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.

[..] This might cover a wide range of possibilities - from living the artist's life, with all its special difficulties and challenges, to working in those areas where artistic gifts are combined with more market-orientated work such as advertising or web design. Which end of [...]

[..] Ordinary people do not catch buses or prepare their supper in this fantastic landscape, but knights on white horses ride by with pennants flying, and beautiful pale damsels cry out for rescue, chained to rocks while they await the advent of dragons and sea-monsters. Ordinary life [...]

[..] Thus it is important that you can find a sphere of work where you can express your heartfelt vision in creative form. This is not "sublimation" of personal needs and drives, but a transformation of personal experience into forms which are larger than your personal life and [...]

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. Please click here to read a complete sample report

Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and get the maximum fulfilment from your work.

[..] The difficulty arises from how you understand that word "compromise", for self-expression always requires the use of language - verbal, pictorial, auditory, symbolic - and you have to be willing to be fluent in more than your own special language in order to be understood. It is [...]

[..] Everything you do to help yourself ground your imagination in ways which offer you a real vocation would be to your advantage, not just materially but in terms of your inner feeling of self-value. It may be important to recognise that, somewhere deep inside, you expect to [...]

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.
