An Astrological Ethical Dilemma

[mamy]

Please help me, a dear person came to ask for my opinion as an
Astrologer; she has three daughters and she wanted to know if ever
they are going to marry, now I know that they are not going to. Shall
I tell her what I believe is true and break her heart, or shall I say
that I could not find out and the matter is not clear to me and let
her live with her hopes and dreams.
The real question here is should we say all what we know or just say
what we believe is necessary for the greater good?

Perhaps the dream of marriage is more important to the mother than to the
daughters? In any case, one should never be absolutist (he says,
absolutely). It behooves us to be humble, to remember that all we can see
isn't all there is . . . that we can be wrong. Never crush a dream, but
never promise one either. Our best considered judgment is no more than that.

Thank you Richard for your decent answer it really did help.

Mamy, what were the indications that you think meant they would never marry?
I didn't know there was anything so precise for that question. I'd be
interested to hear how you approached this. Was it a horary question or an
examination of birth charts?

An examination of birth charts through good old sound tradditional
Astrology was what I judged with, and here is one date you can examine
for yourself 13th August 1973 Latitude 31 48 Longitude 30 22 at 4 a.m
mind you she was already married and divorced once before.

To answer your original question, I simply refuse to answer questions of that
type.

Also, I am unaware of any process in traditional astrology that predicts a
marriage/no-marriage condition in an absolute manner. Any possibility you could
explain a bit of your logic tree for this? Especially in light of the native
actually marrying once?

Also-also, "Latitude 31 48 Longitude 30 22" fails to convey enough information
to draw up a chart. Perhaps you could state town and country, or the direction
of the latitude and longitude.

I really don't know any indications for whether or not somebody is likely to
marry, except some rather ambiguous Saturn/Venus type things. Those would
never come up with anything as definite as your conclusion, so I would be
interested to know what you did do?
I'm glad it's not Horary as I never studied that. If it's birth charts I
have a chance.
Whose is the birth data? The mother, one of the daughters or somebody
unrelated? As Don Hindenach pointed out, I'd need to know the location more
definitely. If you told me the town I could sort out the coordinates
myself. I'd also need to know the time in GMT, or what time zone and
daylight time applied. But as I said, I still wouldn't get anywhere
examining it by myself, as I don't know what the indicators would be. Can
you explain? I'd like to know more about this.

Unfortunately, you cannot "know" that from a chart.
