Context and limits

A common mistake is treating inclusive relationship language as permission to make private, clinical, or high-stakes claims about a person.
A clearer way to read it: Readable astrology should show uncertainty, protect choice, and stay out of diagnosis and professional decision-making. Keep this lesson rule visible. Do not assume gender, sexuality, marriage, family structure, or relationship goals from a chart.
