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 is one of the reasons why, if you are drawn to any work which involves helping others, you
need to be very clear about your own worth, and very precise in how you ask for fees and set the
structures for your use of time. This also applies if you work within a large [...]
[..] Therefore you feel their pain as your own, and their longings and dreams as
your own longings and dreams. While this might have been a difficult gift in your early life
because of the sense of being sometimes overwhelmed by the unspoken atmospheres of your childhood
environment, [...]
[..] This is a powerful
asset in your work; if you wish to work with others, you may feel most fulfilled working with the
most difficult situations and the most complex people you can find. There is a certain crusading
spirit in you which enjoys taking on the world and hurling [...]
IV. Know Your Limits

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.
[..] If you fail to acknowledge the necessity of
clarity and autonomy, you may run the risk of feeling victimised in work situations where others
have not shown respect for your boundaries and needs. Rather than blaming them, you may need to
look at your own collusion in such [...]
[..] You need to find a balance between genuine compassion and the fear that, if you draw
boundaries, you will be rejected. You have a strongly devotional nature and love feeling that you
are of service to others or to the inner ideals which matter to you. Learn to distinguish [...]
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.
