Lesson 93 of 100Ethics and readable practice
Avoiding diagnosis

Context and limits
Read the idea with these two checks so it stays clear and responsible.
- Use it in contextGood practice makes the method, uncertainty, and user choice visible in every reading.
- Keep this limitAstrology does not replace medical, legal, financial, or mental-health professionals.
A common misconception
A common mistake is treating avoiding diagnosis 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. Astrology language should not diagnose mental illness, personality disorders, trauma, or medical conditions.
