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.
[..] Although you may hold
strong ideals, you are not likely to be content designing the perfect world on paper; and although
you may hold strong political views, you must practise them as well as preach them. For you,
charity begins at home in your immediate community, not in [...]
[..] You love beauty and probably have a strong response to either music or the visual arts,
and you may possess artistic talent which deserves to be expressed. Whether or not this comprises
your profession, your receptivity to beauty needs a place in your life. Wild nature may [...]
[..] The challenge
of hard work and application does not frighten you, and you can be dogged and persistent once you
have committed yourself to a particular goal or duty to discharge. Sometimes your respect for the
rules makes you a little too hesitant about offering innovative [...]
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.
[..] The difficulty
lies in a recognition of your human limits, and your right to enjoy life as well as making a
contribution to the welfare of others. If you give too much, you may run the risk of exhaustion,
and your physical body may have to cope with the strain of having [...]
[..] Your sense of the unity of life, and your
empathy for others' suffering, make you reluctant to define your own identity too sharply; you may
feel vaguely guilty or "selfish" if you turn away those in need, and you may also fear the
loneliness that comes with any assertion [...]
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.
