You hear it fairly frequently: Do no harm.

As an astrologer, how do you know whether your actions are genuinely beneficial?

A system of ethical principles will help you answer that question and guide you when complex considerations arise. Whether you are a counseling astrologer, a researcher, a content producer, or an enthusiast, understanding ethics enables you to practice astrology responsibly.

The Ethics Awareness course is the cornerstone of CAPISAR’s certification program. Based on ISAR's Ethical Standards and Guidelines, it prepares you to practice astrology with a solid understanding of your ethical obligations and aligns our field’s standards with those of other professions.

The Three Components of Ethics Training

  • Online Learning Modules

    The online training modules help provide a foundation in ethics and the unique issues confronting our profession. You’ll also learn tools for self-examination and ethical inquiry. The online modules require from three to five hours and must be completed before attending the live training and discussion.

  • Live Training & Discussion

    In this component of the training, you’ll work with the trainers and other participants to wrangle with ethical questions in real time. Bring your questions, a sense of humility, and a healthy dose of curiosity.

  • Ethics Exam

    Once you’ve completed the first two components, you're ready to take CAPISAR’s Ethics Exam and earn your certificate in ethics awareness from CAPISAR. This hour-long, true/false and multiple-choice exam will be given directly after the live training.
