What Questions Should You Not Ask an Astrologer?
What questions should you not ask an astrologer? A free astrology reading, automated or from a real astrologer, is built to answer certain kinds of questions well. Timing, general themes, self-reflection. It's built to answer other kinds poorly or not at all. Knowing the difference upfront saves a disappointing few minutes.
Questions not to ask an astrologer: medical, legal and financial specifics
"Do I have condition X", "will I win this court case" or "should I make this specific investment" are outside what any astrology reading can answer responsibly, free or paid. These need a licensed professional. They need your actual medical, legal or financial details, not planetary positions.
Yes/no questions about other people's choices
"Does he love me" or "will she come back" ask astrology to report on someone else's internal state and free will. Even within the tradition's own logic, that's not really what a chart can reliably describe. Yours or theirs. A reading can describe your own emotional climate around the situation. That's far more useful than trying to predict another person's decision.

Exact dates for major life events
"What exact date will I get married" or "what day will I get the job" asks for more precision than even detailed traditional timing techniques can deliver. Dashas and transits describe favourable windows and themes. They don't give calendar-exact predictions.
Death, lifespan and other predictions best left alone
Serious traditional astrology treats questions about death and exact lifespan carefully. Most practitioners deliberately decline to answer them, for the same reason a responsible reading here does. There's no ethical or reliable way to answer it. The attempt causes real harm, regardless of accuracy.
What actually works well instead
Questions framed around timing and theme work best. "Is this a good month to make a career change" or "what should I focus on this season" play to what the tradition and the tool are actually built to do. They tend to produce genuinely useful, specific answers.

Frequently asked questions
Can an astrologer tell me if I'll get a specific job?
Not reliably. A reading can describe whether the general timing looks favourable for career moves, not predict a specific outcome with a specific employer.
Why won't this site answer questions about death or exact lifespan?
Serious traditional practice treats this as something to responsibly decline, since there's no reliable way to answer it and doing so can cause real harm.
What questions actually work well for a free astrology reading?
Timing and theme-based questions: whether a period looks favourable for a decision, and what to focus on, rather than yes/no verdicts on specific real-world outcomes.
