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.
[..] If you have a gift for
writing, your clear and precise use of words, and your ability to organise ideas in ordered
structures, could make you excel in history, biography, or articles for scientific journals. You
are as interested in the history of thought as you are in the [...]
You have particular mental gifts which equip you to engage in depth research and projects
involving long-term concentration and careful and detailed formulation of ideas. Your mind is
deep, penetrating, and highly structured. Although this may have sometimes proven difficult [...]
[..] This inventive, inspirational quality is a very special gift, particularly because
you do not take such flashes indiscriminately as Truth; you need to understand and test them
before you take them seriously. Intuition, combined with your careful analytic approach, can
produce [...]
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.
[..] But your very rationality can sometimes
exclude many dimensions of life which do not lend themselves to the lens of your scrutiny. In your
personal life, the emotional realm may cause you many difficulties. In your working life, the
realm of the imagination may be excluded [...]
[..] When you are attempting to be most "scientific", you are likely to
be in the grip of an inspiration which, while perhaps immensely creative, is not Truth in any
proven sense; and when you are being most careful to measure ideas against reality, you are at
your most open [...]
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.
