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.
When we are children, people say to us, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" At that age, we
usually have dreams. When we are children, we are still capable of hearing the voice of the soul.
As we grow older, the questions change. There is no longer time for dreaming; we must now "face
reality" and think about how to survive in the big, bad old world.
This astrological report is about your vocation. It is meant to help you get a sense of what you
might be good at and what might be good for you, so that your working life has a meaning as well
as a pay cheque.
II. How You See the World
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.
[..] The fields of advertising and design, travel and
creative writing, media and new technology, are all spheres where you can come up with a bright
idea, work at it, complete the task in a reasonably short period, and move on to the next project.
You are not the kind of person [...]
[..] You need to feel that your work has meaning, and that you are
learning from it as well as earning financial remuneration. If you are not able to learn, you
cannot see the point of bothering. You also need to know that there is some kind of deeper or
higher purpose in what [...]
[..] This gives you strength and courage, but it
also means that you could wind up in head-on collisions if you work in spheres where others feel
equally strongly but adhere to a different viewpoint from yours. You are inclined to the
unconventional in your thinking, and your [...]
IV. Know Your Limits
This chapter describes your personal limitations and suggests how you can deal with these in your
professional life. In the complete horoscope, this chapter is about 5-7 pages in length.

Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and
get the maximum fulfilment from your work.
[..] You could never become a staid, "solid citizen" who has forgotten how to reach for
the magic which always lies hidden around the next corner. But you may run the risk of dissipating
your talents and finding that, as you got older, you have wasted valuable time and are still [...]
The poet Goethe once wrote about the insult of an ordinary fate, and you are probably in
agreement; your work must reflect what you sense to be extraordinary in yourself. You cannot bear
the idea that you might live your life working for a living in the ordinary way, and [...]
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.
