the cards and then allow yourself to interpret them... Why would it be OK to give advice on such a life changing event? How do you measure the success?

Regarding any request to predict the future, related to marriage or otherwise, I like what David Theil has said (and I'm paraphrasing here) "I don't predict the future because I don't believe it is written yet."
This is only one example, but it is the thinking like this, and the specific response that comes from the thinking, that can be one piece of more complete "standard" for giving ethical readings. Personally, I don't think a standard for giving ethical readings needs to be set or governed by an organization. A competent and knowledgeable individual, or group of contributors, could scope out a nice standard. Certainly IAIN and Bill Cushman have laid the initial ground work for that in Devil May Care. |

My thinking has changed quite a bit in recent years on the impact readings can have on people. Even very recently. Largely due to what I've read here. Our words impact people. I am now (and increasingly so) much more careful and guarded about what I say and the words I choose. The principles are important, and so are the specific words we say.

I also think it's just more about being human and honest... Person to person, choosing to be an honest and open human being...
Unfortunately, because of how humans work, if you truly believe that your oracle can do such things and that you possess something mystical or similar, and a true believer comes to you, then unfortunately, reality jumps out the window and each person involved will feed off of each other. Other than that, wish them well, tell them you are unable to read for them and suggest a marriage guidance counselor...

Yes, agreed. Personally I don't believe oracles have any power. Other than what we assign to it. I see oracles as symbols and metaphor only.

I would make it all about the peeked information. Tell them that I am not psychic and I don't believe in such. But I do believe that if we can use our imaginations to get our thoughts in sync, then something beautiful will happen in the end. Then ask the person, "Would you mind helping me?" Of course, they'll say yes. That is when you go into the readings because you are trying to understand how they think. You are not being psychic. Merely trying to understand how they view life and get to know then, and then you knock them out in the end with a mind reading trick. I think that remedies that.

The same kind of admonishment against cold reading can be given against the giving of any sort of advice under most circumstances.

Gaddy, "the world does not want to be fooled". The expression is meant as cover for those conmen and charlatans, to help them sleep at night.
Philemon, and I think to use morality as a justifications for bilking people out of their money, is no morality at all.
