Public·1006 Astrologers

Astrology is not only about reading the sky; it is also about constructing an inclusive, ethical, and responsible discourse.

Following the statements by Steven Forrest in a recent podcast, published statement and its firm stance on professional ethical standards are extremely valuable. The future of our field will be shaped by institutions and practitioners who stand against discrimination, take accountability, and uphold ethical principles.

Thanks to the ISAR Board and Dr. Jenn Zahrt for this clear stance.

Yes, it would really be good to set this straight, because astrologers inherently possess an attitude of superiority—an attitude that creates ethical room for such behavior. That is precisely why I developed a method that makes ethical abuse impossible. However, this requires changes that many astrologers dislike. To this day, there is no proof linking Einstein’s space-time concepts to planetary cycles. Furthermore, if we consider Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development from a psychological perspective, there is no proof there either. And as long as astrology remains rooted in religion and faith, it will become fixed within the religious realm and ultimately transform into a religion itself—at which point the whole thing becomes meaningless. Synchronicity is equated with religion, and these problematic cases will simply continue to accumulate. Modernizing astrology is inevitable, as is a return to the realm of science; yet, poor practices are hindering this process. I myself encounter significant obstacles. There are no minimum professional standards, the current code of ethics is inadequate, and the various schools of thought lack unification.

Placing astrology in the educational system

Hello, I would like to know if there is a country internationally where astrology is legally considered a profession? In Hungary, other educational activities fall under the NSZFH. Which means that there is no system of professional requirements. And there are no quality standards either. We also have a law called a "curious law" that expressly prohibits astrology from touching mental health or its topics. This is quite difficult, isn't it, since an astrologer deals with the client mentally. So I would like to know if there is an international system of requirements and a professional chamber, a professional interest group that gives an educational qualification accepted by the state and the legal system to an astrologer? I ask because I would like to create one here in Hungary. That's why you see these mathematical, biological, and psychological posts from me that are tied to a very tight biological cycle.…
