I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of your personal "Career and Vocation" horoscope
by Liz Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression
of the complete vocation horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.
This chapter briefly describes your personal perspective on life and explains how you
can best express this in your career.
III. Your aptitudes and strengths
This chapter, which contains 8-10 pages, is one of the most comprehensive sections in
the "Career and Vocation" horoscope. Here is a short selection of three samples from
the numerous aptitudes described in the complete report.
An honest and realistic understanding of your fundamental strengths can help you to orientate
yourself in the world and put your energy into areas where you can hope to shine and achieve at
least many of your most cherished goals.
[..] Even if you have had difficult financial problems in the past,
don't let this discourage you from trying new things - it would be sad if you turned to a
remunerative but boring job because you lost confidence in your dreams.
Your boredom threshold tends to be low, so seek [...]
[..] But you need to take into
account a quality which is essentially independent-minded and unconventional, before you
choose a work direction. It may also be important for you to understand just why certain
rules irritate you so much. It is not that you are unable to understand [...]

find the right vocational path, it also means that you have a much better chance of being truly
happy in your work because you are willing to keep trying and to aim high. Realism is not
always your strongest virtue. You have [...]
IV. Know Your Limits
Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and
get the maximum fulfilment from your work.
[..] " can sometimes
be a wonderful spur to finding just the right vocational path; but it can also spoil things when
you have actually found the thing that truly suits you. Your chief limitation, in terms of your
work, springs from your greatest gift: your ability to envisage [...]
[..] It
is important that you recognise this voice, for if it remains unconscious, you may carry deep
insecurity without realising it; and then you may sabotage your work efforts or quit before
you have completed what you began, from fear that what you produce will be rejected [...]
V. Working with Others
The two final chapters of "Career and Vocation" deal with the way you work together
with your colleagues in your everyday working life, and what success means to you
personally.
One of the most important factors to consider in terms of your direction in life is how you work
with others. Everyone has his or her own style of relating in the working environment; everyone
has different needs and requirements.
VI. What Success Really Means to You
When people speak of "success", they generally mean a position of importance in the
world's eyes, or a job that yields lots of money and all the material pleasures and
comforts that implies. But success, in terms of the deeper issue of vocation, is a highly
individual thing that means different things to different people.
